Release NTT version 3.8 #207

Closed whimboo closed 8 years ago

whimboo commented 8 years ago

When all the dependencies have been fixed we will release a new version.

Steps to do:

whimboo commented 8 years ago

@xabolcs: while bumping min/max versions I noticed that the latest release of Seamonkey was based on:

43.0 2.40 14. März 2016[25] Als Basis wird die Mozilla-Firefox-Version 43.0 verwendet.

Would the changes we have made be incompatible with it, given that I said Firefox 45? Also we should remove Songbird from our list, given that the project is dead since 3 years.

Only AppConstants.jsm was introduced.

AppConstants.jsm was brought to you by Bug 1124503 with milestone mozilla39.

UtiluMark commented 8 years ago

In Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection, NTT is used to display the version number in the titlebar of Firefox 4.0.1 and higher. If a change breaks the compatibility with older versions of Firefox, that would mean having to include multiple NTT versions. Is that really necessary?

xabolcs commented 8 years ago

In the long term NTT would be restartless and would support the last (or sometimes the last two) version of ESR Firefox.

whimboo commented 8 years ago

Why Firefox 4.0.1? You know that this version is not only outdated and unsupported but also full of security issues these days. Absolutely no-one should use such an old version anymore. That said, I do not see why add-ons should keep compatibility way down this road.

That's indeed way better! So we can keep support for some SeaMonkey releases. Thanks.

UtiluMark commented 8 years ago

@whimboo Utilu Mozilla Firefox Collection contains all major versions of Firefox and uses NTT to display the version number in the titlebar for Firefox 4.0.1 up to the latest Nightly. This is useful for web developers, so they can see how their websites look when rendered using different versions. If a necessary change in NTT breaks the compatibility with older versions of Firefox, multiple NTT versions will be included, but if that can be avoided easily that would be preferred.
