Up to Version 1.1

Up to Version 1.1, ACR was an extension for Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey that lets you enable add-ons that are not compatible with the current version you are using. You can report whether add-ons are compatible or not. Mozilla will collect these reports and inform add-on developers of the status.

Specification

For full details, see the spec.

Release Process

Here are the steps needed for a release to go out:

  1. All bugs fixed have to have the correct Target Milestone in Bugzilla
  2. Mark fixed bugs as FIXED
  3. Briks will post a test build
  4. Henrik Skupin will test bugs in the milestone bucket
  5. If go ahead is given, upload the XPI to AMO.
  6. If issues are reopened, either fix them and return to step 1, or push out to the next release and go ahead and release anyway.
