Once you've got that, just unpack the archive, open the jetpack-sdk/README.txt file, and follow its instructions.

Notable Changes

  • The Context Menu API has undergone large changes in order to support the execution of addons in separate processes (i.e. the project codenamed "Electrolysis"). Read more in the mailing list posting and 0.9 documentation.
  • The Private Browsing API has undergone significant changes in order to support Electrolysis. Learn about the new version of the API from its 0.9 documentation.
  • The Widget, Simple Storage, Notifications, Selection, and Request APIs have been changed to use the "EventEmitter" model for registering events. Learn more by browsing the 0.9 documentation for those APIs in the addon-kit package.

A complete list of changes is available in the source code repository.
