|Improved add-on packaging system | |||
|Main article: [http://xulforge.com/blog/2010/03/xpi-v2-making-ext-dev-easier/ XPI v2 – Making Extension Development Easier] | |||
The idea is to create a new packaging system for add-ons that makes it much easier to get started with add-on development. There are 3 parts to this idea: | |||
* Merge install.rdf and chrome.manifest into a single manifest file in JSON format. | |||
* Change the way chrome URLs map to actual files, in order to allow a more flexible add-on structure. | |||
* (optional?) Optimize the installation process for performance. | |||
The old system would need to continue to work with the new one. | |||
