Jetpack 0.2 release candidate 1 now available!
Myk Melez
We've just released the first release candidate of Jetpack SDK 0.2. Download it as a tarball or ZIP archive via the following links:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-0.2rc1.tar.gz
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-0.2rc1.zip
As I mentioned earlier, this release does not yet contain the high-level APIs we've been developing, which we are continuing to work on for inclusion in future releases. It does, however, include a number of bug fixes, especially for running the SDK on Windows.
Remember that you'll also need Python 2.5 or later on your system. Once you have that, just unpack the tarball/ZIP archive and check out the README.txt file to get started.
We'd love to hear any feedback you have about this build! Feel free to post it to this discussion forum or file a bug in Bugzilla. And to keep a closer eye on the status of the release, check out the release tracking bug 551040.

I still have a problem running this with Win XP, when for example
trying cfx testall a second console window appears briefly, then
disappears leaving me with just the following in the main window:
Testing all available packages: test-harness, jetpack-core.
Total time: 3.640000 seconds
Program terminated successfully.
How do I keep the second window from closing?
Thanks.

There is a note on the getting-started page for this I think...
Note: If you're on Windows, you may need to add the
--no-quit
option to cfx to prevent the above output from disappearing
instantly.--

the Jetpack SDK without ever having to think about the command line.
We are finalizing the web-based cfx packaging part of FlightDeck now,
once complete, we will be doing a public beta.

js-based once we have more CommonJS stdlib functionality available,
but it's not a super-high priority; right now Python and the Jetpack
SDK are quite complementary because Python is a really mature platform
that is great for making command-line tools quickly and easily, while
the Jetpack platform is concerned first and foremost with extending
the browser and the web, rather than doing things at the command-line.
It might actually be easier in the near future to create a "Windows
Jetpack SDK Installer" that installs a frozen (py2exe'd) version of
cfx and other tools, possibly even FlightDeck too, which would allow
Windows devs to develop locally without having to deal with
prerequisites.
Any other ideas you have to improve the developer experience here
would be appreciated!
