Hi all,
We've just released the first release candidate of Jetpack SDK 0.4!
Download it as a tarball or ZIP archive via the following links:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-0.4rc1.tar.gz
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-0.4rc1.zip
Notable enhancements in this version:
- Page Worker API - The page-worker
module provides a way to create a permanent, invisible page and
access its DOM.
- Widget API - The widget
module provides a visually consistent way for add-ons to show
themselves in the browser.
- Simple Storage API - The simple-storage
module provides a way to easily, privately, and persistently
store data across application restarts.
- Private Browsing API - The private-browsing
module provides access to the private browsing service -
detecting if it is active and adding callbacks for transitioning
into and out of private browsing mode.
- Unforgeable ID - Add-ons created with "cfx xpi" now get
a persistent cryptographic identifier, which will eventually be
used to sign the XPI bundle and control access to persistent
state. You will need to delete any "id" key from your
package.json file before building XPIs with this release. See
the Jetpack ID wiki page for details.
- Restartless Add-ons - Add-ons created with "cfx xpi"
can be installed into nightly builds of the next version of
Firefox without requiring users to restart the application.
Unless we discover any late-breaking issues that must be fixed
before we release, these are the builds we will release as Jetpack
SDK 0.4. The release is tentatively scheduled for next Wednesday,
May 26.
Thus now is the perfect time to test these builds and let us know
about any issues you encounter! Feel free to post feedback 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 566901.
