Jetpack SDK 0.2 release candidate 2 now available!
Myk Melez
We've just released the second 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-0.2rc2.tar.gz
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/jetpack-sdk-0.2rc2.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, including additional Windows fixes since the first release candidate.
In particular, we've removed the --no-quit option, which you no longer need when running cfx testall in order to see the output of tests, as the output will now appear directly in your Command Prompt window.
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, which is tentatively scheduled for this Friday, March 26, check out the release tracking bug 551040.

Output problems with cfx test and run commands seem resolved with Win
XP, although I get the message
"Program terminated unsuccessfully." Looking forward to the rest of
your tutorial!

Hopefully we will have it fixed soon, but I don't think it's a blocker
for releasing 0.2 right now--we'll probably just mention it under the
"known issues" section of the release notes.
