Announcing Add-on SDK 1.16!

[Jeff Griffiths]

I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of Add-on SDK 1.16!
You can download the SDK directly:

* https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/addon-sdk-1.16.zip
* https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/jetpack/addon-sdk-1.16.tar.gz

This is a minor release meant to provide compatibility with Firefox 29
and a smooth development experience when using the new Australis UI
apis I featured in my previous post. In addition, this new release
fixes the following issues:

* “bootstrap.js must remove the added resource: URIs on unload” -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=944951
* “Add-on SDK 1.15 incompatible with Python 2.7.6″ -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=958609
* “Console is flooded with javascript strict warnings” -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=963401

The AMO validator tool is scheduled to be updated to support
extensions created with SDK 1.16 next Tuesday April 1st (no, really).
As always, we’d love to hear from you about your experiences with this
release.

cheers, Jeff
