Re: [devcomp] Re: End of life for DeveloperCompanion extension (Firefox 25+)

[Christoph Dorn]

Hi Karel,

Ginseng is coming along and I hope to have a first release by Q3 this year.

Firefox 24 is still your best bet.

I know this whole situation of not having a proper client for FirePHP
sucks. This will be remedied for good with the release of Ginseng as
along with it or soon after I will be publishing various open source
libraries and projects that can be used to build your own clients and
integrate them into IDEs etc... I hope to dramatically open up the
"Insight" logging ecosystem and you can expect lots of activity in this
direction this year.

Christoph
