I have not yet published any information about it. Its in the same
spirit as developer companion and one of the first features will be
insight-based logging as devcomp does now. The major step forward is a
completely pluggable architecture for the UI and backend allowing for
dynamically orchestrated tooling via logging mata data about program
execution and static analysis of source code. As a result the current
featureset of devcomp will be a mere plugin in ginseng.

Are there any other options then use the old firefox 24? Actualy I need to use developercompanion only as client for FirePHP.
