Rocketeers!
We've just released the first release candidate for Add-on SDK

The final release is tentatively scheduled for next Monday, December
6, and this is a big, important release, as it our first beta!
Note that this version of the SDK is not a feature-complete beta, as
we intend to enhance existing APIs and add new APIs in future beta
releases. But it is a feature-stable beta, which means that we don't
expect to make any breaking changes to the existing APIs in
subsequent betas, and the bar for making such changes is very high.
As a result, this release features a number of changes to the APIs
and their documentation that we have made for consistency,
simplicity, e10s-compatibility, etc.
To have the most successful possible release, it's imperative that
we test the hell out of this release candidate to shake out any last
remaining release blockers. Can you help? Please do! Try out the
candidate, and report any problems you discover via a
bug
report or by posting to this discussion group.
And if you think the problem should block the release, add a comment
