Hi all -

So, I am just about to release the beta of my plugin, which I finally have working smoothly with 9.0.6, and apparently it has issues with 10beta. Is there a list of breaking changes in the API somewhere that I can look at, or should I be just trying to figure it out? I looked through the developer docs, and perhaps I missed it.

Thanks,
MR

Hi MR,

We will need more information, e.g. error log, to assist.

Thanks. I'm not looking for help debugging at the moment - I haven't installed the beta yet. I'm just looking to see if there's documentation on changes.

As predicted, the error log did assist, and I was able to fix it with a backward compatible patch. The problem was using httpRequest to read a file.

Plugin’s files come with the installation have different paths in xpi (jar://) and source (file://). This may affect how you use them. It has been like this since Zotero 7 or earlier.

Thanks, that wasn't the issue. There was a change in how  Zotero.HTTP.request() works (which I think has been coming for a while?), so I used  XMLHttpRequest.
