Firefox/Thunderbird Extension Versioning

on 19-Oct-2005 in Lizard

Can someone please verify this is correct:

1.0.x builds -> 1.0
Deer Park -> 1.0+
1.5b1 and 1.5b2 -> 1.4
Latest nightlies (I think) -> 1.5.0
For more info on 1.5 here

I come across queries once in a while looking for certain versions, and I want to make sure I’m passing on the right information.

    You’re right up to 1.5b1.

    1.5b2 -> 1.4.1 (this was originally planned to be the number for 1.5rc1, but that was when only one beta was planned).

    Latest nightlies -> 1.4.1

    Tomorrow’s build -> 1.5 (mscott just checked in a patch to bump it – bug 312392)

    rc1 -> 1.5

    1.5 -> 1.5

    Depends on the nightly.
    Branch nightlies as of today is 1.5 (as it the RC)
    Trunk nightlies I believe are 1.6b

    And as mentione before
    1.5beta1 -> 1.4
    1.5beta2 -> 1.4.1

    However I’ve heard wildcards were checked in, so your max could be 1.4* and works in both beta1 and 2.

    As best I can tell, the current state is:


    Releases
    1.0.x -> 1.0
    1.5beta1 -> 1.4
    1.5beta2 -> 1.4.1

    Nightlies
    Branch ( Pre-Firefox RC1 ) -> 1.4(.1)
    Branch (Post-Firefox RC1 ) -> 1.5
    Trunk (Deer Park Alpha 2) -> 1.6a1
