We should release Jetpack SDK 0.5.

Use this bug to track tasks that need to be done to release the product, like spinning candidate builds and publishing a blog post about it.

Use bug 572302 to track code blockers for the release.

Known blockers resolved, and rc1 pushed <http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-jetpack/browse_thread/thread/371c945c2c4b6a56>.

We're discussing taking bug 572977 over in that bug, which would require spinning another RC.

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Because of bug 572977, I spun a second RC <http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-jetpack/browse_thread/thread/63ae170b91258b29>.

Our IT guy (responsible for pushing the website changes) was in a marathon meeting that didn't let out until after he had to leave work, so we rescheduled the release for first thing in the morning tomorrow (Thursday, June 24).

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
