655632 - link to docs from onMessage deprecation message

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, enhancement, P2)

Description

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

It would be handy for the `onMessage` deprecation message to include a link to the docs on `self.on`, i.e. something like:

warning: The global `onMessage` function in content scripts is deprecated in favor of the `self.on()` function. Replace `onMessage = function (data){}` definitions with calls to `self.on('message', function (data){})`.  For more info on `self.on`, see <https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b5/docs/dev-guide/addon-development/web-content.html>.

(Ideally, the link would use the "latest" symlink to get the latest version of the page, but bug 645731 prevents us from doing that.)

The code involved is actually in the SDK, not the documentation.

Adding a pull request that contains Myk's proposed change (though it uses the AMO domain, and uses "latest").

Re-prioritizing all 1.1-targeted feature requests to 1.2.
