661531 - [ACR Extension] Bump for new Thunderbird versions

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Compatibility Tools, defect, P1)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

We've decided to match Thunderbird versions with Firefox.

Please can the ACR be bumped to accommodate this. Revised versioning:

* 3.3* builds will now be 5.0*
* The aurora channel has 6.0* (although we've not published builds for this yet).
* The nightly channel has 7.0* (or use the .nightly pref).

AMO only currently has 5.0b1 and 5.0b2pre in it, I'm currently working towards getting the newer versions added.

If you are satisfied with this let me know and I will upload to AMO and release.

Verified fixed by check-in. Thanks Brian.

For the future we should try to detect the version of the application automatically and disable compatibility checks given the version. That would stop us from having to update the prefs list over and over again. I will file a new bug for it.

That's already been done.  See bug 659048.  For future versions, all that'll be required is for the ACR extension itself to get a version-bump (I think?).

This is only for the nightly channel but not for any other channel. I have filed bug 665848 earlier today.
