  WG9s : I am receiving email alerts about 2.57 builds. Should I understand that no more 2.53 builds will be forthcoming?
• 14:44
  WG9s
  NO I am just doing 2.57 builds to try to fix about:buildconfig to present accurate info about the source being used.
• 14:45
  WG9s
  taking the changes I did for 2.53 and trying to fix them to work on 2.57
• 14:45
  WG9s
  he current builds will probably be the rast ones for a long while
• 14:45
  WG9s
  but the builds with today's date should have better links for what was the source in about:buildconfig

  frg_Away
  tonymac|away yes but many are borken. Don't bother. 2.53.13b1 pre is much more advanced now. Only lagging in a few non key areas compared to 2.57.

  tonymec|away: that was the pioint of 2.53 last version that supports classical extensions. so 2.57 was supposed to be first version to supportrt webextensions, but work on that is kind of behind.

  WG9s aaaah I see. The extensions I have are classical ones, and they work (on 2.53) but the add-ons manager is kind of broken (no names and just "(disabled)" on every line).
• 16:55
  WG9s
  tonymec|away: that is the issue frg is ignoring 2.57 becuase he de[ends on classical extensions tha tdo not seem to have a webextension equivalent.

  so one less develper on 2.57 so no real progressI was onlhy trying to get about:buildconfig to give correwct info in case work starts again here.
• 16:57
  WG9s
  need to have good info on what is and what is not included to figure out how to bisect issues.
• 16:58
  WG9s
  I created a patch to fix about:buildconfig on 2.53 and decided to port to 2.57 so that is all that is happening here
• 16:59
  WG9s
  I had no idea you had signed up for my build updates.
• 17:01
  tonymec|away
  WG9s: you must have forgotten that I asked you to write me in. I find these notifications useful even if sometimes I get the new build before I see the notification.
