Hi all, today https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1449791 finally landed on Mozilla Central. This bug removed the overlay loader from Mozilla code. Effect on Thunderbird Daily: None at all since we were well prepared. Special thanks to Richard Marti who tirelessly removed overlay after overlay from Comm Central until they were all gone(*). He did 99.97% of the work in "Swiss quality" himself with a little assistance from Aceman and myself. Richard had to juggle huge patches. Great job, Richard!! Note that Calendar which still uses XUL overlays broke earlier when non-restartless add-ons were discontinued by M-C. Geoff Lankow and Philipp are working on re-establishing a solution that will allow XUL add-ons incl. Calendar to function again. It is yet to be decided what TB's plan for add-ons will be at the next ESR which will be TB 68 ESR. Most likely it will be a mix of WebExtensions and restartless add-ons in some new yet-to-be-defined shape. Jörg. (*) There are some overlays left in mailnews/ which are solely used by SeaMonkey. Sadly SeaMonkey had no manpower to prepare for today with many overlays left, so I assume that it's completely malfunctioning as of today.

Thank you, Richard! Very much appreciated. Particularly given that you do all this as volunteer work! Same thanks goes to the other good souls that also tirelessly work under the hood as volunteers.
