Hello MailDev list, Due to the hard work of  John Bieling (TBSync), Geoff Lankow (DarkTrojan), Christopher Leidigh, and others - we've managed to consolidate and update the information on how to update add-ons for 68 over on developer.thunderbird.net (DTN): https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/upgrading-add-ons-for-tb68 A special shout-out to John as he led the effort to put this guide together on DTN. Now is the time to take a look and provide feedback, the repo for this documentation is on GitHub <https://github.com/thundernest/developer-docs> - so please use the issue tracker there to file bugs and other ideas for how we might improve this. If this is your first time hearing about DTN, it is intended to be a central place for curated Thunderbird developer documentation, more formal than the Wiki. If you have any ideas for how it might generally be improved, please feel free to share your insights or send a pull request. My hope, specifically with the add-on documentation, is that we can be proactive and continue this work in regards to what we know about the update path for add-ons leading up to 76 (the next ESR after 68). Thoughts and ideas are welcome in this thread. :-) -- Ryan Sipes Community and Business Development Manager Thunderbird <https://thunderbird.net>

Thank you to everyone who contributed for this work, and thank you Ryan for the notification. I feel it is very important for Thunderbird's future for addon developers to have a clearly documented path forwards. -- Mark Rousell

I am too... maybe there aren't a lot of Addon devs on this list? If so, that's something that should be looked at ie, how to get them here). I echo Mark's thanks, I don't think Thunderbird's future has looked brighter than it does right now!

Outstanding work indeed. The developer documentation in general is looking better an better everyday and it's an incredibly useful resource to both new and seasoned TB developers. Thank you all for your effort!
