Dear Add-on Developer,

As you might know, Thunderbird 60 will be released in May 2018. Thunderbird 60 Beta is currently available on the beta channel.

Many things have changed in the Mozilla platform code onto which Thunderbird and add-ons are based. We have tried to compile a comprehensive list of changes. With a high likelihood your add-on will require some changes to be compatible with Thunderbird 60. In many cases those changes are minor. We ask you to test your add-on with this version and fix any issues. Please contact the Thunderbird team as described here if you need support.

If your add-on is still compatible without any changes, please visit the Mozilla’s Add-ons site and mark it compatible. For your add-on(s), click on “Manage Status & Versions”, then under “Listed versions”, click the link for a version and set its compatibility.

To protect users from malfunction of Thunderbird caused by incompatible add-ons, the Thunderbird team has decided to classify all add-ons which have not been marked compatible with Thunderbird 60 as incompatible. These add-ons will not be enabled. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

At least for Linux the "beta channel" link is good for 60.0b1.
Thought there is a b2 coming up. Shouldn't run any test with that version?

Yes, TB 60 beta 2 is coming up tomorrow. It doesn't matter which version
you use for testing, but from tomorrow all add-ons that haven't been
updated will be incompatible :-(

Hey Chris, and thanks for helping out!

For Google docs, just put the document into "suggestion mode" (menu on top
right) from the menu on top and add your suggestions right there.
