The Jetpack team is pleased to announce the release of Add-on SDK 1.0b2<\/em>.\u00a0 This version, the second in the series of beta releases of Mozilla’s downloadable software development kit for building Firefox add-ons, includes a variety of architectural improvements and a number of fixes for issues encountered by beta testers.<\/p>\n

Notable architectural improvements include support for the CommonJS Asynchronous Module Definition API<\/a>, which makes it possible to load code modules asynchronously, and the ability to specify the object to use as the “exports” object for a module.<\/p>\n

To get started building add-ons with the SDK, download it<\/a> and then check out the tutorial<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this version of the SDK is not a feature-complete beta, as we intend to enhance existing high-level APIs and add new ones in future beta releases. But it is a feature-stable beta, which means that we don\u2019t expect to make breaking changes to the existing set of high-level APIs in subsequent betas, and we will make such changes only for very good reasons.<\/p>\n

Low-level APIs and functionality labeled experimental<\/em> or internal<\/em> in the SDK documentation remain subject to change in future releases.<\/p>\n

As always, we’d love to hear from you! You can collaborate with us in a variety of ways:<\/p>\n
