This version of the SDK has two major new features as well as many smaller ones and some important bug fixes. <\/p>\n<p>The two most important new features of this release are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Mobile Support!<\/em> &#8211; Developers can now start developing add-ons for the mobile version of Firefox. For the initial release of mobile compatibility we have the page-mod API working which will allow developers to create modifications to web content within their add-on. This is quite useful for creating mobile versions of website that do not have a good mobile support. This support for mobile Firefox is <strong>only<\/strong> for the new Native Android versions of Firefox (at time of this post, Aurora and Nightly). Primers on getting started developing add-ons for mobile Firefox can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2012\/02\/06\/mobile-add-on-development-using-the-add-on-sdk\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/developers\/docs\/sdk\/1.5\/dev-guide\/addon-development\/mobile.html\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Localization!<\/em> &#8211; Localization has finally come to the Add-on SDK! For this initial version localizers can translate javascript-embedded strings with HTML string support coming in a future SDK release. An introduction on how to localize strings can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/developers\/docs\/sdk\/1.5\/dev-guide\/addon-development\/l10n.html\">in the documentation<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more new features and known issues in Add-on SDK 1.5, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Labs\/Jetpack\/Release_Notes\/1.5\">Release Notes!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As always, we&#8217;d love to hear from you about your experiences with this release.
