I&#8217;d like to thank everyone involved for all the hard work, but in particular there are a few people who deserve special mention:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atul Varma &amp; Aza Raskin started Jetpack in 2009 in Mozilla Labs, then <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.toolness.com\/wp\/2010\/01\/evolving-firefox-extensions\/\">rebooted it<\/a> in 2010, ushering in the modern era of content scripts, CommonJS modules the command-line cfx tool and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/builder.addons.mozilla.org\/\">Add-on Builder<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Dietrich Ayala, David Mason, Myk Melez &amp; Brian Warner who guided the project through the &#8216;re-boot&#8217; phase, always with an eye to landing Jetpack&#8217;s capabilities in Firefox and revolutionizing how Firefox features are made.<\/li>\n<li>Dave Townsend, Irakli Gozalishvili and the rest of the current Jetpack team who have done a ton of work coordinating a series of important changes to make the SDK fit nicely into mozilla-central.<\/li>\n<li>Various Mozilla Labs engineers including Shane Caraveo, Anant Narayanan, Andrew Sutherland &amp; David Ascher who kicked the tires and built prototyped their own crazy ideas based on our shaky prototypes and beta releases.<\/li>\n<li>Our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/addon-sdk\/blob\/master\/doc\/dev-guide-source\/credits.md\">fantastic contributors<\/a> who keep showing up with great code for new features and bug fixes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that we ship with Firefox I have decided to dial back the frequency of these posts to every 6 weeks on uplift and instead highlight for developers the new features and bug fixes that have landed in the recent Nightly cycle.
