The Mozilla Add-ons team has release AMO 5.0.9<\/a>, with updates to Recommendations, Collections, and Contributions! For more information, read the AMO blog post<\/a>, excerpted below:<\/p>\n

\n

Add-on Recommendations<\/h3>\n

Some things go great together: peanut butter and jelly, popcorn and movies, Firebug<\/a> and YSlow<\/a>. Starting today, when you\u2019re looking at an add-on\u2019s listing, you\u2019ll see several other add-ons that are often used together. We base these recommendations on the add-ons our users have grouped together in collections.<\/p>\n

Contributions<\/h3>\n

Last month we launched our Contributions pilot<\/a>, a way for add-on authors to accept monetary donations from users of their add-ons. We\u2019ve gotten great feedback from users and developers, and are now expanding the reach of contributions on AMO. Add-ons that have turned on Contributions will now have contribution boxes in search results and category browse listings, where many installations take place.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot<\/div>\n

While these new boxes help surface the existence of contributions, some users aren\u2019t likely to make a donation without first testing the add-on to ensure it\u2019s useful to them. With this release, developers have a new way to accept donations after a user has tried the add-on by simply pointing users to their add-on\u2019s new about page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Collections<\/h3>\n

Since the launch of Collections<\/a> in June, add-on fans have created almost 30,000 collections, resulting in more than 6.5 million add-on downloads. This release includes many new features to make Collections even more useful.<\/p>\n

Logged-in users can now rate collections and sort by those ratings to help the best collections bubble to the top.<\/p>\n

To help determine the popularity of a collection, authors can now access a collection statistics dashboard that shows information on the number of subscribers, ratings, and downloads over time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also added a treat for users of browsers that support localStorage<\/a> (including Firefox 3.5): recently viewed collections. When browsing through the collection directory, users can now easily get back to a collection they saw, without having to log in.<\/p>\n

Public Stats<\/h3>\n

In early 2008, we gave add-on developers their first look at the shiny new Statistics Dashboard<\/a> for each add-on hosted on AMO. Currently some dashboards are public and some are private, but we\u2019ve never offered an in-depth look at the aggregate statistics for all add-ons hosted on AMO.
\nToday we\u2019ve launched a detailed view of AMO as a whole, with data on add-ons, downloads, active users, users, reviews, and collections. Go on, check it out<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Add-on Validation<\/h3>\n

Earlier this month, we announced<\/a> the arrival of the new add-on verification suite on AMO. At the time it was an optional tool developers could choose to run for their files. With this release, the tool will automatically be run when uploading a new file, and the results of the tests will affect the submission process. Editors will see the test results and any flags when reviewing the add-on. We hope to help developers catch common problems before an editor\u2019s review.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
