AMO maintenance release - v3.4.5

July 12th, 2008 by bhashem

This minor revision to AMO includes some fixes to some vexing problems as well as a few ease-of-use features. We’ve added a “slider mechanism” to the front page so that you users iterate through five of the featured add-ons.

Some of the bugs resolved include the dreaded “version bumped add-on will not install”, empty review pages (sometimes), and ability to see sandboxed versions of a public add-ons.

For localizers: You can now upload language packs for applications.

For Add-ons Authors: Previously, if you wanted to link to the XPI file hosted on AMO, you had to update your links for every version released. Now you can link to the latest downloadable revision of your add-on by using the following URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/{Addon-ID}. This will redirect to the latest available XPI file for your add-on.

See the full fix list.

    The slider is a nifty feature but it shouldn’t be dependent on functions in __utm.js. Many users block tracking scripts, not quite without a reason.

    The slider looks good but I would suggest to have a maximum length for the descriptions. Otherwise long text stretches the box and I need to scroll between the slider navigation and the extension title. Besides it results in a more or less big white gap.

    @Wladimir: As you said, __utm.js is a tracking script. jQuery is what the slider depends on.

    Strange, now the slider works without whitelisting __utm.js as well…
