All nightly builds and all releases are still created on the TB 17 release branch. My changes were such that the builds work on any branch between TB 17 and TB 25 (I didn't test newer versions yet). As of TB 19 the only binary component in Enigmail is a tiny C-library wrapping some standard OS functionality. In other words, there is no dependency on Mozilla libraries anymore. - -Patrick - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.20 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEVAwUBUjlG0sk25cDiHiw+AQhk+Af8CGdHaMkC1Lo6iANSmdcGqAcHfy4TjXkP 2HOXqDrvFi6yxno8GLu7i7fdddA0XsILvtHMq2Fcx4wa2pI1owyNfeYQrky9Q54d SWa7L4jmyYq5wOG5lXTt7QeiwcRhA4QAU9EJR/UlJBa5qtn3yI8Fkh6RMYxL6/gA l4+CxLpj7vq5LvEogs+YTiwx8URRINrh5VThoKj09isd5/G+VstHRbyLu0Rp6zos aEqqlFka/VhEf2k/qDVdWUY6n6uxWoD54K5a3gtaoDSZuwaiB+bcJx5BW0n4xG3p uthzYhHwm6NFBzzxtK0zfYgGPesQSiF/+LZy7v9KEeuN75otBpawjQ== =cXLW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
