Hi, If someone has heroes-0.1.xpi installed, then Firefox's extension manager periodically checks the URL specified under em:updateURL in install.rdf of heroes-0.1.xpi for information about new versions.
Info on em: updateURL: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/install.rdf#updateURL Example: http://www.mozdev.org/heroes/update.rdf When you release heroes-0.2.xpi, then you should update the file at http://www.mozdev.org/heroes/update.rdf with information about that release. Sample update.rdf (note you can name this file anything as long as it matches what's specified in em:updateURL) here: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Extension_Versioning%2C_Update_and_Compatibility#Update_RDF_Format Hope that helps!

Hello I've been looking for this on newsgroups and mozilla developer related site, but this seems like its "something everyone knows", but I dont :O Well, I've made my first release on the 6th named "heroes-0.1.xpi" and then today named "heroes-0.2.xpi" and thrown them in downloads/, so far so good. While I wait for the mirrors to update, then I would like to hear how the client (firefox XULrunner update manager (at least thats what I think its called)) finds out I made a new version. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list Project_owners@mozdev.org http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
