Monthly update: November 2022

Work continues on Read Next, the new reading list extension for Firefox, as it gets closer to the release of version 1.0. There is one more beta release coming soon, with version 1.0 planned for release in December. Testers are still needed to help find those elusive lingering bugs, so spread the word! And if you're enjoying Read Next, don't forget to leave a review on the Mozilla Add-ons page.

An update to Clippings was released earlier this week, and an update for Clippings for Thunderbird is expected to be available once it passes review by the Thunderbird add-ons reviewers.

The next priority is making additional improvements to the new AE Creations website to prepare for decommissioning the old website that is hosted on SourceForge. This change-over is planned for January 2023.

Other than that, I'll be slowing down a bit due to the upcoming holiday season, but I'm planning on doing some research into migrating the extensions for Firefox to Manifest v3 (MV3). I'm thinking of migrating Panic Button first, as it's an extension with a fairly small code base, and is due for an update; this project is planned for kick-off in the new year.

Clippings 6.4.3 released!

Another minor update to Clippings 6.4 has been released, and is now available from Firefox Add-ons and the AE Creations website. Clippings 6.4 requires Firefox 91 or newer.
