Features are the following: * All platforms are supported. archive attachment files when sending email. The main purpose is to: - reduce size of message (emails > 5 Mb are generally blocked by ISPs). Auto Compress File is a Thunderbird add-on which allows to compress attachment files when sending an email. The choice is between v68 without addons or v60 with addons. Are there so much interest to move to TB v68? Do you change your toaster every year just because there are new ones on the market? I don't. All my addons are already compatible with TB v60. If you do so, sending me a simple "thank-you" email would be greatly appreciated. I think i made this work the best professional i could, so my code is well structured and full of comments. Why would i do twice something which worked pretty well? - All my addons are Mozilla-licensed (~ free softwares), so sources are open for all developers which would be interested to follow the new Mozilla standards. It already took me thousands and thousands and thousands of hours to develop my addons, working everyday on making them the more stable and practical possible. I'm tired of all this, and as i have another real job to afford my bills, i'm not ready to make all that effort for so few consideration. I have had already several bad experiences in the past when my addons got broken just because Mozilla changed something which used to work without even thinking about compatibility or giving information. That is not the first time that Mozilla is acting as if addons developers and the community was not important. I mean a relevant guide, not an information note explaining that the addons should be restartless, turned into webextensions and so on, and not even giving an example. Besides the fact Mozilla leaves us doing the "dirty work", they are not even able to provide detailed information about how to make the old addons compatible with their new standards. I don't know how much a mozilla developer is paid, but speaking for myself the sum of the contributions i have ever received for 6 free addons during almost 10 years are a figure with 3 digits max. TB v68 compatibility note: There is no plan to move the addon to the TB v68 "standards", and here is why: - Mozilla itself has decided not to work on compatibility developments and leave "that" to the addon developers.
