Appists!
Here's what's new in Simulatorland.
*3.0.1 Hotfix Update*
We released a 3.0.1 hotfix update to address three issues: two potential
security vulnerabilities and a breaking API change on Nightly/Aurora
builds of Firefox. If you're still running 3.0, and Firefox hasn't
prompted you to update, then update the addon at AMO
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/>!
For details, see the comparison between 3.0 and 3.0.1
<https://github.com/mozilla/r2d2b2g/compare/3.0...3.0.1>.
*v4 Plan*
The next version of the Simulator is hot on the heels of the last one!
Per this developer-tools thread
<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.developer-tools/vF8vb0RESpY/discussion>,
our focus is this set of bugs and mostly minor enhancements
<https://github.com/mozilla/r2d2b2g/issues?direction=asc&milestone=4&sort=created&state=open>,
and we intend to ship it on Tuesday, June 25.
*v4 Preview Builds*
I spin preview builds of the next version of the Simulator every week or
two, usually on a Wednesday or Thursday. Today's build includes a number
of bug fixes and enhancements, including touch event simulation
(courtesy ochameau <https://github.com/ochameau>) and initial support
for testing receipts (hat tip nickdesaulniers
<https://github.com/nickdesaulniers>)! Thus clicking and dragging in the
Settings app should now do what you expect, and you can test
installation of an app with a receipt by selecting the receipt type when
adding the app.
Install the latest preview build for Windows
