Hi Martin,

Thank you for your message!

Good to know.

Assuming 0.5.29 will work with Iceweasel/Firefox 38, sure, upgrading to
0.5.29 when Iceweasel 38 will be in Debian Jessie will probably be a
less disruptive change, thanks for the advice.

That’s not likely to happen with the next point release (scheduled in
less than two weeks), but probably with the following one (due in a few
months).

That’s good (will ease reviewing by the release team, before accepting
it for Jessie).

Going back to 0.5 now that 1.0 is in unstable is not straightforward,
but since we are merely preparing the next stable release (Stretch,
probably due in two years), RP 1.0 (or more) will probably be stable at
that time ;).

Regards

David
