Firebug 1.6 release

The Firebug Working Group is proud to present the Firebug 1.6 release!

We have introduced many innovations that are listed on the release notes for Firebug 1.6 . Please review the changelog and let me know if you need any additional information.
')
We worked hard, but most of the innovations would never see the light without input from third-party developers, translators and designers. For a complete list of development participants, see the special page in our wiki.

We have significantly increased the stability of Firebug and got rid of a lot of memory leaks - we argue that this is the best release of Firebug ever.

We focus on quality and constantly expand the list of automatic tests . We run them to check every release and always publish the results . Any Firebug user can run the test suite locally and upload the result to our website. In this way, we collect data on the state of stability on various platforms.

Firebug 1.6.0 has been downloaded to addons.mozilla.org and is about to offer your Firefox update. Experience suggests that bypassing the alpha and beta versions of a release, some annoying bugs may leak through, so in the near future, most likely expect minor releases.

Firebug 1.6.0 is designed for Firefox 3.6 , while we are already working on Firebug 1.7 , focusing on compatibility with Firefox 4.0. Previously, the next version will be available early next year. See also the list of known issues with Firefox 4.0.

Beta testers who used earlier versions from getfirebug.com will also be offered to upgrade .
