It's tri-licenced (GPL/LGPL/MPL) and their goal is simple: "Correct as many bugs as possible until "Mozilla
Composer2" comes true (Daniel Glazman is already working on it, but it
will take some time). 'll integrate all bugfixes that I've developed for my extensions,
plus some other patches that can't be done with extensions. As a
side-effect, there will be some (few) new features, but this isn't the
goal: new features should rather be added with extensions.
"
0.7.x: correct most bugs of the CSS editor (integration of KaZcadeS and urlCleaner);
0.8.x: correct most Site Manager bugs and helper application support (integration of some parts of NsmConText);
0.9.x: correct some
code reformatting bugs (Nvu/KompoZer will always reformat your code, I
just would like that this reformatting doesn't affect scripts nor
<pre> blocks).
