Wow, that is easy ;-)

All devs take not of this commit, it will come up reasonably frequently.

I wonder if it is possible to do something like:

<em:maxVersion>1.5.*</em:maxVersion>

Thanks for this info.

I did 1.5+ (meaning it will work with every version to version 2.0). I 
doubt very much that any of our simple textbox and buttons stuff will 
break in a minor release. If so we can always downgrade the maxVersion.

Yes it seems that it is possible, I have found this in the 
developer.mozilla.org site :
------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Version format

A *version string* consists of one or more /version parts/, separated 
with dots.

Each *version part* is itself parsed as a sequence of four parts: 
<number-a><string-b><number-c><string-d>. Each of the parts is optional. 
Numbers are integers base 10 (may be negative), strings are ASCII.

A few examples of valid version parts:

    * 0 (as in 1.0): <number-a>=0
    * 5a (as in 1.5a): <number-a>=5, <string-b>=a
    * 5pre4 (as in 3.5pre4): <number-a>=5, <string-b>=pre, <number-c>=4
    * * (as in 1.0.*): <string-b>=*

A few special parsing rules are applied for backwards compatibility and 
readability:

    * if the version part is a single asterix, it is interpreted as an
      infinitely-large number:
      1.5.0.* is the same as 1.5.0./(infinity)/
    * if string-b is a plus sign, number-a is incremented to be
      compatible with the Firefox 1.0.x version format:
      1.0+ is the same as 1.1pre

The rationale behind splitting a version part into a sequence of strings 
and numbers is that when comparing version parts, the numeric parts are 
compared as numbers, e.g. '1.0pre1' < '1.0pre10', while the strings are 
compared bytewise. See the next section for details on how versions are 
compared.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


We can either put 1.5+ or 1.5.*

Don't know what is best.
