Because I will be using some of the new syntaxes in my EasyList that are only understood by Adblock Plus 0.7.1 series or higher, I regret that I will be dropping EasyList support for Adblock 0.5 and Adblock Plus 0.5/0.6/0.7.0.
It may still work ok with other versions, but there will be some issues.
The EasyElement filter will obviously be unaffected as it only works with Adblock Plus 0.7 anyway.
Hey .... upgrade folks .... get with the program!

Well, people still only on Firefox 1.0 for some reason are in trouble now. They can't upgrade to the newest versions of ABP. But since Firefox 2 is out and Mozilla and Wladimir have dropped support for it, I don't see why you can't either.

Not to mention the security problems that have been fixed since Firefox 1.0 was released. If you keep using old versions like this, then you're surfing the 'net with a "Kick Me!" sign taped to your back.

In fairness people using Debian stable are using a Firefox 1.0 with backported security fixes, so there's one good reason that someone might be using it.The Masked Marauder wrote:Not to mention the security problems that have been fixed since Firefox 1.0 was released.

That said, backwards compatibility can't be maintained forever and you often have to break it in order to evolve.
