I would like to mention that the relevant changelist for v29.4.0.1 stated "please update your extension before the next major release."
You're being
very disingenuous here.
v29.5.0 was
planned to be released 8 weeks after that announcement (so you've even got more time than that now), but due to the forced reorganization because of the extended attack we've been under we decided to extend 29.4.
The removal of fuel was already in the pipeline before that change in planning. This progression extending 29.4 was NOT planned beforehand and the time frame for normal development changes applied regardless. Now trying to find some reason to paint us black as a result is just...
Our release schedule has also been published with 29.5 planned at an 8 week interval that whole time, so extension devs would, if they cared, have taken the given time to fix their stuff. They did not.
I would have stated this (the time frame) in the release notes of 29.4.0.1 if it was known at the time. But it was not, and I'm still not clairvoyant. Rolling back the FUEL removal was clearly stated as a
temporary measure to give people more time and
that is all. You can't blame us for not undoing work that was already in the pipeline just because there's an arbitrary version number difference. This release
IS a security release. The fact that there have also been
select other changes doesn't change that fact. Are you saying we should not be allowed to make
any other changes at all to anything?
What unwritten law is that? In that case there would also not have been a TLS 1.3 compat mode. But hey no complaints about that, is there, now? I'd call that something that starts with the letter "H"...
So ultimately you can blame this too on Fedor, Roytam, Djames, and all the rest of the tribe that decided to target us.
