As you know, XKit 7 and XKit 6 are completely different, code-base wise. I know that there are a lot of bugs on XKit 6, but I simply do not have the time nor the energy to update them both, especially with the pace Tumblr makes changes, breaking stuff. That would require me writing two very separate codes on each bug, and I already forgot how most extensions on XKit 6 work, making the job even harder.

So as of today, XKit 6 is on “life support”, meaning that I will only update extensions that people use very often, such as One-Click Reblog, and I will stop doing that after I finish adding the Safari support. You’ll receive a notification on top of your dashboard when that happens.

I know it’s bad, making you upgrade like this, but I would like you to have a less buggier and faster Tumblr experience. There are things I can’t change on XKit 6, if I could I would never release XKit 7 and just go on updating 6. XKit 7 includes a lot of structural changes that makes it so responsive and smooth, and also making it easier for me to update it, find bugs and add new features.

So if you are on XKit 6, on Chrome or Firefox, and not dependent on Follower Checker and the very few other extensions not ported yet, please upgrade to XKit 7.

I think you’ll find it much faster and stable, and less buggier than XKit 6. 

Thank you.
