The project to develop a new browser-based web client launched four years ago at the September 2013 Evergreen developer hack-a-way when the developer community voted to move away from the XUL client and explore other platforms. The first web client preview became available in Evergreen 2.7 when circulation was available in the new platform.

The browser-based client is available due to the work of many coders, testers, bug reporters, documentors, translators, project managers, spec writers, funders and other contributors over the past four years.
