Thunderbird Development

Feature Work

Modern Address Book
  • Some low-level restructuring to encourage code-reuse
  • Started moving Mork connector over to new interface
  • Started to move over to using DeferredTask and Promises.
Instant Messaging
  • a few patches for 17 in the queue (eg Fastamil interop for IM)

Schedule and Progress

  • 16.0.2 and 10.0.10esr released, fixing further security issues mainly due to core code. Also fixed an IMAP download issue.
Beta Version
  • Last week's beta was delayed due to the security issues, should be getting a new beta this week.
Earlybird
  • A spellcheck issue that exists in release bug 790475 has been patched in Daily and Earlybird.
    • Please test HTML mail with non-default fonts, and make sure that spellcheck behaves. Thanks!
