As promised here is a new status update.
As you can see, the last 16 days have brought us a huge load of 45 bug fixes in anticipation of the upcoming 0.9 release.

maybe regression: in month view I can’t view today (28 july). Only if I move to august I view the 28 july: I think should be a scrollbar.
Ciao
where can I find a development roadmap?
it would be great if there were full support for Exchange server calendar.
The only reason I still have outlook on my computer is so that I can use my company’s calendar.
Sorry to come back on a bug that landed on July 11th, which is Bug 444292:
Replace Decorated Header (Nav Bar) by standard Items
What is the rationale behind this bug? I think we loose a very useful function, which is to easily navigate to the 3 coming or preceeding week for instance. The previous function was a tremendous advantage on Outlook. Now it looks like Outlook…
Too sad.
Can somebody explain, please?
Thanks
I think the priority is to fully implement the caldav standard. If MS exchange decides to support caldav then lightning/sunbird should work flawlessly.
Pablo,
we’re working on a development roadmap. Exchange support is not on it currently. That doesn’t mean that we don’t want to have it (we do), just that with our current resources we think that we can make more of a difference in other spaces.
Klint,
we did some extensive UI research there and came to the conclusion that we made seldomly used user-actions (like moving 3 weeks forward/backwards) easy by sacrificing often-used user actions (like going to the next/previous week). Bug 444292 is the reaction to that research.
Does anyone know of a bug filed for switching views between calendar and mail in Shredder 3.0 alpha (now beta)?
Are people aware that you can’t currently switch back and forth?
Is Thunderbird 2.0 still the primary focus until 0.9 is reached?
One of the most voted bugs (199732) is still absolutly forgotten by devs…
:(
Dorsanty,
see Bug 440700.
