  1. Good work, any estimation on beta 1 release date (even if 1.0pre works quite well on TB 3b2)?

  2. Impressive!
    Will you start work for Tb3 only after its release or during late betas?

  3. @Marc: development for tb2.x has stopped months ago, all development is for TB3 now.

  4. Thanks for the good work on Lightning! I am the biggest fan of it :) Shouldn’t have changed to 64bit under Ubuntu, because now I am excluded from using it. Even this is not working because of Firefox 3.09: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.8/contrib/linux-x86_64/
