  1. When will Sunbird 0.3a2 be considered a official release rather that just a nightly?

  2. I like the new Extensions interface… but I don’t like it THAT much!
    When you go to Tools > Themes, it opens Extensions again.
    I’m excited for alpha2.
    Figuring out interface with Google Calendar as well.

  3. Is it “normal” that with this build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060503 Mozilla Sunbird/0.3a2 print functions are disabled?

    Rigido,
    no that is not normal. But I just tested this with a fresh install of the same build and I can print just fine. Perhaps you are seeing bug 325137?

  5. I like the sunbird calendar very much! We use it with 4 computers over the lan – tho it’s “only” a alpha!
