Sorry for the late update. We had our hands pretty full with some major fixes (preferences rewrite, installer, etc.), so this update is a bit bigger than the last one. With all these fixes going in, we believe that Sunbird 0.3 and Lightning 0.3 will be great releases, which are worth waiting for.

A huge thanks goes to all testers, developers, reviewers and everyone who gives us feedback.
That’s an impressive list.
I am now using lightning for my personal calendar ( with remote calendar on a ftp ) and it works great..
multiple thunderbirds ( at home and at work ) use the same calendar and it keeps getting better.
1 thing though which I couldn’t find a bug about in bugzilla.
if I click on a calendar it opens the week-view, is there a setting so it opens the month-view ??
Wow, sounds like a lot of work!
Thanks a lot for your efforts! I’m looking forward to 0.3!
I am using lightning on linux,
builds approx. before Jun 7 are ok, but with newer builds rss news do not update.(?? but i get new mail) a really weird bug.
@avova
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342051
I started seeing this bug today also.. Hope to see it fixed soon
Great work!
Ah I see we still have the date format being m/d on the headings in the week view :( And just double-clicking rather than draggin int he week voew makes a new event with a start time of 9 pm for me. Ek and the 24 hour time picker (with no option for a 12 hour one with am and pm). I am a complainer.
Where can I report a bug ?
Removing one of existing Calendar does not work.
Any way, great idea!
Thank you for any help.

Hi! I’m having some problems with lightning. It’s really better than “mozilla calendar”? Cause I’ve found that I can’t configure Lightning Plug in, I can`t see other view than the month view. Also I can`t add tasks, just events, and I find it very poor, comparing it with “Calendar”, wich have much more preferences. I hope you can tell me if this I describe it’s a bug (“lightning” last version) on my downloaded extension.
@Pablo
Remember that Lightning is still at version 0.1 and much work has to be done.
To configure Lightning open Thunderbird preferences dialog and select the Lightning tab.
To select another view use the commands in the Calendar menu or one of the optional toolbar buttons.
To create a new task select File->New->Task, use the optional toolbar button or double click on ToDo pane.

I really hope that the next release includes Palm-syncability. Sunbird is a great alternative to Outlook, but the absence of this feature is preventing it from being viable. Palm-syncability really should be a priority.
I just upgrade lighting and I lost the ability to toggle the calendar on an off with the function key F9. I remember that was kind of add-on. Where it is please?
