Status update (31 July)

Here’s a new update for everyone waiting to hear more from the Sunbird/Lightning developers. We are making progress on the road to 0.3, which will hopefully be the release to which everyone, even the users still using Sunbird 0.2 can safely upgrade.

The following bugs were fixed since the last status update:

  • Bug 307501: Fixes for strict warning (js doesn’t trust us)
  • Bug 320266: Moves javascript bits that don’t implement nsIModule out of components directory

  • Bug 341522: Attendees attribute does not work for proxied items
  • Bug 343836: Day/Week View: All day events shown on wrong day or twice
  • Bug 343968: Events disappeared from unifinder when sort by start date
  • Bug 344442: openWalletPasswordDialog and checkWallet are not used
  • Bug 345444: Includes missing js file in windows builds
  • Bug 344452: Don’t add universal style rules for calendars and categories
  • Bug 344561: Day/Week view: Header boxes are misaligned if scrollbars are shown
  • Bug 344602: Moves Lightning strings to /m/cal/locales
  • Bug 345348: Tasks appear in calendar view when progress is modified
  • Bug 345490: Wires up Page Setup menu
  • Bug 345491: Editing recurring event shows ‘All’ vs. ‘This occurrence’ dialog twice
  • Bug 345593: Can not modify existing event
  • Bug 345606: Print dialog broken [Error: getCompositeCalendar is not defined]

As always a huge thanks goes to all testers, developers, reviewers and everyone who gives us feedback.

  1. Good news chaps :-)
    Having switched from sunbird0.2 to lightning0.1 a few months ago, it’s good to know a bump up is on the way real soon now …

  2. Does bug 344602 mean we can upload the Lightning localization files for other languages into CVS? Will you start notifying (registered) localizers of Sunbird/Ligtning regarding the timeline and tasks for localizations? Thanks.

  3. Any progress on the CalDAV code?

  4. nice to see moving forward. tried the latest nightly lightning build, and it looks promising. keep up the good work!

  6. QUESTION ON INSTALLATION
    I try to install lightning by downloading it with firefox,message appears as follows:
    can’t install lightning,because it’s uncompatible with firefox?!
    isn’t it strange?
    and I can’t download lightning when using IE.
    I would really like to try lightning!!!!!help me!

  7. @VICTOR QI
    Lightning can’t be installed in Firefox.
    Right click the link and save the *.xpi file to your hard disk.
    Open Thunderbird, select Tools -> Extensions and install the downloaded *.xpi file.

Will you start notifying (registered) localizers of Sunbird/Ligtning regarding the timeline and tasks for localizations? What is the deadline if one exists at all for 0.3 localization files? Thanks.

  9. Thanks so much for your work on this. It is a great project. Keep up the good work.

  10. Congratulations guys, we’re getting so close. I’m hoping to see the release by September. That would make my year.

  11. Which is the right way to upgrade from Sunbird 0.2 to 0.3? I tried to install 0.3 but I have several problems opening my previous calendar.
    Thanks
