A huge ‘Thanks’ goes out to all our developers, contributors, localizers, testers, and supporters, who have done an incredible job in the last two months. Let’s hope that we can keep this up so that we get a great 0.5 release.
Just to make sure I’m not missing all the fun stuff:
I’m using version “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070305 Calendar/0.6a1”. Am I getting all those bug fixes as well, or is there a separate 0.5 branch that I should use instead?
David,
Sunbird 0.5 will come from the Mozilla 1.8 branch, but all fixes that go in are cross-committed to the trunk, so you aren’t missing anything.
The google bug link you mention leads to this description: “Bug 355177 � the resize animation when switching panels in preference dialog on Mac OS X trunk (with cocoa widgets) is not smooth”, which I think isn’t quite you meant. I hope you meant this one: “Bug 335826 � Support for Google Data API” which isn’t marked as blocking 0.5 which I it was.
anyway, keep up the good work,
Dror
Dror,
sorry for the typo. The relevant bug was bug 355117, not bug 355177. I’ve corrected this mistake. Thanks for spotting it.
if i download lastest nightly it says is for “3a1”.
what does it mean? i can’t find any thunderbird with that version.
sorry, i was obviously downoading the wrong file :)
David,
You may want to download the 0.5pre builds rather that 0.6a1. The latter may contain more unexpected bugs due to the work going on for Fx3/Gecko 1.9.
This is why we’re releasing 0.5 from the Gecko 1.8 branch.
Should we expect a linux x86_64 release for the lightning extension? I tried a third party build but had it error me like all the x86 xpi’s do (claiming that it wasn’t built for 64 bits).
Anyway, this is some great work you guys got underway and I’ll be expecting the gCal read/write eagerly as that’s what has been keeping sunbird/lightning out of my life mainly.
