[January 28, 2009] Lightning/Sunbird Status Update

We’re hard at work to fix many bugs in anticipation of our next release, so it’s no wonder that 43 bugs were fixed within the last 16 days by our developers.

Of particular importance are 2 bugfixes, which have bothered our users for quite some time:

  • Bug 266249: Can’t re-order or sort Calendars list
    This a long-standing request by our users that dates back to the old days of the Calendar extension for the Mozilla Suite. Philipp and Daniel finally made a fix possible. Thanks guys!
  • Bug 460988: OS settings for time format (12H/24H) and date format not respected
    Due to a backend change in Mozilla Core code, we were no longer using the date and time formats of the underlying operating system for a few months. This backend change was reversed last week, so things should again be as they should be.

  1. “Can’t re-order or sort Calendars list”…. sweet fix!

  2. Keep up the good work.
    (hey CJ, you’ve the same initials as I)

  3. Another good news. The much awaited feature, “support multiple alarms per events/task, support absolute alarms with fixed date/time” (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353492) has just been checked in. This gives the alarms the ability to notify via. e-mail.
