As of January 31st, our nightly builds will no longer live in the <a href=\"http:\/\/ftp.mozilla.org\/pub\/mozilla.org\/calendar\/lightning\/nightly\/latest-comm-1.9.1\/\">latest-comm-1.9.1<\/a> folder, but in the <a href=\"http:\/\/ftp.mozilla.org\/pub\/mozilla.org\/calendar\/lightning\/nightly\/latest-comm-1.9.2\/\">latest-comm-1.9.2<\/a> directory.<\/p>\n<p>The main difference between the 1.9.1 builds and the 1.9.2 builds is, that the latter will only support nightly builds of the Thunderbird 3.1 and the SeaMonkey 2.1 development branch. This also means that our next Lightning release (1.0 beta2) will not support Thunderbird 3.0.x and SeaMonkey 2.0.x and users of those releases will have to update to be able to get the latest Lightning release then. For now, users that want to test the latest Lightning fixes should either download <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozillamessaging.com\/en-US\/thunderbird\/early_releases\/downloads\/\">Lanikai 3.1 alpha1<\/a> or a recent nightly build of <a href=\"http:\/\/ftp.mozilla.org\/pub\/mozilla.org\/thunderbird\/nightly\/latest-comm-1.9.2\/\">Thunderbird<\/a> (also called Shredder) or <a href=\"http:\/\/ftp.mozilla.org\/pub\/mozilla.org\/seamonkey\/nightly\/latest-comm-central-trunk\/\">SeaMonkey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this decision is (again) one of (developer) resources. Currently the following development areas\/branches are available to us:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/comm-1.9.1\">comm-1.9.1 branch<\/a>, where development for Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0 took place.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-1.9.2\/\">Gecko 1.9.2 branch<\/a> (home of Firefox 3.6) that in combination with the (soon to be created comm-1.9.2 branch) will be the basis for Thunderbird 3.1, which is currently scheduled for a <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Thunderbird:Thunderbird3.1\">release in April 2010<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The so called <a href=\"http:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/comm-central\/\">trunk<\/a>, on which the release after Thunderbird 3.1 will be developed. The SeaMonkey folks are targeting the trunk for their 2.1 release.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With our current resource situation we are not able to fully support all three areas\/branches. We have therefore decided to only fully support the Gecko 1.9.2 branch and give a somewhat limited support to the trunk. Those of you who want to follow our work are encouraged to download the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/thunderbird\/addon\/4623\">Lightning Nightly Updater add-on<\/a>, which should make updating Lightning much easier for you.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for staying with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people have already noticed that we no longer release nightly builds that support Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0.
