As discussed with the Thunderbird Drivers, Lightning needs to return to non-beta version numbers as fast as possible. I will be attempting to release Lightning 1.0 together with Thunderbird 7, so on September 27th.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this goal, I have further condensed the buglist to a very small number. Despite exams I&#8217;m going to try to fix these bugs in the next weeks, so we can broaden testing to make 1.0 as good as possible.
