Lanikai Alpha 1

Thanks to hard work by a whole bunch of folks, we shipped Lanikai Alpha 1 (the first development release of Thunderbird after 3.0) yesterday. More details about Lanikai can be found on the project page.

This release is a first in several notable ways:

* we're now requiring automated tests to land with most code changes
* the release cycle was much shorter than any development release in recent memory
* we're now having to do development and releases across both a development and a stability branch.

We've already learned a bunch of stuff from all the changes, and I expect that learning to continue for a little while before we're fully in a groove.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of making the release happen!
