Thanks for the updates. I love being able to get news from your blog before they hit mozillazine :D

What will Thunderbird 1.0.1 contain in the way of features?

pd, nothing in the way of new features. The 1.0.1 releases are for stability and security improvements.

I've forgotten... what is the release date for 1.8b, again?

Since it's a bugfix release can we expect all the bugfixes mentioned in the Burning Edge beeing in it?
I'm specially interested in the fix for bug 245163 (Right-click context menu is cut off/disappearing/offscreen when it contains too many items).

No, you can't expect to see most of the bugfixes from the trunk in Firefox 1.0.1. There were a few low-risk / high-reward fixes, most/all of which are listed at The Burning Edge's unofficial changelist for Firefox 1.0.1.

thanks for information
when do we see a new otions window, + other new features? (FF 1.1)
thank you!

Thank you for the update, Asa. Form my experience testing FF 1.0.1 PR, I firmly believe we'll have a most secure and pretty stable 1.0.1 release. Now, I am going back to all that thrill and emotion of testing the Trunk versions... :)

Congratulations on a great job!

List of all checkins for Firefox 1.0.1 (since 1.0)

Thanks for the updates Asa, especially on the 1.76 status. It is one of the mission critical apps in my organization.

As much as I personally like FF/TB, we're not ready to convert our (longtime Netscape) users over to it (neither are the users - yet). We do feel that FB/TB just isn't quite ready for prime-time, but it also comes down to our standardized setups, desktops, file locations and extensions as well as procedures, internal docs and training.

So we have been standardized on 1.4x for the last year and we will likely keep using 1.7x for the next year. Then it will probably be Seamonkey 2.0 stable, but I'm hoping maybe we can make the transition to FF/TB at that time.

Meawhile we still depend on stable Seamonkey releases and I have to believe the majority of enterprises who have standardized on Mozilla products still do too.
That said, 1.7x has been a bit of a roller coaster so far. I am optimistic about 1.76 based on experience with the nightly builds. I've just been anxious for its final release so I can get it rolled out.

So thanks again for giving me a timeline to work with - over-optimism will be accounted for. - John

What happened to Mozilla 1.8b1?

Has it crashed or are the days now 72 hours long?

JW vanLohuizen, it's low on my priority list so it waits until I have a free minute. I'd hoped to have that free minute Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or today but so far no luck.
