Kind of copied wholesale from TBE but that's what its all about. Let me know if there are any issues. This applies from the previous post onwards.

I now wrap Rumbling Edge posts in <div class="rumblingedge"> to make it safer to select on Rumbling Edge classes in RSS aggregator pages. I also added classes for builds on each OS, so people with personal Planets and similar aggregators can hide information about builds for platforms they don't use.

Sample CSS files for aggregators: make fix/regression lists look like they do on The Rumbling Edge, hide non-Windows builds, hide non-Mac builds, hide non-Linux builds.

Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 has just been released! This latest milestone adds a frequently requested feature: support for filtering all POP mail into a Global Inbox under Local Folders. In addition, this release sees the debut of Thunderbird's support for RSS and Atom feeds...

Shifting focus to the Aviary 1.0 branch as of this post. The bug list has been tidied up in preparation for the 0.8 release of Thunderbird. (Draft Release Notes, post your feedback)
Bugs targeted for 0.8 are here.
- Those no longer listed above may still be present as a regression, but may no longer be in development.
- These currently listed above may be blocking Aviary 1.0 (or its sub-branches), or are blocker bugs.

CSS style sheets will be implemented... EDIT: Done!

Important note from Scott MacGregor over at Mozillazine Forums which applies as of this build:
"The version string has been bumped to 0.8 to help test out the new extension manager changes. Any extensions that aren't listed on update.mozilla.org as being compatible with 0.8 will get disabled upon first launch."

I've validated my site over at http://validator.w3.org/

The site has 197 errors. There will be many changes to correct this soon. :|

- EDIT -
All errors have been eliminated in the main page, after I reorganised the blog. The archives and comments pages might not be compliant though. Still, the main page is still the priority, and there has been plenty of changes both visibly and in the code.

In addition, I have also disabled all my posts' Trackback pings' acceptance after I discovered that some spam-bots were spamming the posts with undesirable sites.

Any thoughts on the changes so far? Suggestions are welcome in the comments section.
