Following my "Tabs in Thunderbird - Status Update #2" post back in end-June 07, it is to be noted that the tab functionality enabled then was for the trunk builds.

The good news for users of branch builds such as the latest Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 is that Myk Melez has just ported over his tab functionality patch over from the 1.5 builds to 2.0 builds. Builds for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X are available over @ his blog.

Myk adds that "To open a message in a tab, context-click it and select 'Open message in new tab' from the context menu. To make this the default behavior when opening messages, set Preferences > Advanced > General > 'Open new messages in' to 'A new message tab'."

Dropped in favour of 2.0.0.9, in order to synchronize the version numbering with Firefox.

First news trickles out 17 September 2007 8pm PDT, (18 Sep 3am GMT)

Latest off the press is that Thunderbird has undergone a vast overhaul of its internal structure, getting "Dr. David Ascher, currently CTO and VP Engineering of ActiveState", to establish a new company focused on mail.

Mitchell Baker adds that "The goals for the new company are:

• Take care of Thunderbird users
• Move Thunderbird forward to provide better, deeper email solutions
• Create a better user experience for a range of Internet communications
• Spark the types of community involvement and innovation that we've seen around web "browsing" and Firefox. "

Changelog for previous release (Thunderbird 1.5.0.13) | Changelogs for other Thunderbird releases

Released on 19 Dec 07, and this changelog was last updated on 04 Jan 08.

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.14 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 1.5.0.14 over 1.5.0.13. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release. Do check out the known issues as well.

IMPORTANT: The Gecko 1.8.0.x branch (Thunderbird 1.5.0.x series) has been deprecated. It is highly advisable to switch to the 2.0.0.x series to ensure that future security vulnerabilities will be fixed.

Impact key for security issues listed on the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories webpage:

• Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
• High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
• Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
• Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have "High" impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)
