Changelog for previous release (Sunbird 0.7) | Changelogs for other Sunbird releases

Released on 04 Apr 08, and this changelog was last updated on 21 Apr 08.

Sunbird 0.8 has been released. Release notes are available (Sunbird / Lightning). This post lists the improvements in Sunbird 0.8 over 0.7. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release. Do check out the known issues (Sunbird / Lightning) as well.

Both Sunbird and Lightning are in development stage, so their functionalities might change and bugs may be present. The builds are recommended for developers. Lightning 0.8 will not work on Thunderbird 1.5.0.x; please first upgrade to Thunderbird 2.0.0.x or use Lightning 0.7 instead.

Please remember to install updated timezones for Windows beforehand. Information on obtaining the updated timezones can be found in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 931836.

Folks using early 0.8pre nightlies should backup their local calendars. There is a high probability that the local calendars will break, so delete them and reimport to resolve the issue.
