Thunderbird Development

Feature Work

3.2

  • Initial tb-planning thread, quick summary:
    • 3.2 based off a comm-1.9.2 with mozilla-1.9.2 with limited back-ported features and fixes.
    • Would allow some API changes (many for extensions benefit) and string changes.
    • Next trunk release would be after FF 4 ships, possibly as little as one month, depending on what state our trunk is in, features landed etc.

Roundtable Highlights

  • Trunk maintenance
    • Getting too difficult/lots of maintenance to keep open - too much non-libxul build bustages
    • Proposed route for trunk:
      1. Go for the libxul option 2 asap.
        • We know we're going to libxul
        • It will fix the current bustage, and protect us from any more non-libxul versus libxul
        • Support shared builds as a lower priority option - developers can back up to a working version, but tree can remain open.
      2. Let the work that is being done on external API finish
        • because I can see devs, and maybe linux distros, wanting this.
      3. Do some performances tests of internal & external APIs.
      4. Make decision on which to ship with Thunderbird trunk.
