Happy Easter Checking on the in-progress releases page this morning, it appear the Fx 2.0.0.13 security update is still on schedule for release early this week.

Back in October things were looking very gloomy for Thunderbird. It was a bit of a double-whammy when Scott McGregor, Thunderbird lead engineer and David Bienvenu, developer announced they were leaving Mozilla. These announcements came about a month after, then CEO Mitchel Baker announced the split-off to Thunderbird Mail Corporation (MailCo, now known as Mozilla Messaging). Finally, some good news to report about Thunderbird. In his blog entry, Progress Update, David Ascher has announced Mark Banner (Standard8 on IRC) has signed on as a full-time on Thunderbird (effective next month). One of the projects that Mark will finally have time…

I don’t recall off hand where in the Betas I had made the switch to Firefox 2 as my default browser. Since I been hearing how good (and for the most part stable) Firefox 3.0 Betas are now, I am going to make the switch over very soon.

CyberNet News announced earlier Mozilla has released Beta 4 of Firefox 3. I am not all the certain if this is the final version of Beta 4. Normally, Mozilla does not do version releases first thing on Mondays, the release notes still say Release Candidate plus there was a re-spin or two on the Windows builds just on this past Friday. Also on Friday was the Community Test Day where they did use the release candidate for testing. Further Mozilla has a ‘releases’ section designated for ‘Betas’ (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html) and Beta 4 is not listed there. The Weekly Update Meeting is…

Direct calendar integration, instead of the external Sunbird Application or Lighting Extensions seems the big ‘must-have’ feature for TBird 3. Honestly, this is not on the top of my list of features.
