Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7

Goed nieuws uit de hoek van een van de grootste open source verbanden van dit moment: de vrijwilligers van het Mozilla-project hebben een nieuwe versie van de e-mail en nieuwsgroep client Mozilla Thunderbird weten te produceren. Verbeteringen in de release zijn onder andere de kleinere download en de, als we zijn bouwers mogen geloven, flink verbeterde prestaties van de software. Het complete changelog is hier te vinden. De highlights die we daar aantreffen:

• Smaller and Faster
  The Windows Installer is now only a 5.9MB download. Significant performance improvements on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X!
• New Themes and Extension Manager
  Provides a convenient and secure way to manage and update the many add-ons that set Thunderbird apart from other e-mail clients.
• Crash Analysis Tools (Talkback)
  Help us help you! Integration with Mozilla Talkback allows users to submit crash reports which makes it easier for us to find Thunderbird top crashes.
• Other New Features...
  • New user interface for viewing vCards.
  • New Profile Manager which also supports running from a USB device.
  • Color quoting for quoted message parts.
  • Thunderbird now supports a user interface for creating multiple identities per e-mail account. This makes it easy to have several e-mail addresses which end up going into the same account.
• Recently Fixed Bugs
  • Mac OS X fix for Thunderbird hanging when the computer comes out of sleep mode.
  • Mac OS X: When there are no Thunderbird windows open, clicking on the system dock now opens the main mail window.
  • Fix for an occassional hang when reading IMAP mail over SSL.
  • Our LDAP support works against older version 2 LDAP servers again in addition to version 3.
  • Thunderbird can handle mailto urls that contain raw spaces in the subject.
  • Other bug fixes too numerous to mention!
