Daily Build Thread 2019-01-01+ (after Dawn)

[toolong]

On the very first page of this thread there is a reference to a "Thunderbird 63.0beta" and a link to download it.

Would anyone know if "the powers that be" have informed the extension developers, as they did with TBird 60.0, of the coming release and the need to update their extension(s)?

i dont think Extension authors are planning on updating there Extensions till maybe around Daily 66? a lot of code will change between Beta an Daily

I see. That seems a very long delay.

It seems that bug that make the Thunderbird window grow after a progress bar refresh has re-appeared:

The last build that is still working for me is from 2018-11-01.

Do you need Provider for Google Calendar?

It's next to impossible to find and the one I have didn't work in my test of the 64.0b3 release candidate on Windows this morning.

Catching up on my daily routine before I test on Linux.

i haven't actually installed B3 yet , i don't need Provider just Calendar is all i need , prolly better off to ask RSX or wsmwk where you could grad it from,

ok i got 64b3 installed, but i find it opens slow
EDIT : ok i fixed the open slow issue, turned out to be another program that comes bundled with Realtek driver . i had to Disable that Service https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... c81f8928cd

ok i got 64b3 installed, but i find it opens rather slowly compared to 60.x.x which i find it makes Firefox 64 Beta 11 open slow also

Did they release 64.0b3 or are you wasting time using a candidate build that could get replaced by a build2 or more?

For a second there, I thought this was about a 64 bit build!

Looking for a version 64 in 64 bit. Anyone?

Yes they did, go an look in the Beta Link in the Releases link.

For me Thunderbird updated from 60.3.2 to 60.3.3 several days ago. It was a fix for something that I was not affected by. A good thing.

However.

When I examine the next series of "Thunderbird Beta"s, betas become releases after all, I see that they are numbered "64.0b*" and the current one is "64.0b4".

Would anyone know if that is the current release plan? A jump in numbers from "60" to "64"?

If yes - why?

Would anyone know what will be the affect on anyone using existing TBird extensions?
