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.

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. Linux Desktop - AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 455 3.3GHz | 8.0GB RAM | GeForce GT 630
Windows Notebook - AMD A8 7410 2.2GHz | 6.0GB RAM | AMD Radeon R5

Did they release 64.0b3 or are you wasting time using a candidate build that could get replaced by a build2 or more? Linux Desktop - AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 455 3.3GHz | 8.0GB RAM | GeForce GT 630

For a second there, I thought this was about a 64 bit build! Looking for a version 64 in 64 bit. Anyone? viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3042708

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?
