Hey All,
We hit our code and string freeze deadline last week for Thunderbird 2. We are currently in a holding pattern waiting for release cycles to do the heavy lifting for actually tagging, setting up the release machines, making the RC, generating the update diffs, pushing the updates out to the beta channel, dealing with l10n, etc.
I'll keep you posted when that process starts.
In the mean time for everyone interested in the Thunderbird 2 release, we need your help.
Here's what you can do to hep us release Thunderbird 2:
Download and use a nightly Thunderbird 2 branch build. Right now we are at zarro bugs.
* http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... ozilla1.8/
* http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... a1.8-l10n/
Participate in our Thunderbird 2 test days. We had one last Friday and I'll set one up again for this Friday, March 16th. This is a great way for folks who want to see Thunderbird 2 get released soon to help.

Thanks for helping!

What is the difference between the 2 links? What exactly does -|10n refer to?

The second link contains builds in other languages. l10n is short for localization.

Chimmer: l10n refers to localization. The first link contains only builds in (american) english for all three supported operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux). The second link contains all available localized builds for all three supported operating systems.

The developers are concentrating on the critical / blocker bugs for Thunderbird 2. These bugs are important but not at this point in time.
I had several bugs discovered on Testday that didn't get much attention either.

370541 is a regression from 1.5.x and it's very annoying. This one at least should get some attention.

Some of my extensions work in 2.0 beta 2 but they get disabled in the nightly build 2.0pre 20070315. Any reason for this? Thanks.

It's possible the extension is marked as being compatible with Thunderbird 2.0b2 but not for Thunderbird 2.0.

Yep, noticed the same with Firefox, still on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3pre) Gecko/20070315 BonEcho/2.0.0.3pre ID:2007031503 and for TB Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3pre) Gecko/20070315 Thunderbird/2.0pre ID:2007031503. It was this way a couple weekends ago as I recall.

@mscott
I'm being hit by a drag & drop bug on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, seems to be linux (gtk2?) only as drag & drop on OS X works fine. The actual problem is that you can't move messages to other folders on the left.
Are you planning on fixing this one before 2.0 ships? Seems like basic functionality that should work.
To be clear-headed rather than confused; lucid rather than obscure; rational rather than otherwise; and to be neither more, nor less, sure of things than is justifiable by argument or evidence. That is worth trying for.
