2.0.0.4 when?

Posted May 30th, 2007, 9:04 am

With Fx 2.0.0.4 about ready to walk out the door, and apparently Tb 1.5.0.12 coming out today also, wherefore art thou, Tb 2.0.0.4 ? We have message filtering woes and other little bugs that we'd dearly love to see fixed....

<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/a88c9d576bd25314/5353a959b8445da1#5353a959b8445da1">This thread</a> mentions Fx 2.0.0.4 and Fx + Tb 1.5.0.12, but no Tb 2.0.0.4. Where's the love?

The version number in the 2.x nightly builds used to mention 2.0.0.4pre . It now mentions 2.0.0.5pre but I haven't noticed a official 2.0.0.4 release at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla ... /releases/

2.0.0.4 was tagged when Firefox 2.0.0.4 was tagged. The build team may have cycles to start making a build for us to test next week or the week after. So it'll be a couple weeks at least until we release a 2.0.0.4.

Couple of weeks? :shock:

Does this mean something like July or August? I don't wish to use nightly in work, and I really need one fix.

This scares me. The first time an older Branch (1.5) is more stable and more secure than a newer Branch (2.0).

Scott,

I realize MoFoCo's resources are somewhat limited, but maybe the build team needs a higher prioritization? Going weeks between tagging and release is kinda... wrong, especially when you've got a new .0 release with bugs.

I'm not knocking you at all for having bugs to fix, that's life, or for needing time to get those bugs fixed, again that's life, but weeks between tag and release, that really doesn't seem to be the appropriate place for the bottleneck. The bottleneck should be on fixing the bugs, not on getting stable bits out the door.

Can you tell me which nightly builds (in my case OSX) are the correct 2.0.0.4 vintage?

...and the correct 2.0.0.4 vintage for Windows?

Te most troublesome bug of Thunderbird is MoCo.

How much money is payed for Firefox-developers? How much for TB developers? I don't know, perhaps s.o. can tell us, but IMHO Thunderbird is neglect badly by MoCo.

Thats worrying. A secure and stable mail-client is for me more important than a browser. I have 4 on my comp, but only one mal-client. If a browser fails, I can take another within seconds. If my client fails, i have a problem and must switch to x webmails for a while...

Two examples, that three clients are better than latest released TB 2:

This is the last Apple TB 2.0.0.4 nightly I could find:

And this is the last Windows TB 2.0.0.4 nightly I could find:

Dude, that is just unbelievable! Usually, I don't encourage using nightlies for anything other than testing purposes. Those security bulletins, though, might just get me to go for the last Windows TB 2.0.0.4pre nightly.

Preachin' to the choir, dude.

***UPDATE***

Decided it was better to be safe than sorry. Update to TB 2.0.0.4pre (Win). Anybody that does, though, should know that you'll have to modify the TB Start Page addy from this...
