== Latest release ==
* Get the current '''release''' of Thunderbird from '''[http://www.thunderbird.net/ thunderbird.net]'''.
* Get the '''beta''' from [https://thunderbird.net/#channel the future of Thunderbird].
== Upcoming releases ==
* Version 78 91 was made available in July 2020August 2021.
* Thunderbird does not release on specific scheduled dates, because we ship when '''code is ready and tested'''. But we roughly <u>track</u> the '''ESR''' release schedule of Firefox. See the ESR column of [[RapidRelease/Calendar]].
** Thunderbird ESR Releases typically happen the same week of the published Firefox dates. But it is sometimes later, because we ship when '''code is ready and tested'''. If you do not see the "newest" version listed at the [https://www.thunderbird.net/ Thunderbird home page], do not worry, the new version is just not yet ready.
** New features and fixes happen as volunteers have time to work on them and fix them - fixes and features generally do not have a schedule which can be communicated to users. If you want new features sooner, then please help us [https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/get-involved/ test and code], or use the beta mentioned above.
