What is Lightning 0.1?

Lightning 0.1 is an embedding of the Mozilla calendar code specifically designed to run inside Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 and later. This release is a preliminary, non-production release designed to showcase the work that's been done and allow contributors to help us test it out.

What can Lightning 0.1 do?

  • Help you keep track of your personal schedule
  • Subscribe to calendars on the Internet (via HTTP/WebDAV)

What important things should I know before trying Lightning 0.1?

  • Modifying ICS calendars or entries created by programs other than Lightning may result in data-loss.
  • Editing calendars from more than one computer at a time may result in data-loss.
  • There is no mechanism for undoing calendar operations.
  • Item recurrence and alarms have not been heavily tested.
  • This is a preliminary release, and despite our best efforts, may have other bugs that can eat your data. Always make regular backups!

What doesn't Lightning 0.1 do yet?

There are a number of parts of Lightning that are not yet complete or still have issues. Important such features include:

  • No real integration between email and calendar functionality exists yet.
  • Printing support is minimal.
  • CalDAV support is extremely basic and is difficult to set up.
  • Offline support only works for local calendars.
  • Syncing with other calendar software (such as handheld PIM devices) is not supported.
