=== Testing Software Update === | |||
Bonus points for contributors interested in testing software update to upgrade from Beta 2 or RC1 to the RC2 candidate builds for a given locale and platform. | |||
If you want to try this do the following: | |||
* Download [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.5rc1/ RC1] for the right platform AND locale being tested. | |||
* Make sure you aren't running the application. Edit channel-prefs.js which should be located in a location like c:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js. Change the word "release" to "releasetest" to use our test update channel. | |||
* Start Thunderbird and check for updates. We should find a partial update which updates you to Thunderbird RC2. | |||
*Verify that you are now running RC2 by going to Help / About and verify that the date in the dialog says 20051201. | |||
Repeat this same test by downloading [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.5b2/ Beta 2] into a CLEAN location (i.e. remove the previous installation bits) and changing the channel in channel-prefs.js from "beta" to "betatest" | |||
Report your findings in the Discussions link on this page so we know that you tested this. Include the locale and platform you tested. | |||
