DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
just because it's on this page doesn't mean it's in Thunderbird 7
User Visible Changes to Thunderbird 7
Roland is compiling this page in order to compile a list of what has to be documented for Thunderbird 7
Changes
(numbered for convenience only, not in order)
- The new mail notification system will now ignore folders with the following flags: Drafts, Queue, SentMail, Templates and Junk. This is bug 661239 which I believe will land in TB 7
- TB5 hangs after "Do you wish to compact all local and offline folders to save disc space? - [GS], [also please see the compacthang tag in GS] possibly bug 673904 possibly bug 605511 which has a patch for review
and possible landing in TB6 but more likely in TB7 orwhich has landed in TB 7 and TB 8, POSSIBLE WORKAROUND: compact manually option, reducing the size of folders, for unknown reasons, unchecking "Always ask..." doesn't always work, in this case force it off with the mail.purge.ask pref - full details in comment 18 of the bug
Thunderbird 6 and previous release regressions fixed in TB 7
(not in order, numbered for convenience)
Sort by Receiver or Sender name sorts by email address instead of actual name if showing only display name (Tools|Options|Advanced|Reading & Display "Show only display name for people in my address book" is checked) - UNCONFIRMED REGRESSION [GS1], [GS2], [GS3], I believe this is bug 672022 which hopefully will be fixed in TB7- [LANDED in TB7 and 8]
Sources
(in no order, numbered for convenience only)
- Standard8's Thunderbird bugzilla rapid release tracking page
- Thunderbird/Thunderbird6.0SupportIssuesThunderbird 6 Support Issues
- the above are great for Thunderbird changes, but open question: how do we track gecko changes that surface themselves to the user in Thunderbird?
