Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

The patches I'd been working on landed, which means I was able to make conversation tabs persist across restarting Thunderbird, and remove ~200 lines of redundant code.
Did a round of small fixes, ready to release Thunderbird Conversations 2.0a3 at the same time Thunderbird 3.3a3 is announced.
See http://twitter.com/#!/mozjonathan/ there's a candidate build for a3, give it a try and report any bugs to me.

Compose in a tab

No progress this week, but should release a new version shortly.

Thunderbird Sync

Account Summary

Ubuntu Unity Integration

Unity Launcher extension has hit Labs
Messaging Menu and Unity Launcher extensions will hopefully be in Ubuntu Natty packages this week
Begun work on syncing contacts with Ubuntu One

Trunk (Miramar) Development

Alpha 3 - releasing today or tomorrow.
- First release where we've run unit tests on the release builds on all supported platforms (only two failures, both known intermittent, reported)
Trunk version bumped to 3.3a4pre - the next preview release is expected to be a beta release, but using alpha for now in case we slip in another alpha release.
Branching for mozilla-2.0
