Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

• Investigations on trunk related to gloda indexing being messed-up. This is the last bug in a series of bugs related to making sure we index sent messages immediately, which will greatly enhance the responsiveness for Thunderbird Conversations. Bienvenu and :asuth did a lot of work.
• Bugfixes on the Conversations side, I'll release a b1 version that matches the next version of Miramar.
• Hoping to catch up with :mrbkap in Paris to hunt bugs down in the JS engine.
