Welcome to my first post. I intend this blog to mostly about what’s going in Thunderbird, with occasional other stuff thrown in. Thanks to the folks who’ve been pestering me to blog for a year or so.
Now that 2.0 is released, we’re working on cleaning up a lot of things on the trunk that we couldn’t change in 2.0, because of our semi-frozen interfaces. This wiki page describes the work we’re doing: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Architecture_Cleanup
I’ve spent the past few weeks getting rid of the remaining instances of nsFileSpec on the trunk. That’s finally done, except for fixing whatever regressed. Thx to the brave trunk users who filed bugs, and special thx to Mark Banner for his helping debugging the linux-specific ones.
I’m also working on getting Spotlight integration and OSX Addressbook integration working on the trunk.
An other area of focus is fixing regressions in 2.0 that we want to fix before we offer 2.0 as a major upgrade from 1.5.0.x. The tracking bug is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378635 – if you know of any regressions in 2.0 that you think we should fix before offering 2.0.0.x as a major upgrade, please let me or mscott know.
That’s enough for now. I’ll try to do this once a week or so.
