The Mozilla Calendar Project today released the latest versions of their flagship software, Mozilla Sunbird and Lightning 0.3.1. This is a maintenance release containing the recent changes to Daylight Savings Time in various countries around the world, and is recommended for users of all previous Mozilla Calendar software. No additional features were included, although a select number of stability issues were addressed. Work continues on Sunbird and Lightning 0.5, the next planned release.

Download Sunbird and Lightning 0.3.1 from the project’s website.

Mad props go out to the #build team, as they recently moved Sunbird and Lightning trunk Mac builds to a new Xserve. This was the last blocker for building Sunbird as a Universal Binary. As a result, Sunbird nightly Mac builds from December 14th on are Universal Binaries. I’m hoping to make Lightning Universal soon, but extensions are a bit more tricky and will require some additional make(1)-fu.

In other news, I recently added automatic nightly updates to trunk Sunbird nighties. This means that if you download a nightly build with this enabled, each day you will get the option to download and install a new nightly. Any build in December should have this functionality, however Mac users should use a build later than December 14 (see paragrah 1).
We’re using the same code and infrastructure (aus) as Firefox and Thunderbird for this. Yay for code reuse! I’m hoping to get this working on the new Sunbird branch builds soon.
