A new version of the Mozilla Thunderbird email client is currently processed to be released later today. Thunderbird 3.1.1 fixes several security and stability issues, much like the new Firefox version that was released earlier today.
The new version is currently only available on the official Mozilla release ftp server, with a slim chance of a last minute bug preventing the public release.
The new version of Thunderbird 3.1.1 is as usualyl available in dozens of localized versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

The release notes list stability and security fixes, as well as several fixes to the user interface. No further details are offered on that page.
Bugzilla lists a total of 93 bugs that have been fixed in Thunderbird 3.1.1, among them 12 critically rated bugs and nine moderate ones.
It is likely that the official release notification is posted later today, Thunderbird 3.1 users will then receive automatic update notifications, but only if that feature is enabled in their email client.
Users who can’t or do not want to wait that long can download the latest version of Thunderbird from the Mozilla ftp server.
