A new version of the desktop email client Mozilla Thunderbird has been released, raising the version of the client to 3.1.3. The new release is currently distributed to mirror servers to guarantee a rapid deployment for all users once the update notifications are displayed in the email client and on the official website.
The release has not been officially announced yet, which means that the release notes are not available as well at this point in time. The beta release notes however mention several stability and security fixes in Thunderbird 3.1.3.

This indicates a mandatory for every user of the Thunderbird 3.1 branch. Bugzilla lists 83 bugs that have been fixed in the beta version of the email client, of which 13 have been rated as critical.
On top of the security and stability fixes, several fixes to the user interface have been made. Don’t expect any noticeable changes though, the release’s aim was to fix bugs, not to add or change features in the email client.
Thunderbird users can download the release once it has been officially announced by the development team. The update checker in the client will pick up the new version at about the same time.
Users who do not want to wait that long can download the English version of the email software from Softpedia.
