Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:22:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 Released http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/30/mozilla-thunderbird-20019-released/ http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/30/mozilla-thunderbird-20019-released/#comments Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:00:18 +0000 Martin http://www.ghacks.net/?p=9448 A new version of the popular email client Thunderbird is currently distributed to official mirror website which means it is usually only a matter of 12-24 hours before the announcement of the new release is published on the Thunderbird homepage. It takes another 12-24 hours before the build in update checker will notify the user about the available update of the email client. Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 is already available for download on the primary ftp server ftp.mozilla.org.

Downloads are provided for all supported operating systems and languages and it is only a matter of finding the right location. This can be confusing, here are a few direct links:

Windows US Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.19
Linux US Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.19
Mac US Mozilla Thundebird 2.0.0.19

And the links to the folders that contain all language versions:

Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 Windows
Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 Linux
Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 Mac

The new version can be installed as usual. There are no release notes yet, they will most likely be published later today on the Mozilla Thunderbird website.

Update:

Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 fixes seven security vulnerabilities.

The only way to download the new version right now is to download the Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 release from the Mozilla ftp site.

The release is already available for all supported languages and operating systems. Neither the Check For Updates nor the official website reveal that a new version is about to be released.

This includes the release notes which still show the information about Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.17. The release notes usually get updated almost simultaneously with the updates going live.

First the Firefox update to version 2.0.0.5, then Opera with its new version 9.22 of the Opera browser and now Thunderbird with another update to 2.0.0.5. I’m updating my software all day if the trend continues. The release is already available on the website and through the “check for updates” dialog in Thunderbird. I was not reminded however that there was a new version of Thunderbird available during program start.

There has been only two security fixes in this version of Thunderbird but 21 bug fixes which should get rid of some bugs that caused headaches for some users of Thunderbird. The rumbling edge website has a detailed list of all the fixes of this version with links pointing to explanations if needed. The security fixes have been the following:

Fixed: MFSA 2007-18 – Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (Critical)
Fixed: MFSA 2007-23 – Remote code execution by launching Firefox from Internet Explorer (Critical)
