Ab sofort steht das immer noch beliebte E-Mail-Programm Thunderbird in der neuen Version 60.3.1 zur Verfügung. Erst am 1. November 2018 war die Version 60.3.0 erschienen, sodass man fix an einem Update gebastelt hat. Dabei haben die Entwickler zahlreiche Fehler behoben und einige Sicherheitslücken geschlossen.

Das komplette Changelog zu Thunderbird 60.3.1 findet ihr an dieser Stelle. Man fasst dabei die Änderungen wie folgt zusammen:

What’s New FIXED Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes launched the Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties dialog

FIXED Cookie removal (not working since Thunderbird version 52)

FIXED „Download rest of message“ not working if global inbox was used

FIXED Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland) when a file was sent via a folder using „Sent to > Mail recipient“ due to a problem in the Thunderbird MAPI interface

FIXED According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing non-ASCII characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can lead to problems with non-compliant providers, for example office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding again to work around this issue.

FIXED Shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP password Known Issues UNRESOLVED Under some circumstances Thunderbird on Mac will send attachments using the so-called AppleDouble format which can lead to problems with mail servers and recipients

UNRESOLVED CalDav access to some servers not working. Workaround: Set preference network.cookie.same-site.enabled to false.

UNRESOLVED Chat: Twitter not working due to API changes at Twitter.com (solution forthcoming)

Zum Update mit ca. 32 MByte gelangt ihr, wenn ihr in Thunderbird den Bereich „Hilfe“ und dann „Über Thunderbird“ auswählt. Dann sollte die Aktualisierung bei euch automatisch heruntergeladen werden.
