just because it's on this page doesn't mean it's in Thunderbird 8

User Visible Changes to Thunderbird 8

Roland is compiling this page in order to compile a list of what has to be documented for Thunderbird 8

Changes

(numbered for convenience only, not in order)

  1. Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F conflict and cmd_find ambiguity, used for both Find in This Message and Quick Filter - [bug 564328] - new shortcuts are: Find in Message - CTRL + F, Search Messages window - CTRL + SHIFT + F, Find Next - CTRL + G, Find Previous - GTRL + SHIFT + G, Global search - CTRL + K, Quick Filter Bar - CTRL + SHIFT + K (unused prior to TB8)
  2. imap messages keep getting redownloaded if they incorrectly start with From instead of a : header bug 663671 - might land in TB 7 as well
  3. the widget for switching folder pane views is heavy and ugly and confusing to users[bug 667245] - July 28, 2011, patch checked in awaits TB8 landing
  4. Autoconfig wizard: Fix styling and order of buttons on Windows - [bug 667252] should land in TB 8
  5. New Account Wizard bad-input warnings are unreadable (gray-on-black) in Ubuntu 11.04 (e.g. "Please enter your name", "Double check this email address", "Username or password invalid") - [bug 671094] - should land in TB8 and possibly TB7 or 6

Thunderbird 7 and previous release regressions fixed in TB 8

  1. Cannot select address book if quick search widget is removed from toolbar - Error: gSearchInput is null ... abCommon.js Line: 588 - bug 532505 - landed in TB8, didn't make TB7
  2. #Cannot see some attachments - This is a known problem with some malformed messages. The difference between 3.1.x and 5.0 in handling multipart/related attachments is that the old versions listed any content it cannot display inline in the attachment list. This is no longer the case in 5.0 and such attachments are silently dropped. GS, [bug 602718],[bug 674473], fixed in TB8 - this bug has UI implications and hidden prefs which Jonathan Kamens has already documented in SuMoMo for TB8, thanks Jonathan Kamens!

  2. the above are great for Thunderbird changes, but open question: how do we track gecko changes that surface themselves to the user in Thunderbird?
