=== Release 0.0 ===
The very first thing to be released ought to be an nearly exact equivalent
to the last commercial release of Eudora.  The only changes should be to
documentation, help screens and so on.  And of course, allowing former
paid mode features to be used for free.    This will allow current
Eudora users to join the new development stream with no disruption.

We expect this release to provide a bare minimum for Eudora users to feel comfortable, so that they can provide feedback and get involved in development.

The initial patch for the Penelope extension (and associated files) was added 11/22/06 to bugzilla: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359231 bug 359231]. This patch provides the familiar key mapping, icons, toolbar layout and  column layout. The patch has been updated numerous times, with the most recent update (alpha 19, updated in May and, as of June 30, 2007 still current) available at [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope_Extensions http://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope_Extensions]. Though visible progress on this release has been slow, the team has been working on underlying improvements and changes to the Thunderbird code to allow for effective future work. Eudora databases will need to be changed to Thunderbird format in this release.
