-== Penelope Extension for Thunderbird Alpha 0.1 releases ==
+== Penelope Extension Alpha 0.1 releases ==
-* The Penelope extension works with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 or higher.
+The Penelope extension works with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 or higher.  For more information about Penelope see the [[Penelope]] wiki page.
-* Download Alpha16 [http://www.eudora.com/penelope/penelope-0.1a16.xpi here via http], or [ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/pub/outgoing/penelope/penelope-0.1a16.xpi here via ftp].
+The current version of Penelope is 0.1a22, which can be downloaded from [http://www.eudora.com/download/penelope/penelope-0.1a22.xpi here].  The main thrust of the changes was to make the extension more compatible with Thunderbird 3.0 (trunk) versions.
-Alpha 16 fixes errors on the javascript console and makes the penelope extension compatible with addons.mozilla.org. This and future versions of the extension will be available on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ addons.mozilla.org].
+There are a number of minor changes as well:
+* Auto-compaction was turned on by default, and is set to a threshold of 10 MB.
+* Hitting space to go through unread messages is now fixed.
+* Ctrl/Cmd+M now mapped to Mail Check instead of New Message.
+* Junk, Not Junk, Delete menu items fixed.
+* Junk, Not Junk shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + [Shift] + J) fixed.
+* "Make Address Book Entry" menu item now in correct spot in Tools menu (Mac only).
+* Empty menu items in Tools menu removed.
+* Customize Toolbar dialog fixed under Mac and general UI improvements including moving strings to localizable files.
+&raquo; Note to Firefox users:
+When you click a link to an XPI file, Firefox thinks you are trying to install an extension to Firefox and brings up the install dialog. This is not going to work. Instead, Right-click on the links for the extension and save to disk, then install from within Thunderbird's Tools->Add-ons window.
+&raquo; Note to Safari users:
+When you click on the http link, Safari may try to load the XPI file as plain text. To avoid this, right-click (or control-click) on it and select Download Linked File from the contextual menu.
+=== Previous Versions ===
-* Alpha 21 (released in late August 2007) is integrated into the Eudora beta release, available from the [[Penelope Releases]] page.
+Previous versions of Penelope are available:
+* [http://www.eudora.com/penelope/penelope-0.1a19.xpi 0.1a19]
+* [http://www.eudora.com/penelope/penelope-0.1a16.xpi 0.1a16]: fixes errors on the javascript console and makes the Penelope extension compatible with addons.mozilla.org.
-* Download Alpha19 (released in April 2007) [http://www.eudora.com/penelope/penelope-0.1a19.xpi here via http] or [ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/pub/outgoing/penelope/penelope-0.1a19.xpi here via ftp].
+Penelope is available on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4772 addons.mozilla.org].  However, due to a limitation of AMO in not being able to have both Public and Sandbox versions visible at the same time, only the most stable version will be available there.
-Note to Firefox users:
+=== Eudora ===
-When you click a link to an XPI file, Firefox thinks you are trying to install an extension to Firefox and brings up the install dialog. This is not going to work. Instead, Right-click on the links for the extension and save to disk, then install from within Thunderbird's Tools->Add-ons window.
-Note to Safari users:
+Installers for the new versions of Eudora based on Thunderbird can be found on the [[Penelope Releases]] page.  These installers also include Penelope in them.
-When you click on the http link, Safari may try to load the XPI file as plain text. To avoid this, right-click (or control-click) on it and select Download Linked File from the contextual menu.
