Bug Queries

We should try to do regular preview releases from now until final, any suitable target for Alpha 2?

• bug 428216 (toolbarbutton iconsize/mode control) should be able to make Alpha2. Customizable Toolbars for Navigator and Messenger might make it depending on target date. Ratty
• What can we backport from Thunderbird 3.0a3? Changelog Shredder Alpha1, Changelog for Shredder Alpha2. Suggestions (Ratty):
  • bug 251296 Implement "favorite/favourite" folders.
  • bug 369283 Thunderbird should support the Vista Search.

open wanted wanted requests

Major wanted/needed features:

• bug 381157 Download manager.
  • Status/progress?

  • Standard8 blocked by LDAP shutdown issues, starting to look at them in more detail.
• bug 382187 Places history.
  • KaiRo has done a first UI patch that makes sidebar panel and history window work.
  • Not 100% the same as old versions, but quite near to them, want to get this in, we can improve it based on this.
• bug 36810 Session restore.
  • Status/progress?
• bug 394288 / bug 413385 Toolbar customization.
  • Dependent bugs: bug 428216 (toolbarbutton iconsize/mode control) almost there, just a few remaining nits (I hope). Toolkit bug 407725 If this patch isn't accepted we would probably have to fork the toolkit toolbar customization code.
  • Status - After this all that is left is to turn on toolbar customization.
• bug 456757 Modern theme update.
  • Status/progress: Kuden has more time this month and should have completed mozapps by the end of October. Ratty is trying to get some visible interim results into bugzilla in the meantime.
