Thunderbird 137: A Stability-Focused Release
The Mozilla Foundation has launched version 137 of Thunderbird, its open-source email client. This version is dedicated to improving stability and fixing bugs, paving the way for future Pro paid services.
Key Features and Fixes
Thunderbird 137 introduces over 30 fixes, focusing on security, performance, and user experience. Although there are no major new features, visual adjustments and enhanced support on platforms like Windows have been added. Additionally, the system tray icon has been disabled on Linux until its functionality is optimized.
What to Expect from This New Strategy?
Mozilla is considering Pro paid services for Thunderbird, which could represent a shift from the traditionally free model. This would help compete with commercial platforms and offer a more robust communication tool.
Specific Fixes
The version addresses issues such as notifications in high contrast mode, errors in edit menus, and performance improvements when opening .eml files. It also resolves problems in IRC channels, IMAP functions, and OpenPGP key imports.
