New Thunderbird Releases and New Thunderbird Staff

The Mozilla Thunderbird Blog looksat recent releases of the Thunderbird email client, including a fifthpoint release for version 52 ESR and 58 beta. "Thunderbird 57 betawas also very successful. While Thunderbird 58 is equally stable and offersfurther cutting-edge improvements to Thunderbird users, the user communityis starting to feel the impact of Mozilla platform changes which arephasing out so-called legacy add-ons. The Thunderbird technical leadershipis working closely with add-on authors who face the challenge of updatingtheir add-ons to work with the Mozilla interface changes. With a fewusually simple changes most add-ons can be made to work in Thunderbird 58beta. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57explains what needs to be done, and Thunderbird developers are happy tolend a hand to add-on authors." The project has also added four newstaff members.
