Thunderbird in comm-central is now frozen for 3.1b1

Thunderbird is now string and code frozen for 3.1b1. All patches that affect Thunderbird must have explicit approval to land from dmose or myself. The freeze covers all Thunderbird affecting parts of comm-central (i.e. not SeaMonkey, Calendar or test-only files). We're expecting to cut the release and start the builds next Tuesday. Standard8

Thunderbird 3.1b1 testing effort

Hello, The Thunderbird QA team is looking for volunteers that would like to spend some time (from 1/2 hour to 1h) running some regression tests. The idea is to run those test before the release so we can asses if the build is good to be release to a broader public. To participate you don't need to know much about Thunderbird nor computer, you need some time, and accounts https://litmus.mozilla.org and eventually https://bugzilla.mozilla.org . Besides that account you'll need to send me an email with the os you are running, and areas you would be interested in testing. The last po

Is the official Lightning 1.0 aiming at TB 3.1?

I noticed that the last nightly on comm-1.9.1 is from January 31st. Newer nightlys are stored at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.2. Those version's install.rdf, however, state that they're targeted at TB 3.1a1pre-3.1b1pre. Is this an indication that Lightning 1.0 will be released for TB 3.1 and not for TB 3.0.1+?

CalDav Issue

Hello, I am currently in the process of designing my own CalDav server and I am testing it by using Lightning. I am able to initiate request/response conversation, store, delete, and display events. My problem is that when I close and re-open Thunderbird, it re-sets all the events and does not re-display them even though the files exist. I assume this has to do with the initial PROPFIND request. This is what I am sending back: <D:multistatus xmlns:CS="http://calendarserver.org/ns/" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:x ml:ns:caldav" xmlns:D="DAV:"> <D:response> <D:href>http://localh

Building Providers for Tasks?

I recently downloaded the latest release of Lightning with Thunderbird 3, and am really enjoying using it. One thing I'd like is the ability to synchronize tasks with Remember The Milk. It appears there used to be a data provider, but the reviews indicate it's currently broken. Is there any documentation or (more likely?) code in the source tree that demonstrates how to write a provider for task data? Thanks, Nathan

Thunderbird 3.1a1 slipped at least 1 week

[Posted to a variety of places; replies aimed at dev-apps-thunderbird] The astute observer will have noticed that today was the day that we were scheduled to ship 3.1a1. We've decided to slip it until at least next Tuesday, and possibly a little longer. The thinking here was twofold: * There's still a moderate amount of work that remains to be done (triage, QA, release notes, web site...). * a key group of Thunderbird contributors deeply involved in the release process are going to be face-to-face at the MoMo onsite this coming week. This much face-to-face time for this

Hello, Lanikai 3.1a1 build1 is available for testing at <http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/3.1a1-candidates/build1/> in en_US only.

tb 3.1a1 branched; comm-central has been re-opened

[Followups aimed at dev-apps-thunderbird] 3.1a1 has a relbranch and builds are in progress. comm-central has been reopened for checkins. The one slightly unusual thing is that we've temporarily moved the 3.1 branch tinderbox and nightlies to follow 3.1a1 relbranch _instead_ of comm-central + m-c 1.9.2. This means that if you're checking in to comm-central, the main comm-central + mozilla-central trunk tree is the only thing that one can get meaningful data by watching. To keep in mind: the new automated test policy is still in effect. More discussion about the cloning

Lightning 1.0b1 UI issues

Hi, I'm trying to get Sunbird and Lightning to work on my 64bit Linux and basically was following https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Simple_Sunbird_build I fetched the 1.0b1 tag explicitely. As far as I can see Sunbird is working pretty fine besides of the known issues. (Haven't tried that much yet). But when I try the Lightning XPI (which I get in xpi-stage )in Thunderbird 3.0 I get a broken TB top menu. Basically the first three menu dropdowns (File/Edit/...) have no strings but they can be dropped down. But some stuff is missing like the Quit item and probably others. That's th

comm-1.9.1 client.py starting to pull fixed state of extensions as of today!

Hi comm-* devs, I'm about to check in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534422 today, which means that comm-1.9.1 client.py will pull a pretty fixed state of extensions (chatzilla, inspector, venkman) by default. I just created a named branch called COMM_1_9_1_BRANCH based on a COMM_1_9_1_BASE in their Mercurial repositories, and we'll start pulling from that on 1.9.1, as we (at least SeaMonkey, who's packaging and shipping them by default) can't take string changes on a stable branch without breaking localizations. If you still want the trunk of those extensi

Hammering of server from CalDAV calendar

Hi! The admins for my university institution noticed that my Lightning add-on hammered the administrative server until the automatic DoS system kicked in and baned my IP. Of some reason does Lightning try to re-fetch a malformed/unavailable calender several times per second for hours. When I contacted the admins the gave me the following snippet from the logs > access.log.2009-12-01.gz:81.n.n.73 - - [30/Nov/2009:18:36:16 +0100] > "PROPFIND /anstalld/schema/schemaRss.jspa/?schemaID=3346 HTTP/1.1" 501 213 > "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.5) > Gec

A little encouragement would help

Guys, I appreciate the hard work of everyone who's been contributing to Lightning up to now. Thank you so much! Ever since my employer switched from Thunderbird and a standalone calender to Outlook/Zimbra (server) I've been using TB with Lightning. From my own experience I can tell that Lightning/CalDAV/Zimbra has come a long way, but it still has ways to go. To make sure the calendar entries aren't messed up after editing I need to use the Zimbra web client instead of Lightning. I asked myself whether I could help in this area. For quite some time I've been looking for

Lightning to be used in French government for 130.000 users?

Today I read that Thunderbird and Lightning will be used in the French government for about 130.000 users. Maybe this helps to get more attraction and contributors to Lightning (and Sunbird)? Anyone got more information on this topic?

Local caching of network Calendars

But a recent test, when I set all of them to "Cached" and restarted TB a few times it just made all of the entries in each day display the same information as the earliest entry on that day.

We’ve now branched comm-central [1].

If you already have comm-central checked out with mozilla-1.9.1 (the default until now), you will be automatically switched to mozilla-central.

I am keeping it in sync with comm-central (a couple of times a day) until the branch time, and doing it this way allows us to set up the tools we require around comm-1.9.1. You are, however, welcome to pull from comm-1.9.1 to set up your branch repositories (it will correctly default to pulling mozilla-1.9.1). Once we've done the branch officially, I'll be posting aga

Understanding Sunbird/caldav authentication

I am playing around with the Sunbird code and am trying to figure out what makes the authentication dialog to the caldav server appear. I believe the dialog itself is coming from /src/mozilla/embedding/components/windowwatcher/src/nsPrompt.cpp. However, I can't figure out where in the Sunbird JS code the call to display the dialog is originating from. I am looking at the caldav provider. I see lots of calls to the server in the various JS files, but none where it appears authentication is being checked, and if needed, prompted for. Is it happening somewhere under the cover

Selection should be current day for every new session

I can understand that the selected date (the orange background) remains on the selected date when switching views (e.g., Lightning <--> Mail). However, the selection should revert to the current day (aka "today") at least in the following circumstances: (a) The Lightning tab is closed and re-opened (b) Thunderbird is closed and re-opened It's really disorienting and annoying that Lightning keeps the selection across sessions. Example: Someone selects the 28th of September and then turns off Thunderbird. A week later (4th of October), he turns Thunderbird + Lightning

iTunes integration

Hi all, I've just switched from my Mac to a Windows workstation, and I can't synchronize my calendars with my iphone. I've looked into writing an itunes plugin that will do this, and it doesn't look too diffilcult. It seems that no one is actively working on the iTunes integration in bugzilla. From an architectural perspective, I'm assuming the iTunes plugin would interact directly with the SQL Lite DB. Given that iTunes only supports Windows and OS X, I'm assuming there would be no issue with writing the plugin in C# as it allows for rapid development and testing. T

Adding CalDAV functionality to Sunbird
