Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the calling-it-quits dept.

batb0y writes "The Mozilla Foundation has published its Mozilla Application Suite transition plan, confirming that there will be no official Mozilla 1.8 release. There will be a 1.7.6 release to be maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. All future suite versions from the Foundation will be minor updates only." Don't despair, however, as there is already a community effort underway to continue development.

    There is Firefox 1.0 and the soon to be 1.1 and if Mozilla 1.8 will not be there, theremight be 1.9 or 2.0 since development continues. Right?

  3. I won't believe until Thunderbird can use Moz data by JimMarch(equalccw) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've been utterly unable to import Mozilla Mail data into Thunderbird. Until I can, how in hell am I supposed to transfer away from what they're "killing"?

    I've got mail archives going back to...God, 1999 (originally OE, imported fine into Moz).

    Jesus, this is just dumb.
