Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.1 Cancelled

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the be-right-back dept.

geekwithsoul writes "mozillaZine is reporting that the Mozilla Thunderbird 1.01 release is cancelled. While they just released 1.01 of Firefox and intended to release an updated Mozilla Suite and 1.01 version of Thunderbird shortly thereafter, they've decided to address some additional issues and release ver. 1.02 of Firefox and Thunderbird 'soon.' The fixes will also be included in the Mozilla Suite 1.7.6 release. Ah, the joy of awkward numbering conventions!"

    You got the title right, the rest you forgot the second dot '1.0.1' not '1.01'

    "Ah, the joy of awkward numbering conventions!"

    You're telling me! So awkward that apparently the fact that it's 1.0.1 and not 1.01 went completely unnoticed. They are two VERY different numbering conventions.

    For example, 1.10 would indicate the 10th release of version 1, whereas 1.1.0 would indicate the magnitude of the changes in the release, not the number of releases.

    No, you're thinking of TeX, whose version number approaches Pi.

    Mmmmm... pi.

    There is a plugin that will allow for Ogg playback, but there is a second delay everytime you play the ogg file. And you can't edit the tags. After a while I decided it wasn't worth it.

    I'VE not seen a popup since I switched to Firefox.

    Visit my favorite Urban Legends Debunking site http://www.snopes.com/. About a month ago, I noticed that pop ups began reappearing on this site, diminishing the enjoyment I derive from visiting it.

    Firefox team, please wake up and listen! An official method for centralized roll-out on Windows networks is an absolute must if you want to make a dent in IE usage in the business / corporate world.

    Planned for 1.1. Scroll down the article a way and you will see that one of the things planned for 1.1 is an MSI installer so it plays better with corporate deployments.

    No one calls me a liar and gets away with it (unless I'm actually lying -- but that isn't the case here).
    This is a random site off google that succesfully creates pop-ups in FF 1.0.1 http://www.activewin.com/winxp/tips/index.shtml

    And the number of sites is increasing rapidly. Here's a thread oy people that seem to be experiencing the same thig as me. Not FUD my foe, FF is still better than IE, but it's popularity is starting to attract more ad companies to employ new tactics. You just made your way into my foe list... liar... pshh.

      The site http://www.activewin.com/winxp/tips/index.shtml successfully executed a popup on me when I visited, just now. The browser is Mozilla 1.8b using Adblock. I have javascript allowed to raise and lower windows and change images. When I disable those two Java options - no popup. Thank you for the informative and truthful, tip.
