Este articulo describe los princiales cambios visibles para los usuarios en Thunderbird 60.0. Los detalles completos de todos los cambios que se pueden encontrar en Thunderbird 60 estan en el siguiente link: release notes.

Algunos complementos pueden no funcionar

Debido a los significativos cambios impuestos en thunderbird, la version 60 no cargará automaticamente un complemento a menos a que este haya sido marcado como compatible por el autor. Hasta la fecha, mas de 130 complementos se han hecho compatibles por sus autores y varios son agregados cada semana. Si su complemento no es compatible, por favor comuniquese con el autor por medio de su sitio web de soporte o correo electronico, el cual puedes encontrar en add-ons website.

(La decision para desactivar la compatibilidad automatica no se tomó a la ligera, pero la experiencia de usuario es mejor para usuarios porque se impide que los complementos que no funcionan dañen Thunderbird. Y para ayudar a los autores a actualizar sus complementos, se realizaron mejoras significativas en la planeacion y código de Thunderbird para reducir el impacto de los cambios heredados de Firefox.)

Nueva ubicacion del menú de opciones de complemento

Las opciones para complementos ya no se gestionan desde la pestaña administrador de complementos. Una nueva opcion esta disponible en la opcion "Opciones de Complemento" disponible en el menu de herramientas.

MainMenuBarOptions O si usa el menu de la aplicacion en la barra de herramientas, al pasar el cursor sobre la entrada del complemento o al hacer click > mostrara complementos de una lista seleccionable.

Changes to date time settings

Thunderbird now has an option to specify if date and time formats used in the program should follow the operating system, or the locale of the installed version of Thunderbird. In other words, an US English Thunderbird can use, for example, German formats.

Regional settings

Compose window changes

When writing a message, a delete button now allows the removal of a recipient

When you hover the mouse over the addressing labels (ReplyTo:, To:, CC:, BCC:, Newsgroup:) an X button is now displayed to allow the deletion of that entry.

Demonstration of the delete button

Many improvements to attachments handling during compose

Attachments can now be reordered using a dialog, keyboard shortcuts, or drag and drop. The "Attach" button moved to the right to be above the attachment pane. The access key of the attachment pane (e.g. Alt+M, may vary depending on localization, Ctrl+M on Mac) now also works to show or hide the pane. The attachment pane can also be shown initially when composing a new message. Right-click on the header to enable this option. Hiding a non-empty attachment pane will now show a placeholder paperclip to indicate the presence of attachments and avoid sending them accidentally.

During address entry, the matching part of the address is now shown in bold

To make it clearer why a particular address has been included in the auto fill list, the portion of the address that matches the typed text is now shown in bold. Setting preference mail.autoComplete.commentColumn to 1 allows displaying the address book where the address is stored.

Address Book

It is now possible to set a default Address Book which will be selected upon opening the address books. To set the default, right click a folder and select the set as default entry from the menu displayed.

Static themes

Static themes using WebExtensions API technology are now supported [1]. These are comparable to lightweight themes. Full themes and lightweight themes are still supported. (Add-ons based on WebExtensions browser extension APIs and mail-specific APIs is planned for a future point release of Thunderbird 60.)

Calendar

Provide an option to display locations for events

Calendar events will now show a location as well as the event name. Calendar:Location Display

The option that controls this is located in the Calendar > Views tab Location of Display location option

Copying, cutting an pasting of recurring events and tasks

Like before for deleting or modifying, new there is a prompt to select whether to apply copying or cutting just to the selected occurrence, or the entire series of a recurring event or task.

If more then one local calendar or calendar subscriptions are available, the target calendar for pasting of calendar items can now be directly selected from a list of all writable calendars.

Provide the ability for sending/not sending meeting notifications directly

When dealing with meetings, there is - except of drag and drop operations - no longer a popup asking whether to notify the other participants about your changes. Instead, this is controlled within the respective dialogs or context menus directly.

Along with this change, support for creating email invitations compatible with Outlook 2002 has been removed.

Allow to enforce the use of email invitation for meeting for users of CalDAV calendars

Some CalDAV servers are configured to take care of inviting other users on the same calendar server when setting up a meeting. This would prevent sending email invitations to other participants from Thunderbird when setting up a meeting. For those calendars, the use of email invitations can be enforced now regardless of the server configuration.

Reminders can be dismissed even for read-only calendar

If a reminder for an event or task stored in a read-only calendar pops up, it can be dismissed now. Unlike for writable calendars, snoozing of reminders is still not possible for those calendar items.

Lightning Reminder Dialog RO

Along with that change, the scope of the option to show missed reminders was limited to writable calendars.

Maildir Experimental feature

Conversion of folders from mbox to maildir format and vice versa

In keeping with the long term goal of implementing a maildir like storage system in Thunderbird, tools to convert existing folders to and from the maildir format are included in this release. More information on the maildir implementation in general can be found here. Everyone using maildir needs to be aware that it is still experimental and use may reveal further unknown bugs that result in dataloss.

End of support for Windows XP and Vista

Consistent with the withdrawal of support for Windows XP and Vista for Firefox 60, Thunderbird no longer supports these two legacy operating systems. Thunderbird 52 is the last version of Thunderbird available for those two operating systems.
