New in Thunderbird Supernova 115.0 (Jul 12, 2023)
- New Unified Toolbar:
- There is now a single “Unified Toolbar” on top of the Tabs Bar, which is fully screenreader and keyboard accessible. This toolbar is used for all “Spaces”, which are Mail, Address Book, Calendar, Tasks, Chat and Settings. The toolbar is customizable by right clicking (control click on macOS) > Customize....
- Customize... offers a common set of buttons available for all “Spaces”, which correspond to the Spaces Toolbar Introduced in 102. Also available are Spaces-specific buttons for each Space.
- Full keyboard navigation includes Tab and arrow keys to navigate, Enter to add a button to the toolbar, Delete to remove it, and Alt with arrow keys to move buttons around on the toolbar, in addition to mouse actions such as drag and drop.
- Please refer to Unified Toolbar for more details on the Unified Toolbar and customizations.
- We are working on improving the other toolbars (e.g. composer, message window, event editor, etc.) for a future release.
- Simplified Application Menu:
- The Application Menu (also known as appmenu or “Thunderbird Menu”), ≡, has been simplified and reduced to make it easier to navigate. Only global context items are listed, which do not need to be updated or changed based on which Thunderbird “Space” you are using. There are now at most two layers of submenus so you no longer need to dig around in multiple sublevels to find what you need.
- Of course, you can still find other menu items in the Thunderbird menu bar by pressing the ALT key on Windows and Linux (and in the macOS Thunderbird menu bar).
- Improved Message List:
- The message list now uses modern HTML technology which is faster and has a whole host of behind the scenes improvements to make improving it in the future much easier.
- A new Message List Header shows the current folder name, number of messages, Quick Filter, and new “Message list display options” icon, [Image:tb115-display-options-icon-offical-from-micah]] .
- The Vertical View Layout now defaults to a new two line “Card View” which is more compact and better suited to the Vertical Layout. With the customization options, you can change the Vertical View back to the version 102 “Table View”.
- Calendar Improvements:
- To summarize, there is an improved “mini-month” layout, a Unified Toolbar for the Calendar “Space” on top of the tabs, improvements to the day/week/month grid, and some other minor changes.
- Look and Feel Improvements: New Message Button, Get messages, Folder pane options meatball menu
- All the buttons in the Folder Pane and Unified Toolbars have been revamped using modern CSS and HTML Technology. The buttons are now more accessible and customizable.
- Many menus and buttons have been moved and changed to be closer to where they are more relevant in the context of Thunderbird. One example is the new Folder Modes sub menu which is documented below.
- Miscellaneous but important improvements:
- There is a new + New Message button to compose a new email, chat message, etc. that replaces the old Write button.
- There is a new "Get messages" icon to the left of + New Message. This new icon replaces the old Get Messages button.
- There is a new Folder pane options menu also known as a "meatball" or "three horizontal dots" menu, ⋯, to the right of + New Message. This menu has options to show the Total message count, Folder Size and hide the "Get Messages" and "New Message" icons as well as hide the Local Folders and Folder Pane Header. It also has a Folder Modes sub menu. This sub menu replaces the 102 ⋯ menu at the top of the "Folder Pane" toolbar.
- Other Look and Feel Improvements:
- In the Mail Space, the "Quick Filter" icon that toggles between hiding or showing the Quick Filter Toolbar' is always visible (in prior versions it became invisible when you removed it via customization).
- There is a new tabular view in Address Book.
- "Touch” has been removed from ≡ > Density. It’s now Compact, Default and Relaxed, before 115, it was Compact, Normal, Touch.
- A new Card View for messages can be turned on by clicking the new "Message list display options" icon (which is on the right of the "Quick Filter" icon): tb115-display-options-icon-offical-from-micah > Cards View . Please see: Getting Started with the Thunderbird main window (Supernova and newer).

- 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.

- Allow changing the Spellcheck Language from status bar
- Light and Dark themes
- WebExtension themes are now enabled in Thunderbird
- A default startup directory in the address book window can now be configured

In other words, an US English Thunderbird can use, for example, German formats.
- OAuth2 authentication for Yahoo and AOL
- FIDO U2F support
- Thunderbird now allows the conversion of folders from mbox to maildir format and vice versa. This is an experimental feature that needs to be enabled by setting the preference mail.store_conversion_enabled.

- Add-on options can no longer be configured from the Add-on Manager page. A new menu item "Add-on Options" is now available on the Tools menu.
- When messages are composed in paragraph format, "body text" and split mail quotes are converted to paragraphs when pressing the enter key
- "Edit As New Message" will now use the account's default compose format, either HTML or plain text ignoring the format of the message. Plain text messages will be converted to HTML and vice versa. Then using the modifier, the format choice will be reverted.
- The "Edit Draft" command now also honors the use of the shift key to convert HTML to plain text or vice versa when editing a draft
- The plain text to HTML conversion has been improved where such a conversion is necessary for "Edit As New Message" or when the shift modifier is used for "Edit Draft" or "New Message from Template".
- During address entry, the matching part of the address is now shown in bold. Preference mail.autoComplete.commentColumn allows to display the address book where the address is stored.

- On first start, Thunderbird now shows the account setup dialog, no longer the account provisioner dialog
- Thunderbird follows Firefox' Photon design with rectangular tabs and many other theme improvements

- Thunderbird now uses Mozilla's latest proxy technology (add-on FoxyProxy now supported)

- Thunderbird Chat: Nicknames inside of messages are colored to match the participants list
- Fixed:
- When many Thunderbird clients or other email clients accessed the same IMAP draft folder, messages were sometimes sent with the wrong identity. This has been corrected and the user will be notified if none of their identities matches the draft.
- Various problems related to handling the IMAP trash folder: Under certain circumstances the selection of the trash folder didn't persist, for example when the name contained non-ASCII characters, or in localized versions of Thunderbird. At times unwanted additional trash folders were created. Selection of a trash folder didn't give immediate visual feedback.
- Shared IMAP folders not shown in subscribe dialog under some circumstances
- Messages moved between IMAP accounts were missing parts (embedded content or attachments) under some circumstances
- Improvements encoding/decoding message headers
- Text in the address book card view wasn't selectable

- CalDav access to some servers not working. Workaround: Set preference network.cookie.same-site.enabled to false.
New in Thunderbird Supernova 60.0 (Aug 6, 2018)
- New:
- When writing a message, a delete button now allows the removal of a recipient. This delete button is displayed when hovering the To/Cc/Bcc selector.
- 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 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.
- "Edit Template" command. This also solves various problems when saving as template (duplicates created, message ID lost).
- " Message from Template" command
- Allow changing the Spellcheck Language from status bar
- Light and Dark themes
- WebExtension themes are now enabled in Thunderbird
- A default startup directory in the address book window can now be configured
- Individual feed update interval
- An option under "Tools > Options, Advanced, General" now allows to select whether date/time display will follow the application locale (adjusted by operating system's format settings for that locale) or the locale selected in the operating system's regional settings. In other words, an US English Thunderbird can use, for example, German formats.
- OAuth2 authentication for Yahoo and AOL
- FIDO U2F support
- Thunderbird now allows the conversion of folders from mbox to maildir format and vice versa. This is an experimental feature that needs to be enabled by setting the preference mail.store_conversion_enabled. Note that this functionality does not not work if the option "Allow Windows Search/Spotlight to search messages" is selected.
- Calendar: Allow copying, cutting or deleting of a selected occurrence or the entire series for recurring events
- Calendar: Provide an option to display locations for events in calendar day and week views
- Calendar: Provide the ability for sending/not sending meeting notifications directly instead of showing a popup
- Calendar: Option to select the target calendar when pasting an event or task
- Calendar: Allow email scheduling for CalDAV servers supporting server-side scheduling
- Thunderbird Chat now contains multiple built-in message themes
- Changed:
- IMPORTANT: Add-ons not marked as compatible with Thunderbird 60 by their authors will be disabled (this can be reverted via preference extensions.strictCompatibility)
- IMAP: When after sending a message storing that sent message fails, the message can now be stored in a local folder
- Add-on options can no longer be configured from the Add-on Manager page. A new menu item "Add-on Options" is now available on the Tools menu.
- When messages are composed in paragraph format, "body text" and split mail quotes are converted to paragraphs when pressing the enter key
- "Edit As New Message" will now use the account's default compose format, either HTML or plain text ignoring the format of the message. Plain text messages will be converted to HTML and vice versa. Then using the modifier, the format choice will be reverted.
- The "Edit Draft" command now also honors the use of the shift key to convert HTML to plain text or vice versa when editing a draft
- The plain text to HTML conversion has been improved where such a conversion is necessary for "Edit As New Message" or when the shift modifier is used for "Edit Draft" or "New Message from Template".
- During address entry, the matching part of the address is now shown in bold. Preference mail.autoComplete.commentColumn allows to display the address book where the address is stored.
- When attaching a message via drag and drop, the subject of the message is now used as attachment name instead of "Attached Message"
- Better address book photo handling: Photos can be added by drag and drop and a copy of all photos will be stored in the Thunderbird profile
- On first start, Thunderbird now shows the account setup dialog, no longer the account provisioner dialog
- Thunderbird follows Firefox' Photon design with rectangular tabs and many other theme improvements
- When customizing the From: address, Thunderbird will now use this address for the SMTP "MAIL FROM" command. Previously the address configured in the identity was used. The preference mail.smtp.useSenderForSmtpMailFrom allows return to the previous behavior.
- Native notifications on Linux are now re-enabled
- Thunderbird now uses Mozilla's latest proxy technology (add-on FoxyProxy now supported)
- Thunderbird now uses the latest Rust-based Mozilla technology, including Quantum's CSS engine (based on Servo) and encoding_rs, for displaying and encoding messages
- Calendar: Removal of capability to send email invitations compatible to Outlook 2002 and earlier
- Calendar: Reminders on read-only calendars can now be dismissed, while reminders for missed events will now only be displayed for writable calendars if option "Show missed reminders for writable calendars" is selected
- Thunderbird Chat: Nicknames inside of messages are colored to match the participants list
- Fixed:
- When many Thunderbird clients or other email clients accessed the same IMAP draft folder, messages were sometimes sent with the wrong identity. This has been corrected and the user will be notified if none of their identities matches the draft.
- Various problems related to handling the IMAP trash folder: Under certain circumstances the selection of the trash folder didn't persist, for example when the name contained non-ASCII characters, or in localized versions of Thunderbird. At times unwanted additional trash folders were created. Selection of a trash folder didn't give immediate visual feedback.
- Shared IMAP folders not shown in subscribe dialog under some circumstances
- Messages moved between IMAP accounts were missing parts (embedded content or attachments) under some circumstances
- Improvements encoding/decoding message headers
- Text in the address book card view wasn't selectable
- Passwords can now contain non-ASCII characters, like international characters, for example áäß, and symbols, for example €§
- Outlook import. Note: Mail, address book and settings need to be imported individually as "Import Everything" currently does not work.
- Localised versions of Thunderbird didn't show a localised name for Hotmail's "Deleted" folder
- Contacts sidebar: Selection and context menu behavior
- Better error handling for Gmail authentication to avoid re-downloading of folders
- Thunderbird used a stale cached password after user edited a saved password
- Calendar: Wrong time formatting for some time zones
- Calendar: Can't copy information from event dialog for received invitations
New in Thunderbird Supernova 60.0b10 Beta (Jul 16, 2018)
- NEW:
- When writing a message, a delete button now allows the removal of a recipient. This delete button is displayed when hovering the To/Cc/Bcc selector.
- Further improvements to attachments handling during compose: "Attach" button moved to the right to be above the attachment pane. Alt+M now allows to show the attachment pane. The attachment pane can also be shown initially when composing a new message. Right-click on the header to enable this option. It is now also impossible to completely collapse a non-empty attachment pane. That protects against attachments accidentally being sent.
- Thunderbird now allows the conversion of folders from mbox to maildir format and vice versa. This is an experimental feature that needs to be enabled by setting the preference mail.store_conversion_enabled. Note that this functionality does not not work if the option "Allow Windows Search/Spotlight to search messages" is selected.

- Changed:
- IMPORTANT: Add-ons not marked as compatible with Thunderbird 60 by their authors will be disabled (this can be reverted via preference extensions.strictCompatibility)

- Better address book photo handling: Photos can be added by drag and drop and a copy of all photos will be stored in the Thunderbird profile
- Native notifications on Linux are now re-enabled
- During address entry, the matching part of the address is now shown in bold. Preference mail.autoComplete.commentColumn allows to display the address book where the address is stored.
- Calendar: Removal of capability to send email invitations compatible to Outlook 2002 and earlier
- Fixed:
- Various problems when forwarding messages inline: Some introduced in Thunderbird 60 beta 7, some dating back to 2005 when using "simple" HTML view.
- The IMAP and News subscribe dialog did not present a folder tree (not working since Thunderbird version 59)
- Messages moved between IMAP accounts were missing parts (embedded content or attachments) under some circumstances
- Better error handling for Gmail authentication to avoid re-downloading of folders
- Text in the address book card view wasn't selectable
- UTF-7 support (not working since Thunderbird version 56)
- Complete fix of the EFAIL vulnerability: 1) Removing some HTML crafted to carry out an attack. 2) Not decrypting subordinate message parts that otherwise might reveal decrypted content to the attacker. Preference mailnews.p7m_subparts_external controls this.
- Thunderbird used a stale cached password after user edited a saved password
- The new menu item "Add-on Options" introduced in Thunderbird 59 beta is now also working on Mac
- Source view not working for JS, XML, CSS, etc. source files via 'Developer Tools > Error Console'. Other options: 1) Set preference view_source.editor.external and view_source.editor.path to view the source in the editor of your choice. 2) Use 'Developer Tools > Developer Toolbox, Console'. (not working in earlier versions of Thunderbird 60 beta)
- Deleting or detaching attachments corrupted messages under certain circumstances (not working in earlier versions of Thunderbird 60 beta)
- Calendar: Google account credentials not retained by Lightning
- Known issues (unresolved):
- Provider for Google Calendar not available
- CalDav access to some servers not working. Workaround: Set preference network.cookie.same-site.enabled to false.

- Bug 1140152 - Copy elements' underlying bit patterns in TypedArray.prototype.slice.
- Bug 1453033 - Define taskgraph logic for signing and shipping devedition language packs as well. This merely extends the logic involved in shipping language packs to AMO. All devedition language packs will be shipped as 'unlisted' for now, meaning that there is no extra AMO work involved. The extension ID is taken from the langpack itself.
- Bug 1453033 - Do not define shipping-product explicitly, let it be inhereted.
- Bug 1457048 - Ensure origins with autoplay-media exact permission can autoplay. Sites which are whitelisted should be allowed to autoplay audible media. So check whether a HTMLMediaElement's owner doc's principal has an exact "autoplay-media" permission. This ensures whitelisted origins can autoplay, but sub-origins of whitelisted origins need their own permission.
- Bug 1457048 - Test that whitelisted origins are able to autoplay.
- Bug 1458063 - Introduce a new wheel action for pinch-zooming.
- Bug 1458063 - Support constructing a PinchGestureInput with a focus point in Screen coordinates.

- Bug 1294605 - Notify MediaStreamTrackSource when ReadyState is overriden.
- Bug 1312958 - Part 2: Only delete the trackinfo object once the decoder has been shutdown.
- While it's unlikely to have been a problem as the decoder would have been idled at this stage. During the time the TrackInfo was reset and the decoder actually be shut down, the reference to the object would have been invalid causing a potential UAF.
- Bug 1312958 - Part 1: Do not modify original Audio/Video info.
- The issue is particularly problematic with the Apple audio decoder. The Apple decoder relies on the sampling rate to configure the CoreAudio transform.
- The actual output rate may be different (such as with HE-AAC). Should the decoder ever need to be reset again, future initialization would have failed as the initial rate was now incorrect.
- Bug 1312530 - Force windowless plugin mode in 64-bit builds if async rendering is disabled.
- Bug 1310814 - Add ObjC exception guards.
- With the added safety checks it's unlikely that anything in this function will fire ObjC exceptions, but our rule is to have guards around every Objective C function that can directly be called from C++ files.
- Bug 1310814 - Use public NSLocale API for getting the system country code.
- This potentially changes behavior. On my machine, the old code returned
- NS_ERROR_FAILURE because the dictionary did not have a "countryCode" entry,
- but this new implementation correctly returns the string "CA".
- Bug 1313198 - Bundle a fallback version of the SDK loader behind a preference.
- Bug 1309350 - Part 2: Speed up synchronous resolution of module paths. r=gps,

- Fixed:
- Fixed a case where having a contact and card in an address book with the same name could send to the mailing list (Bug 1008718)
- Security fixes:
- Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
- High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
- Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
- Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have "High" impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)
