14 DAY TRIAL // Mozilla announced today the availability of a new release for their Lightning add-on, integrated into Thunderbird by default. It is not a stable build, but the third beta for version 1.4, and it fixes some critical issues present in the previous revision.
Users running the second beta of the add-on in Thunderbird 12 (beta) may confront with a bunch of problems, such as gazing at blank calendars or the error console showing an abundance of errors. At the root of the trouble are broken localizations, which have been erroneously introduced.
Lightning 1.4b3 should also prove to be useful for those using Provider for Google Calendar add-on, as it fixes the problem that makes events in secondary calendars to be moved to the primary one when editing.
A stable build for Lightning as well as a new one for Provider for Google Calendar are planned to ship on May 1st.
