Today we made the first build of BB 140.3.0esr-bb11.
Featured fixes are:
- When a master password is used and the prompt is cancelled, the application will now be closed instead of prompting over and over. We picked up a complaint from a newsgroup. It fixes a bug that is six years old (from 2019) which hasn't seen any activity for two years (2023). It's only got 40 duplicates. Fun fact: The fix we're shipping is based on TB's own suggestion which they never completed.
- We got a few reports that calendar reminders didn't work reliably any more. After some investigations, we found out that the Thunderbird folks had fatally changed the default value of Show missed reminders for writable calendars, which led a reminders for future events not to be displayed if the application wasn't running at the time of the reminder, potentially leading to missed events. Their intention was to skip reminders for past events by default, but they threw out the baby with the bathwater. We fixed it by always showing reminders for future events, regardless of the setting.
- We were contacted by some heavy PGP users reporting that when importing public keys in bulk, the info panel didn't fit onto the screen and had no scrollbars. At times the oversized panel even led to crashes. We fixed it.
As always, the full details are in the Release Notes.
