We decided to start the New Year with a fresh release of Betterbird 140.6.0esr-bb16. Too many fixes had accumulated since shipping "bb15" at the beginning of December:
- A user alerted us to a defective French localisation. The issue is also present in Thunderbird 140. We made a "spot fix" to include the missing strings.
- A user had asked us to provide a "dark reader" switch for the compose window to work around "back on black" issues.
- By popular demand we've implemented an option to include the event description in the mail body of the scheduling message.
- We're now enabling address book categories for compliant CardDAV servers which support vCard v4.0.
- "Recent Destination" now include a short MRU list on top of the longer alphabetically sorted list.
- By popular demand, filenames can now contain commas with
-compose "attachment=..."is used. - There was a Mozilla editor issue where the "insertion point" (caret) was displayed incorrectly. We're advancing Mozilla's fix since the issue was rather annoying.
- And finally: Embedded SVG images weren't displayed correctly under some circumstances, another puzzling issue.
And there is more, so please refer to the Release Notes for full details.
Update: No release without an issue. This time the localised strings for the new Categories functionality were missing, so all localised versions and language packs had to be replaced. This happened at 20:00 GMT.
