New Thunderbird 60.0 - with the 'Photon' interface
Posted: Sun 12 Aug 2018, 15:25
Afternoon, all.
I wasn't even aware this had been released until a couple of days ago:-
https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/mozil ... f-features
I can't find any signs this has been accepted into the official mainstream repos yet, so for those of you who like to keep T-Bird up-to-date, here are some .pet & SFS packages for you.
64-bit packages:-

32-bit packages:-
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
Navigate through and help yourselves. These are direct from the Mozilla T-Bird repo, released 6 days ago, on the 6th August. There's a new 'look' (code-named 'Photon'), designed to match more closely with the Quantum browser.....and there's now the option of dark themes, for those of you who like such things.
Since these are from the 'release' schedule, they will auto-update as and when updates become available.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
These appear to work OK with any Pups that are 6-series and later. I've currently got it working in Tahr 6.0.6 (32-bit), Tahr64 6.0.5, Xenial 7.0.8.1 (32-bit), and Xenial64 7.5. I can't yet get this to work with older 5-series Puppies, since it not only wants a newer libdbus (which is not impossible), but it also appears to want libsystemd.....and that pulls in a whole raft of systemd-type requirements & dependencies which I am not happy about 'polluting' older Puppies with.
My Thunderbird packages for 'middle-aged' Pups are quite adequate for these, anyway, since 45.8.0 will update to the current 52.9.1.....and that works extremely well.

Anyway; enjoy.
