The default themes have both been updated with new improved artwork as well.”
New features include:
- Significant theme improvements for all platforms.
- Migration improvements for Outlook 2003, Eudora and Mozilla Suite users.
- Fix for a 0.9 regression on Mac OS X when creating folders with non ascii characters.
- Lots of improvements and bugfixes to Saved Search Folders, Message Grouping, RSS, Multiple Identities and Global Inbox.
- UI and stability improvements, and a new end-user license agreement.
- And many more over at this mozillaZine forum post

Why is this not on the Mozilla front page like Firefox1.0RC1 was?

My guess is…. not significant enough to make the front page since it is a (mostly) bugfix release, not even final and Thunderbird is not a core product of the Moz Foundation. (which should be IMHO, in conjunction with Firefox)

No Official Linux installer yet?

Firefox 1.0RC1 wasn’t on the Mozilla frontpage either. 1.0PR (or 0.10) was, but 1.0RC1 & 1.0RC2 weren’t.

Looks like your blockers/nominated query links are broken due to the recent product/component reorg in bugzilla. Working queries now would be something like

Ok, thanks. I’ll do it after the release of 1.0 in a few days time.
