Thunderbird 2 RC 1 is already in testing stages. As Scott MacGregor puts it, “If there are no problems with the RC, it is the final release.”
Also, he adds that “The binaries of full fledge release builds are now digitally signed as part of the Vista integration work.”
Note: The builds below are nightlies. They are not official 2 RC 1 release builds. However, they are as close as anyone can get to at this point in time, till the lead developers think that it is time to release the RC. Keep track of all TB 2 Beta 2 -> 2 RC 1 changes here, which will get updated once the RC ships.
It’s really close to the finish line this time!
