Changelog for previous release (Thunderbird 2.0.0.18) | Changelogs for other Thunderbird releases
Released on 30 Dec 08, and this changelog was last updated on 01 Jan 09.
Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 over 2.0.0.18. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release. Do check out the known issues as well.
The Gecko 1.8.1.x branch (Thunderbird 2.0.0.x series) will not include any groundbreaking features that Gecko 1.9.x will bring, since it is based on Gecko 1.8.
Impact key for security issues listed on the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories webpage:
- Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
- High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
- Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
- Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have "High" impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)

- Fixed: MFSA 2008-60 – Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.5/1.8.1.19) (Moderate)

2.0.0.19 renders Thunderbird useless. When I open a new message, a random old message from many years past displays instead. I’m not sure if it’s data corruption or if it’s just referencing the wrong message but either way I’m going to have to step back to the previous release.

I just downloaded the version 2.0.0.19 and every other subject line is written over as two subject lines superimposed over one another. Does anybody have a fix for that?

We too automatically updated to 2.0.0.19, and when attempting to connect to Comcast consistently get “Mailserver sent an incorrect greeting…” We can no longer send email. Trying to go back to prior release.
