Changelog for previous release (Thunderbird 3.1.1) | Changelogs for other Thunderbird releases
Released on 05 Aug 10, and this changelog was last updated on 07 Aug 10.
Thunderbird 3.1.2 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 3.1.2 over Thunderbird 3.1.1. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release, but excludes platform-wide fixes. Do check out the known issues as well.
Impact key for security issues (fixed in this version – none at time of listing) that are 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.)
Other changes in Thunderbird 3.1.2: (6)
Thunderbird-specific: (3)
- Fixed: 576365 - Thunderbird 3.1 won’t play sound ( 3.0.5 works fine!!!)
- Fixed: 580764 - Setting pop/imap port to the default value for the security setting not selected appears to get reset.
- Fixed: 581330 - All default smart folders empty since update TB3.0.6 -> TB3.1
MailNews Core: (3)
- Fixed: 578918 - Indexing will not work, Gloda database journal is not created, warning in error console
- Fixed: 580270 - won’t save authentication method “normal password” as preference
- Fixed: 581707 - 3.0.6 update broke IMAP folder new message notification on some but not all IMAP folders (if STATUS error occurs on a folder, Tb doesn’t check new mail of other folders)

Thanks for publishing these lists – they’re a good reference for us security folks!
Noticed a trivial typo: “Thunderbird 3.1.1 has been released”

I just updated wit your latest 3.1.3 version. I think you should introduce Global search old syle that is only in the folder where one is working and not across the folders as with Gloda. Second the search should apper as the list so tha tone does not have to go through several pages before finding one message which one is looking.
