Download Mozilla Sunbird 0.5 RC1

On the site, people behind Mozilla Sunbird have the first release candidate of the 0.5 branch made available. Sunbird is Mozilla’s stand-alone calendar application and originates from Mozilla Calendar Project, an extension developed for Mozilla’s diverse application to extend it with calendar functionality. Sunbird’s developers have honored this ‘tradition’ by also releasing Sunbird as an extension for Thunderbird and naming it Lightning. The new versions of Sunbird and Lightning are available via respectively this one and this one server download for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The release notes of version 0.5 RC1 are posted below:

At long last, the 0.5 RCs are ready! We have the Sunbird RC’s for all our supported locales as well as the Lightning RC’s for all our supported locales AND a Lightning Universal Mac build.

We are truly happy to have this finally done. But, now is where we need your help. We’ve been in total lockdown for some time on this release, so we think the actual code bits are OK. But, this is the first time that the localizers (and anyone) has seen the localized Lightning builds.
