Download Mozilla Lightning 0.7 RC1

Lightning is an extension for Mozilla Thunderbird with calendar functionality and is based on sunbird. The program is an embedded redesign of Mozilla Calendar. For example, meetings and appointments with the corresponding start and end times can be recorded in Lightning and they can be synchronized with the PDA and smartphone. A new version of Mozilla Lightning appeared on the download server a few days ago. The new version has been given version numbering 0.7 Release Candidate 1 and can be downloaded from this location as an extension for Thunderbird. The release notes of version 0.7 RC1 can be read below:

I come with good news, the first 0.7 release candidate (RC1) is ready! We have the Sunbird RC’s for all our supported locales (26 including English) as well as the Lightning RC’s for all our supported locales AND a Lightning Universal Mac build.

After finishing RC1 we’re holding a community test day next Tuesday, October 9th. We need you to tell us, if Lightning and Sunbird are ready for release, or if our developers have to fix some so far unknown bugs. Still a long list of bugs fixed since the release of 0.5 waits to be verified fixed, and the localized versions of Lightning and Sunbird need to be checked for completeness and correctness. So, join us in #calendar-qa on Tuesday. All the information on the test day is in our Test Day Wiki Page.
