A friend has asked me about Thunderbird: apparently upstream has v52, but we are on 45. Maybe it has already been explained on another post? I don't remember.
Tumbleweed or Leap?
Hum. Leap, I think. (I later noticed 52 was on the mozilla repo)
For Tumbleweed an update to 52.0 was in the pipeline for two weeks now. I think one reason why it was delayed is a failing ppc64 build. (I do not even know if it was successful before.) For Leap we do not do version upgrades for the purpose of version upgrades. Version 52.0 did not bring any additional security fixes (which are the main and almost only reason for the version upgrades remember) compared to 45.latest.
Thunderbird 52.1 which brings additional security fixes was released yesterday from upstream and is already submitted to Leap 42.1, 42.2 and Tumbleweed and waits for acceptance.
Thanks! I'll tell him. :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
