Hi,
since there have been multiple threads on different lists about availability of Thunderbird 78 for openSUSE please let me share the latest news.
Upstream released Thunderbird 78.2.2 last week. Upstream did not enable automatic updates to 78 from 68 and also recommended to distros to not upgrade until now. It's likely that this changes with 78.2.2 being released now.
The main reason is that there was no finished PGP support in TB 78. Previously it was provided by enigmail but as TB 78 does only allow webextensions enigmail cannot work anymore to provide PGP support. Therefore upstream implemented their own OpenPGP support natively in Thunderbird 78 which has been finally enabled by default in recent versions. You can find the upstream FAQ here and if you are using Thunderbird with enigmal today you really should read it carefully: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-howto-and-faq
So what about the current status for openSUSE:
The "mozilla" OBS repository (which is for ages the official project you get current versions as backports to supported openSUSE distros) currently contains
Thunderbird 78.2.2 enigmail 2.2.2 (which requires 78.2.2) (please find its purpose in the FAQ above)
how those will soon be submitted to Tumbleweed.
When this "soon" will be depends a bit on your feedback if there are still major issues found during the next days. So please feel free to provide feedback on the list, in bugzilla, or directly to me.
After Tumbleweed I'm quite sure that the SUSE guys will also move along putting the version into supported Leap versions.
Wolfgang Thank you for the "warning". Thunderbird 78.2.2 from the mozilla:repo works fine for me (TW & Leap 15.2), including openPGP. Thanks a lot for all your efforts, in particular for maintaining the mozilla OBS repo now for ages!
