Songbird 1.4.1 Build 1430

(2009.12.21)

Changes in 1.4.1

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS
* CD Rip Support (Windows only)
Songbird can now rip music from audio CDs to the main Songbird library.

* Firmware Update for MSC (Windows only)
Songbird will be able to manage the firmware on selected MSC devices.

* Purple Rain

CD Rip
* Songbird will not recognize USB CD drives plugged in while the application is running. Quit and restart Songbird to mount your CD drive inside the application.

* Users must click within the CD Rip media view to activate the CD Rip-specific keyboard shortcuts.

* CDs will occasionally not eject automatically after a successful rip when the auto-eject option is enabled.

* Album artwork for some compilation CDs will not be fetched during the CD Rip process. Users can manually fetch artwork for the album once the ripped tracks are in the Songbird library.

* The CD Rip node will be displayed for data-only CDs.

* Users must select a track within the CD Rip media view to see the artwork associated with the album.
    -Will be fixed for 1.5.0 release.

* Intermittently when downloading tracks, progress bars stop animating

* Mac only: The new feather (Purple Rain) will display with some artifacts from the old feather (Gonzo) if 1.4.1 is installed directly on top of 1.2 instead of using the in-product updating mechanism. To fix this, go to the View menu, choose Feathers, and choose Purple Rain.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Alpha 1

(2009.12.10)

Introduction
The Ubuntu developers are moving quickly to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. The Lucid Lynx Alpha 1 is the first alpha release of Ubuntu 10.04, bringing with it the earliest new features for the next version of Ubuntu.

This is an alpha release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released on April 29, 2010.

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.04' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a server system: install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed; edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal; launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade; and follow the on-screen instructions.

New features in Lucid
Feature development for Lucid is happening with full speed. Please see the Lucid blueprint list for details.

Please test and report any bugs you find:
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Updated Packages
As with every new release, packages--applications and software of all kinds--are being updated at a rapid pace. Many of these packages come from an automatic sync from Debian's Testing branch. For a list of all packages being accepted for 10.04 Lucid Lynx, please subscribe to lucid-changes:

Known issues
As is to be expected at this stage of the release process, there are several known bugs that users are likely to run into with Lucid Alpha 1. We have documented them here for your convenience along with any known workarounds, so that you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again:

- The nv driver used by default for nvidia video chipsets on the LiveCD is reported to lead to X server crashes. Investigation of this issue is ongoing and should be resolved for Lucid Alpha 2. As a workaround, users can boot with safe graphics mode" to use the vesa driver. (494627)

- The firmware for the bnx2 driver is not available on the alternate and server installer images at install time. This bug will be resolved immediately after alpha 1. As a workaround, users can install using the desktop images; or install using the alternate or server CD and enable the network after installation. (494052)

- Manual partitioning in the graphical installer is reported to cause the installer to crash. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. (494608)

- Clicking on the installer icon on the Kubuntu desktop CD fails to launch ubiquity. As a workaround, the installer can be launched from the commandline by running kdesudo ubiquity. (494997)

- The Kubuntu alpha 1 desktop ISOs are too large to fit on a CD. They can be burned to a DVD or USB stick, or you can install using the alternate ISOs.

Thunderbird 3.0

(2009.12.08)

What's New in Thunderbird 3.0

Thunderbird 3 Features:
For an overview, please see Thunderbird 3 Features.

Thunderbird 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1.5 platform including some major re-architecting to provide improved performance, stability, web compatibility, and code simplification and sustainability.

New features include:

New Search with Advanced Filtering Tools
* New Search with Advanced Filtering Tools
Search results now include advanced filtering tools. You have the option to filter your results by sender, tag, attachments, people, folder, and mailing list. You can also filter your email using the timeline tool.

* New Global Search Field with Autocomplete
When typing in the Global Search field, Thunderbird autocompletes against your address book. You have the option of searching everywhere or filtering against different parts of the email such as by subject or by sender.

User Experience Improvements
* New Mail Account Setup Wizard
The new Mail Account Setup Wizard matches against a database of email settings from popular mail providers so that you will only need to provide your name, email, and password to set up new mail accounts.

* Redesigned Mail Toolbar
The Mail Toolbar is redesigned to include the new Global Search bar. Buttons such as reply, forward, delete, junk are part of each email message. You can add those buttons back to the main toolbar by customizing the toolbar.

* Tabbed Email Messages
Double-clicking or hitting enter on a mail message will now open that message in a New Tab window. Middle-clicking on messages or folders will open them in a Tab in the background. When quitting Thunderbird, visible tabs will be saved and will be restored when you open Thunderbird the next time. There is also a new Tab menu on the Tab toolbar to help you switch between Tabs.

* Smart Folders
The folder pane offers a Smart Folders mode which combines special mailboxes, like Inbox, from multiple accounts. Smart Folders is now on by default.

* New Message Summary View
Selecting multiple messages will give you a summary view of the emails you have selected.

* Column Headings
The column headings that are displayed and the order in which they are displayed can now be set on a per-folder basis.

* Message Archive
You can now file messages from your Inbox or other folders into the new Archive folder system.

* Activity Manager
The Activity Manager records all the interactions between Thunderbird and your email provider in one place.

* New Add-ons Manager
The new Add-ons Manager (Tools > Add-ons) can now be used to find, download, and install Thunderbird Add-ons which includes Extensions, Themes, and Plugins. Note that few Add-ons are compatible with this beta at the time of release, as Add-on developers need to upgrade them.

* Improved Address Book
If someone is in your address book, it is indicated by a new star icon which you can click to edit contact details inline. If they are not in your address book, you can add them with one click of the icon. A new birthday field allows you to keep track of your friends' birthdays. You can also add a photo for contacts in your address book.

* Improved Gmail Integration
Better recognition and integration of Gmail's special folders such as Sent and Trash including non-English versions of Gmail. Thunderbird also uses All Mail as the Archives folder.

* For Windows Vista users, Thunderbird 3 is now integrated with Vista search results. On first start, Thunderbird will prompt to install its indexing system into Windows Vista and you can choose to see Thunderbird email and news messages in Windows search results.

* For Mac users, Thunderbird 3 is now integrated with Spotlight, can import from Mail.app, read your OS X address book, and use Growl for new mail alerts.

Performance Improvements
* IMAP Folder Synchronization
Thunderbird will download IMAP messages by default in the background to allow for faster message loading and better offline operation. This feature can be enabled on an individual folder basis via Folder properties, or for all folders in an account via Account Settings / 'Synchronize & Storage'.
