<p>Thanks Wayne,</p>
<p>I updated and installed and read the release notes, planning to
do do another video on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiqw9IULdRxig5e-fcPo6A?view_as=subscriber">Thunderbird
Daily</a> in regards to the next ESR. As I have to release new
forward compatible versions of all my mail Add-ons I thought I
could tie it in with the release of SmartTemplate4 today, but I
don't think I have enough info to do it comprehensively, so I am
putting that off for further down the line (when is release of
Tb60 planned for?)<br>
</p>
<p>Now, looking at:<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/60.0beta/releasenotes/?locale=en-US&version=60.0&os=WINNT">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/60.0beta/releasenotes/?locale=en-US&version=60.0&os=WINNT</a></p>
<p>I was asking myself what new features should be demoed, to show
the progress in comparison to ESR versions 52.*</p>
<p>not quite sure what the page above refers to, the most
important changes of 60 vs 52 or changes from 59 to 60?<br>
</p>
<p>Ideally I would like to have a list of obvious things (like the
new UI / responsive icons design) that I would present in a 10
minute video, if possible not too technical.</p>
<p>I looked at this list:<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?classification=Client%20Software&query_format=advanced&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&target_milestone=Thunderbird%2060.0&product=Thunderbird&resolution=FIXED">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?classification=Client%20Software&query_format=advanced&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&target_milestone=Thunderbird%2060.0&product=Thunderbird&resolution=FIXED</a></p>
<p>would that be the comprehensive list of changes vs. 52? Does
anyone on this list have suggestions on what to present? <br>
</p>
<p>Maybe <i><b>Ryan </b></i>could also help with putting
together what he thinks is important for marketing Thunderbird
for the future. I definitely want to mention that the users are
going strong (20 Million?) and that Thunderbird will be around
for at least another year - hopefully still with full Add-ons
support (as opposed to Firefox and Postbox).</p>
<p>I also heard on Mozilla that they are working hard on
re-structuring Add-on reviews for rehosting all Add-ons under
the new domain, it would be great to get a bit more info to see
how the changeover will affect our users / will Add-on updates
be seamless? How is searching for Add-ons from mozilla.org
integrated with the new host is it simply redirecting all
traffic / searches for mail add-ons? How is it going to affect
SeaMonkey users - I assume they also want to stay with XUL based
Add-ons as they have a more conservative viewpoint (full
theming, deep customisation etc.)? Lots of questions here, it
would be great if I had some answers to work into a video.<br>
</p>
<p>thanks in advance,<br>
Axel<br>
