Slackware 13.1: 2010-317-01 Critical Update for Mozilla-Thunderbird

slackware
Calendar Grey November 15, 2010
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Fresh Mozilla-Thunderbird updates are now released for Slackware, aiming to fix security vulnerabilities and deliver crucial enhancements.
New mozilla-thunderbird packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-3.0.10-i686-1.txz: Upgraded. This upgrade fixes some more security bugs. For more information, see: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/thunderbird-3.0/ (* Security fix *) As noted in the Slackware 13.0 ChangeLog, this is a major update there: patches/packages/mozilla-thunderbird-3.0.10-i686-1.txz: Upgraded. With Thunderbird 2.x unmaintained, it seems like a good idea to provide a upgrade to Thunderbird 3.x for security reasons. This will bring with it quite a bit of changed functionality, so be prepared... one hint is that it will now make local copies of remote mailboxes by default, so you will need to have enough disk space to handle that.

Where Find New Packages

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
