Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 15.0

In addition  to the Firefox release today, Mozilla also released version 15.0 of its Thunderbird E-mail client, for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.  The new release includes some new features:

  • Multi-channel chat facility
  • “Do Not Track” support for Web searching
  • Ubuntu One is now supported for Filelink attachments
  • Updated user interface

The new version also includes fixes for 12 identified security vulnerabilities, five of which are rated of Critical importance.  More information is available in the Release Notes.

If you have enabled automatic checking for updates, Thunderbird should inform you of the new version.  Otherwise, you can obtain the new version via the built-in update mechanism (Help / About Thunderbird / Check for Updates), or you can download a complete installation package, in a variety of (human) languages.
