ESR 10 vs 17
Thunderbird ESR is available as 10.0 and 17.0, just as Firefox ESR is. For the portable version and channel updates, we're approaching it the same way as with Firefox ESR Portable: https://portableapps.com/news/2012-11-20--firefox-portable-esr-10.0.11-r...
Thanks
I'm still using the ESR versions and after every new release, I hardly wait for the new ESR. Thanks a lot, John, for the fast work!
Hello, I have read the link,
Hello,
I have read the link, but i have a question : do you think it will be possibe to update esr10.0.x to esr17.0.x by the update option of thunberdird (in feb. or mars if i understand) or we will restart an install from a new esr17.0.0 ?
Merci
Use TB
If you want 17.0, why not just use TB stable? They're exactly the same thing. You lose any benefit of ESR by upgrading to 17 early. Remember, ESR isn't updated any less often than stable. It's just designed for corporations and universities to target larger apps to as the feature target moves more slowly.
I Want to stay with my ESR...
I Want to stay with my ESR... because we can't choose an update canal ONLY for bug fixed and safety with the "stable" version...and you have to accept many evolution that you don't want or do problem with the update, or safety problem if you use in nomad (cyber-coffee ; administration fee...)
And 14 or 15 (don't remenber) fixed a really annoying bug (the crash on startup if you don't put the master code in the first minute after launch...if you have many account)
So even if i prefer to stay with this ESR i have to update, but i want to stay with esr...
Thank you
Same Thing, Though
Even if you stay with ESR, all the changes of the stable branch will be pushed to you just a bit delayed. As an end user ESR gains you nearly nothing. It updates just as often and you still get the major changes a few months later (along with any concern about broken extensions). In the future, please keep this in mind as requests to move to a specific ESR version will not be honored. ESR will always stay on the version behind until stable moves to the later version (in this case, ESR stays on 10.x even though a 17.x is available until stable moves to 18.x). This will not change. If you want the latest bug fixes and feature improvements, you should be on stable. From Mozilla itself, ESR is only for large organizations like corporations or universities targeting apps to work with it or testing it for rollouts, it is not for end users.
That said, stable just hit 18.0, so ESR is moving to 17.0 and will stay there until stable hits 25.0.
ok thank you
