Thunderbird logoMozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition version 1.5.0.9 has been released. Thunderbird Portable is the popular Mozilla Thunderbird email client bundled with a PortableApps.com launcher as a portable app, so you can have a real email client on the go. This new release updates the included Thunderbird binaries to version 1.5.0.9. And, it's packaged in PortableApps Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps Suite or upgrade the included version. It is available for immediate download from the Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition homepage.

it would be nice if there would either be a change-log or a section right at the end of the post above where you could see the changes.
In other words: is there any reason to install this (like better Launcher, Vista-Support, ...)if I have already auto-updated my TB?

In a word ... No. If you use the auto update feature built into Thunderbird it should automatically update to the latest version. The exception to this is Beta versions/ Release candidates such as the Beta version of Thunderbird 2.0 which is available at the moment. For those not used to Thunderbird it is worth pointing out that a newer version does not necessarilly mean more functionality but is often a case of security fixes. Mozilla don't release patches but only updates.

you are.
With FF and TB you can always go with the built-in update feature.
Only when John makes a new version of the launcher you should grab a copy from here so you get the new launcher.

When John releases a new version of a launcher, he says so in the post.
