Yup

Mozilla won't release a new Thunderbird without also updating Lightning.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Where?

I've always had a hard time finding updated versions of lightning.

The version here has not changed for some time:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/download.html

and the one on this site hasn't changed for awhile either.

thanks,

Jared

Was able to update the plugin via thunderbird during the upgrade process.

thanks for your help.

Automatic

It's always automatic for every new TB version. At any given time, the version if Lightning will work with TB X but not TB X+1. So as you upgrade, Lightning is disabled and then updated right after TB is. It's all automated.

Sometimes

Sometimes the automatic update fails and you need to do a 'manual' update via add-ons > check for updates .
99% of the time if the automatic update during upgrade fails.
Then add-ons > check for updates will catch it and install the update.
