Geert Hendrickx 454d91161a Thunderbird 2 Alpha 1 is a developer preview release of our next generation
Thunderbird email client and is being made available for testing purposes
only.  Thunderbird 2 Alpha 1 is intended for our testing community. Current
users of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.x should not use Thunderbird 2 Alpha 1.

Changes in this Development Milestone

There is a lot in Thunderbird 2 Alpha 1 that we invite you to play around with
and give us feedback on:

* Message Tags
* Folder Views including favorite folders
* Improved New Mail Notification Alerts
* New Windows installer based on Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
* Find As You Type in the message pane
* New combined and improved Add-ons manager for extensions and themes
* Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for
  easier localization of extensions

Rumbling Edge has a more detailed list of notable bug fixes:

The package and binary are called "thunderbird2-gtk1" so this package can be
installed in parallel with mail/thunderbird-gtk1 (1.5.x), similar to
wip/firefox2-gtk1.
