1.) Fix broken "yasm" version check which only accepts version numbers
like "a.b.c.d" but not like "a.b.c" and therefore fails with
Yasm 1.2.0. This probably affects other platforms (e.g. Linux
as well).
2.) Use "-R" instead of non-portable "-rpath" linker option.
The build under Solaris 10 fails now during the build phase and not
already in the configuration phase.
* Update enigmail to 1.4.2
* Update Lightning to 1.5
Changelog:
* Filelink: Upload your files to an online storage service and send links
to your friends, avoiding bounce back due to large attachments. We have
partnered with YouSendIt to bring this feature, but additional partners
will be added in the near future.
* In partnership with Gandi and Hover, you can now sign up for a
personalized email address from within Thunderbird. Along with your new
email address, Thunderbird will be automatically set up and ready to
send and receive messages. We are working with additional suppliers to
cover more areas of the world and to provide more options in the future.
