Lanikai Alpha 1 released

[Rafael Ebron]

  Lanikai Alpha 1, an early version of our next release of Thunderbird, 
is now available for download [1].   Lanikai is built on top of the 
Gecko 1.9.2 platform. While this alpha version is considered to be 
stable, it is intended for developers and members of our testing 
community to use for evaluation and feedback. Users of this latest alpha 
version of Thunderbird should not expect all of their add-ons to work 
properly with this milestone.

The main goals of this release is to find out about possible problems 
caused by the changes in the underlying platform. Notable changes include:

    * Several improvements to IMAP.
    * Several fixes for Smart Folders, message filters, and attachment
      handling.
    * Several design improvements and corrections to the interface.
    * Download Manager is now accessible as a menu item (Tools > Saved
      Files).
    * Stability and memory improvements.

For a more detailed list of bug fixes, see the the full bug list [2].
