The latest stable release of thunderbird is 91.1.1 (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/91.1.1/releasenotes/), and it is available in impish-proposed.
Upstream hasn't flipped the switch to enable upgrades from 78 to 91 yet, but in my limited testing there is nothing preventing/breaking the upgrade path. I have tested that a profile created in thunderbird 78 is correctly re-used after upgrading to 91 in impish-proposed. Given that 78.15.0 (to be released on October 5) will be the last release of the 78 branch (after which it will become unsupported) and that impish is not a LTS, I think we should unblock thunderbird 91 from proposed. This will: - get it some wider field testing - ensure that we don't release impish with a series of thunderbird that is EOL ** Tags removed: block-proposed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940631 Title: Keep thunderbird 91 in impish-proposed until a point release enables profile upgrades Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Thunderbird 91 was released on August 11. According to the release notes (https://www.thunderbird.net/en- US/thunderbird/91.0/releasenotes/): « Thunderbird version 91.0 is only offered as direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 78 or earlier. A future release will provide updates from earlier versions. » To follow upstream's lead on safe upgrades, let's keep 91 in impish- proposed for now, until a later point release enables upgrades, hopefully before final freeze.
