+thunderbird (1:78.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The Thunderbird ESR series starting with version 78.x has finally dropped the
+ support for legacy Add-ons and also for legacy WebExtension Add-ons.
+ By this some packaged Add-ons within Debian, but also some external installed
+ Add-ons might not working any more!
+
+ The very popular Add-on Enigmail, which was providing OpenPGP support within
+ the Thunderbird application, isn't getting further development as an external
+ Add-on due a consequence of the changed Add-on API.
+ Instead Thunderbird now has Built-In OpenPGP support since version 78.0.
+ The latest version of the Enigmail Add-on (>= 2.2) will provide an migration
+ wizard which helps to migrate the existing OpenPGP keys into Thunderbird.
+
+ Please have a look for further information about Enigmail on the project
+ homepage and the Add-on website.

+
+ You might also want to have a look at README.Debian for more information.

+ Starting with version 68.2.2-1 src:thunderbird isn't building the binary
+ package calendar-google-provider any more.

+
+ (Please choose your preferred language!)

+thunderbird (1:60.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ intl.locale.matchOS is replaced by intl.locale.requested
+
+ Thunderbird has taken the locale from the user session by using the
+ preference 'intl.locale.matchOS' up until version 57.
+ This preference is replaced by 'intl.locale.requested' since version 58.
+
+ Thunderbird is detecting (again) the locale from the system by using this
+ preference with an empty string as value.
+ Starting with this version Thunderbird is taking care of this possibility
+ by adding this preference to the system wide configuration within
+ '/etc/thunderbird/pref/thunderbird.js.
+
+ If you have used Thunderbird packages < 1:60.0-3 *and* you have used this
+ environment settings within your profile by adding a dedicated locale value
+ which is equal to the system language you can remove this and let
+ Thunderbird pick up the locale from the system automatically. To do so
+ remove the following key completely from your local settings:
+
+ intl.locale.requested

+
+ Please have also a look into README.Debian for a more in deep explanation,
+ especially section
+ 'Enable l10n languages in Thunderbird >= 1:60.0~b2'.

+
+thunderbird (1:60.0~b2-1) experimental; urgency=medium
+
+ thunderbird-l10n and lightning-l10n packages are known broken
+
+ Due the modifications by upstream started with Thunderbird 59 related to the
+ needed changes for the WebExtensions the various l10n packages for
+ thunderbird itself but also for lightning are currently not working like
+ previously out of the box.
+ This is a known fact and mostly confirmed by upstream.
+
+ By a manual workaround for the local profile it's possible to (re-)enable the
+ requested l10n language. Please have a look at the file README.Debian in the
+ section 'Enable l10n languages in Thunderbird >= 1:60.0~b2'.

+thunderbird (1:52.5.0-1) unstable; urgency=high
+
+ The profile for AppArmor within Thunderbird is now disabled by default.
+ Since the activated Recommends for the apparmor package in recent
+ kernel-image packages it turns out there are to many things that simply not
+ working like before if Thunderbird is using the current AppArmor profile.
+
+ Please read README.apparmor for getting more information about the
+ re-enabling of the AppArmor profile.
+ People who wants to help to improve the AppAprmor profile are appreciated.
+
+ Take also a look at #882048 for the reason behind that decision.
