  - update debian/thunderbird.desktop.in

  open a Compose window and add the file as an attachment
  - update debian/thunderbird.desktop.in
* Drop the ability to select between tree/system libraries using a single
  option in debian/rules. It adds additional complexity and was never used

  - update debian/thunderbird-dev.links.in
  - update debian/rules
* Shuffle the order of google-breakpad/src/common/dwarf/Makefile.in to fix a

  the wrong compiler flags, resulting in dump_syms crashing (LP: #1002590)
  - add debian/patches/fix-makefile-substitution-bug.patch

  dependentlibs.list instead now
  - update debian/thunderbird.sh.in

    and preferences from application bundles
  - Fix ordering issues when loading preferences

119. By Chris Coulson on 2012-04-30

* New upstream stable release (THUNDERBIRD_12_0_1_BUILD1)
  - see LP: #987305 for USN information

* Update globalmenu-extension to v3.2.3
  - Fix regression introduced by the fix for LP: #915888
* Call xvfb-run with "-a" in case there are other servers running on the
  builder
  - update debian/build/testsuite.mk
* Thunderbird recommends libcanberra0 now that bmo: #635918 has landed
  (LP: #732572)
  - update debian/control{,in}
* Refresh patches
  - update debian/patches/avoid-dbus-roundtrip-for-httpchannel.patch
  - update debian/patches/no-sps-profiler-on-unsupported-archs.patch
* Drop patches fixed upstream
  - remove debian/patches/ctypes-callback-reentry-fix.patch
  - update debian/patches/series
* Drop the version number from the install path, like we've done for Firefox
  - update debian/rules
  - update debian/thunderbird-dev.install.in
  - update debian/thunderbird-dev.links.in
  - update debian/thunderbird.dirs.in
  - update debian/thunderbird.links.in
  - update debian/thunderbird.lintian-overrides.in
* Fix LP: #939652 - Web search functionality is broken in Ubuntu builds.
  Ship the localized Opensearch plugins in distribution/searchplugins.
  Also add a patch to use the locale of the global chrome package to
  select the search locale, like we do with Firefox. Add another patch
  to fix various bugs in webSearchProvider.js (see bmo: #733802)
  - add debian/patches/distro-locale-searchplugins.patch
  - add debian/patches/websearchprovider-fixes.patch
  - update debian/rules
  - update debian/thunderbird.dirs.in
  - update debian/thunderbird.install.in
  - update debian/thunderbird.links.in
  - update debian/vendor.js
* Make the language packs Architecture: any. Whilst they are actually
  architecture independent, we do install them in to /usr/lib (as the
  extensions location is shared with architecture-specific extensions).
  This also avoids the problem of offering incompatible language pack
  upgrades to users on architectures where Thunderbird fails to build
  (I'm looking at you, powerpc)
  - update debian/control.langpacks
  - update debian/control.langpacks.unavail
  - update debian/rules
  - refresh debian/control
* Disable fix-build-failure-without-yarr-jit.patch, as it needs some work.
  This means that there is currently no powerpc support

118. By Chris Coulson on 2012-04-10

* Update globalmenu-extension to 3.2
  - Fix LP: #915888 - Formatting toolbar menu entry is inverted
  - Make uGlobalMenu::RemoveMenuObjectAt work correctly when removed items
    are not contiguous
  - Don't try to recycle an item that wasn't a separator as an item that is
    a separator, as this breaks the menu (we already ensured that the reverse
    of this couldn't happen)
* Add Keywords entry to desktop file (LP: #973394)
  - update debian/thunderbird.desktop.in

[ Nekhelesh Ramananthan <email address hidden> ]
* Add additional keywords to desktop file
  - update debian/thunderbird.desktop.in

117. By Chris Coulson on 2012-04-02

* New upstream stable release (THUNDERBIRD_11_0_1_BUILD1)
  - Fixes LP: #962631, LP: #971578

* Update globalmenu-extension to 3.1
  - Reduce our memory footprint a bit, which wasn't really a lot anyway
  - Avoid the use of the component manager for accessing commonly used
    services, where "commonly used" means "accessed when building every
    menu item". This should save some CPU cycles when building or
    refreshing menus
  - Try to recycle menuitems when they are removed from a menu by
    adding contiguous blocks of removed items to a "free list" which
    is emptied asynchronously, and reusing the items in this list when
    new items are added in place of the removed items. This means that
    menus which fully refresh on opening no longer alter the menu
    structure, but instead just update properties on existing nodes.
    This has a few benefits:
    + With no layout changes, unity-panel-service doesn't request
      the entire menu structure, which significantly reduces dbus traffic
      and makes it much faster to refresh the menu contents
    + The size of the menu doesn't change when it is refreshed, which
      eliminates the flicker that used to occur when opening some menus
    + The HUD can refresh our menus now without triggering layout updates
      (assuming that menu layout really hasn't changed)
  - Remove all use of the global observer service for sending our own
    internal notifications around
  - Get rid of a static initializer
  - Don't support older than Thunderbird 11
  - Fix some GError leaks
  - Hide the internal menu when creating a native menu, rather than
    waiting for confirmation that the native menu is registered
    successfully. We don't try to create a native menu if we don't
    find a menu service to register the menu with anyway
  - Keep menu contents updated whilst the menu is open, rather than
    just whilst it is opening

New upstream stable release (THUNDERBIRD_11_0_BUILD1)

115. By Chris Coulson on 2012-03-09

114. By Chris Coulson on 2012-03-08

* New upstream release from the beta channel (THUNDERBIRD_11_0b5_BUILD1)

* Update debian/patches/fix-build-failure-without-yarr-jit.patch
* Fix LP: #926495 - Disable the SPS profiler on unsupported architectures

New upstream release from the beta channel (THUNDERBIRD_11_0b4_BUILD1)

112. By Chris Coulson on 2012-02-24

* New upstream release from the beta channel (THUNDERBIRD_11_0b3_BUILD1)

* Update globalmenu-extension to 2.0.4
  - Add support for Thunderbird 12
  - Ensure we correctly hide dummy menu items
* Fix LP: #915895 - Just set autoDisableScopes to 0. Other distributions
  are already doing this, and we already made this feature pretty much
  useless by allowing extensions in the application directory, so that our
  language packs aren't disabled by default
  - update debian/vendor.js
* Fix LP: #939657 - Don't call g_settings_new each time we create a HTTP
  channel. Doing this causes a dbus roundtrip, and results in us spamming
  the session bus and dbus-daemon using lots of CPU when updating mailboxes
  - add debian/patches/avoid-dbus-roundtrip-for-httpchannel.patch
  - update debian/patches/series
* Fix LP: #926495 - Add patch based on one from bmo: #691898 to enable
  building on ppc again
  - add debian/patches/fix-build-failure-without-yarr-jit.patch
  - update debian/patches/series
* Fix LP: #894166 - Make Thunderbird work with our system hyphenation
  patterns, and stop including our own
  - update debian/vendor.js
  - add debian/patches/dont-include-hyphenation-patterns.patch
  - update debian/patches/series
