That's its name on Ubuntu - that package may come with a different name, or the libraries being included already in the default installation for other distros.

Mention session restore somewhere and related bug 338549 and bug 501288 on password-prompting issues?

"For Lightning users, shortcuts for opening calendar or tasks do not work. New shortcuts will be implemented in the next release. (Bug 477091)" is great but  it's still worth being explicit that ctrl+shift+C has changed to shift+C - be kind to our keyboard-centric users

Is Gloda not to be announced until b4?  I thought perhaps since part of the functionality is there that we'd suggest people try the bits at their option (since it is not on or exposed by default without customize toolbar)

Addition to "Tabbed Email Messages":

Also, middle-clicking on messages or folders will open them in the background by default.  Holding down shift while you middle-click will invert the behavior.

When you quit Thunderbird, the currently visible tabs will be saved.  When you next open Thunderbird, the tabs will be restored.


A new heading: "Per-Folder Message-List Columns":

The column headings that are displayed and the order in which they are displayed are now saved on a per-folder basis.  Normal folders will default to the state of the columns in the Inbox when you first enter them.  Sent folders and saved search folders will be initialized to appropriate defaults.

Re "The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C does not mark selected messages as All Read. For Lightning users, shortcuts for opening calendar or tasks do not work. Fixes to shortcuts will be implemented in the next release. (Bug 477091)":

This isn't true, it's fixed (with some l10n stuff to land later). The only thing worth noting is that "Mark All Read has changed from Ctrl+Shift+C to Shift+C". And even that is only true for windows users. Linux used to be Shift+C earlier, but not for beta2 ;)

http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/system-requirements/ shows the Thunderbird 2.0 system requirements. Is there any 3.0/1.9.1-specific page?

I guess you can use the Firefox system requirements for now:

The system requirements page was updated already for alpha 1, the respective
link in bug 429235 comment #51 still works (access information further up).

B3 is released now, this is complete and fixed.
