[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Due to API changes in Thunderbird in its beta 4 pre cycle (see bug 500506), Lightning was updated to meet those changes, as a result Lightning is no longer backwards compatible with Thunderbird 3.0b3.

Thunderbird 3.0b4 should be out within the next couple of weeks.

The latest test build that is compatible with Thunderbird 3.0b3 is the 2009-09-08 nightly build. You can download it from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/2009/09/2009-09-08-03-comm-1.9.1/linux-xpi/
