668186 - Thunderbird 3.1.11 advertises and tries install of Unsupported ADDON (Lightning)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Thunderbird, defect)

Description

[jimimaseye]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/3.6.17
Build ID: 20110420140830

Steps to reproduce:

Performed a cheeck and allowed the suggested update from Thunderbird 3.1.10 to latest official 3.1.11.  After the upgrade, and the required restart of TB, the 'Whats New In Thunderbird' tab appears advertising the 'Personal Calender' (Lightning) with an INSTALL NOW button embedded in.


Actual results:

The INSTALL NOW button points to the current latest versino (released 28th June 2011) at https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/downloads/latest/2313/platform:5/addon-2313-latest.xpi?src=addon-detail.   However, when the install is carried out it fails with "THIS VERSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE...".

Apparently, this latest version of Lightning is only compatible with Thunderbird 5.0.


Expected results:

Offering the latest version of Lightning after installing TB 3.1.x should no longer be done and be removed from this 'Welcome' screen.

Thanks for the hint! This needs to be changed, not sure if there is an easier url though:

https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/downloads/file/92622/lightning-1.0b2-tb-win.xpi?src=whatever

https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/downloads/file/92624/lightning-1.0b2-tb-linux.xpi?src=whatever

I've just committed r92091 to production which removes the lightning links from the 3.1 pages - we're updating users to 5.0 now, and the what's new pages have links in there if folks want it.

(should go live within about 10-15 mins).
