(This is now a bit obsolete, referencing the last screw-ya’ll update that was pushed out without notice or option, it is clearly too much to hope that TB devs stop being so sure that “if you don’t do email our way, you’re doing it wrong.”) TL:DR Understandably, those devs who stuck with TB through several major revisions of the add-on architecture and suffered reputational and time cost because of them, perceive this “convince us you’re worthy and we may grant a permanent reprieve to your code should we consider it not utterly beneath our notice” attitude as off putting. All for a provisional access status that the TB devs helpful advise developers they should beg and plead to make core lest it be capriciously disabled at any future update. There is a mechanism by which tentative experimental access to many (but not all) of the previously available hooks can still be connected, but taking advantage of that experimental access still imposes a burden of rewriting, refactoring, and retesting – and then recovering user trust. For me, one of the critical deficiencies is losing the support of the Enigmail developers (curiously, this 2019 post seems to be a bit behind release 2.2.4.1, which apparently adds support (!).)Ī key issue is that many add-ons require hooks into the base code to be able to do things like add menus or interact with users and most of these were terminated. I’d argue that the strategy being taken by the devs toward compatibility is defensible, but they seem deaf to the empty wasteland they’ve made of the add-on marketplace. But 78 is a long way from there and TB devs have continued to create some really bad blood with add-on developers. I’ve come to some peace with 68 as most of the really critical plugins were updated. Thunderbird is an open source project, which means anyone can contribute ideas, designs, code, and time helping fellow users.UPDATE: 78 just repeated history with another unwelcome surprise update.
