Unlike most weeks, the past few days were filled with
prominent open-source software releases. All of the hype had begun with
the release of GNOME 2.12, which was accompanied by the GNOME-based
Foresight, GNOPPIX, and Ubuntu (5.10 Preview) releases. Next up, the
Firefox 1.5 Beta 1, which encompassed a great deal of improvements,
welcomed Mozilla fans and following the browser release, Mozilla
Thunderbird 1.5 Beta 1 became available for download. Among the various
improvements, the Thunderbird mail client now supports inline spell
checking, phising detector, Podcasting and RSS improvements, and
integration with server side spam filtering. Today, we have our usual
slew of new snapshots from Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 Beta 1 to visually
document some of these many updates.
