The actuel beta and the nightly version are very fine, buit when is the time to make it a RELEASE for all users ?

Thunderbird follows the Firefox ESR releases - see https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar The next Thunderbird release version will be TB52 scheduled for March. There are only beta versions in between the release versions.

I have no idea. What would be the benefit of using the CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher in Thunderbird? Which mail servers do support it?

There is no calender .

Thunderbird has a built-in calendar. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-calendar-integration

Ist there a way to find upcoming release notes for thunderbird?

For release versions: https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/

For the current beta (see 'What's new?') https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/channel/

This solves not one of my questions. First i meant not an calendar inside thunderbird. I meant an "upcoming release calendar" I know what is inside the actual releases and the already released calendar is not what i wanted to know.

Actually all new compiled Mailservers with exim4.88 compiled with openssl1.1.0 will have the new securitry-ciphers CHACHA20-POLY1305, like the most common pop3/imap server dovecot, which servers now this new TLS-cipher when compiled with a modern openssl.

The Thunderbird released version 45.* is only supporting AES128-GCM ciphers and nothing better. The actuel beta and the nightly version are very fine, buit when is the time to make it a RELEASE for all users ?

Thanks, that answers my question. Could it be marked somewhere on the webpage, that thunderbird follows the ESR releases of Firefox? Regards Torsten
