Latest reported version via thunderbird_versions.json is a beta/testing release
We keep track of the latest version of Thunderbird via this link: https://product-details.mozilla.org/1.0/thunderbird_versions.json
Since some time it reports the 131.0 version as the latest stable version. I wonder if this is correct, because the release notes page doesn't mention this version at all.
Response from json: LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_ALPHA_VERSION : 54.0a2 LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_DEVEL_VERSION : 132.0b2 LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_NIGHTLY_VERSION : 133.0a1 LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_VERSION : 131.0 THUNDERBIRD_ESR : 128.3.0esr THUNDERBIRD_ESR_NEXT :
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/ Doesn't mention the 131 version.
When manually adjusting the version number in another release notes page, it will show the actual release notes. But it mentions that this release is for testing purposes only. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/131.0/releasenotes/
Is it possible to change the versions.json to actually show the latest stable version? And perhaps do the same as the firefox_versions.json, to also include the additional ESR channel (esr115).
Thank you in advance

check thunderbird.net for all downloads. 131 is listed as a monthly release, now in test. It doesn't show in releases until it is through with test phase.
I don't want to scrape that site. That's why I use the thunderbird_versions.json to get the channel names.
And use the LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_VERSION as channel for the latest stable. But this seems to be the test release now.
Hence the question to add a channel for the latest stable. Or point the LATEST_THUNDERBIRD_VERSION channel to the latest version.
