Thunderbird slow down its development, will focus on security and stability

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”39″>

Thunderbird mail client that had long been taking advantage of rapid development cycle also adopted the Firefox browser for months. However, those responsible for this development have decided to focus on other issues, which will cause Thunderbird developments will be much slower .

Thunderbird thunderbird 500x357 slows their development, will focus on security and stability

So says Mitchell Baker, Mozilla Foundation president, on his blog, which states that “ stability is most important, and continuous innovation Thunderbird is not a priority to the efforts of the Mozilla products “.

That means that in the coming months we will see how the email client fails to include new features or changes “relevant” in appearance or functionality, and will focus solely on safety and stability.

are two very important aspects of any development, of course, but that speech sounds to us Thunderbird Mozilla is not worth too much , which has decided to devote fewer resources to this customer. It is an understandable choice from the point of view, but sad when you consider that it was one of the email clients most popular Open Source.
