Thunderbird Monthly Development Digest - February 2025 - The Thunderbird Blog

Monthly releases are here, the Calendar UI rebuild is underway, more Exchange support features land in Daily - and much more!

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t. Use @Codeberg.

Po dlouhe dobe jsem otevrel XCode, stahnul SDKcka pro iOS a bohuzel zjistil, ze se ve vyvoji pro iPhony moc nezmenilo. I ve svete Swiftu a SwiftUI resim stejne bizarni problemy jako za dob drevniho mobilniho vyvoje. Ten ekosystem se z pohledu DX vubec nikam neposunul.

Ale ja se nedam! Unreleased v nativni podobe uz brzy na vasich iPhonech!
