You will find at least 20 blocker bugs when trying to use Enigmail v1.9.x on Thunderbird 57.
The install.rdf file in the release specifies that the maximum supported Thunderbird version is 55 -- the 1.9.x series of Enigmail does not work on Thunderbird 56 and newer and never will. If you want to use Enigmail on Thunderbird 57 and newer, then you have to use a nightly build of Enigmail. -Patrick On 15.12.17 22:57, Eyal Rozenberg wrote: > Let me add a newbie comment to that question... > > I just downloaded the 1.9.9 tarball, installed it on Thunderbird 57.0b2, > and am getting error messages such as: > > NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff > (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIXPCComponents_Utils.import] mime.jsm:16 > <anonymous> resource://enigmail/mime.jsm:16:1 > <anonymous> resource://enigmail/mimeVerify.jsm:22:1 > <anonymous> chrome://enigmail/content/enigmailMsgHdrViewOverlay.js:19:1 > > Is it a known bug, should it not support Beta versions, or - is 1.9.9 > not really ready? > > > Anyway, I too a anxious for a new release, less for the bugfixes and > more for the compatibility with newer TB versions. > > Thanks, > Eyal > > > On 12/15/17 10:17 PM, Daniel Kahn Gillmor wrote: >> hey Patrick and other good enigmail users-- >> >> I see from git that enigmail 1.9.9 has been tagged, but i don't see it >> for download in either of these places: >> >> https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/download/source-code >> https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/download >> >> I do note that the tarball is actually available (as is the .asc >> detached cryptographic signature) at: >> >> https://www.enigmail.net/download/source/enigmail-1.9.9.tar.gz >> https://www.enigmail.net/download/source/enigmail-1.9.9.tar.gz.asc >> >> Is there a reason that this release isn't more widely announced? >> >> I appreciate that it appears to have a bunch of bugfixes from the Cure53 >> audit. >> >> --dkg >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> enigmail-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: >> https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net >> > > _______________________________________________ > enigmail-users mailing list > [email protected] > To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: > https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net >
