Of course I immediately tested with my old version 68.4.2, and was offered the new version.  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>During a quick check the update installed without any issues and I could not detect any errors. In the last updates of Thunderbird it once set my calendar to read-only, so I could not change any appointments. This could be changed via context menu. But when updating to 68.4.2 I lost all calendar entries and had to enter them again. This time the entries have been preserved. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you are still using the old 60's version of Thunderbird, this update is now also available. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thunderbird.net\/en-US\/thunderbird\/68.5.0\/releasenotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">release notes<\/a> the above statement is confirmed (but was already so with version 68.3.1).&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Thunderbird version 68.5 provides an automatic update from Thunderbird version 60. If you have installed Lightning, Thunderbird's calendar add-on, it will automatically be updated to match the new version of Thunderbird. Refer to this <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/calendar-updates-issues-thunderbird\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calendar troubleshooting article<\/a> in case of problems.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The following changes have been made in the new version of Thunderbird:&nbsp; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support for the Client Identity IMAP\/SMTP Service Extension\n<li>OAuth 2.0 authentication support for POP3 accounts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, the following fixes have been made in the version:&nbsp; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Status area goes blank during account setup\n<li>The calendar: Could not remove the color for default categories\n<li>The calendar: Prevent multiple loading of calendar components\n<li>The Calendar: The Today section did not maintain the width between sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The readme also states that there have been security fixes. These are listed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/security\/advisories\/mfsa2020-07\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this page<\/a>. One fix is rated 'high', while the other fixes are rated moderate or low.  <\/p>\n<p>Known issue: When upgrading from Thunderbird version 60 to version 68, add-ons are not automatically updated during the upgrade process. However, they are updated during the add-on update check. It is of course possible to reinstall compatible add-ons via the Add-On Manager or via addons.thunderbird.net.  <\/p>\n<p>The system requirements for the different operating system versions (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thunderbird.net\/en-US\/thunderbird\/68.0\/system-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">also<\/a>):  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher\n<li>Mac: Mac OS X 10.9 or higher\n<li>Linux: GTK+ 3.4 or higher<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The download is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thunderbird.net\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
