We explain our numbering convention and our different channels, which comes from Firefox, and the difference between ESR, Release, Beta, and Daily. Find out why we're encouraging to use the monthly Release channel, but how this won't take anything away from ESR. Learn more about what channel is right for you (especially if you use add-ons), how to help us with using Beta and Daily, and how to safely move between ESR and Release. And as always, we finish with a community shoutout!\nResources: \nWhat Train is It Now: http://whattrainisitnow.com\nMonthly Release Channel Blog Post: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/03/thunderbird-release-channel-update/\nChoosing a Release Channel: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/choosing-thunderbird-release-channel\nTesting Beta Support Article: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-beta\nTesting Daily Support Article: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-daily\nRelease Channel Support Article (with info on safely downgrading): https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-release\nAdd-on Compatibility Add-on: https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/addon-compatibility-check/\ntilorenz's Calendar grid patch: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D251992","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B5ynGQFp_GbhsVbLPA5qd62YBMODUXk96BA5MrWC9KI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jZGVj/ZTliZjBkYjgzMjg0/YzA1M2E1MDk5NTll/ZWIyNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
