Betterbird (soft fork of Thunderbird) now available in omniverse repostory
Betterbird, a soft fork of Thunderbird, is now available in the omniverse repository.
It was built from source on - and for - Artix Linux.
According to its home page:
Betterbird is a fine-tuned version of Mozilla Thunderbird, Thunderbird on steroids, if you will.
Betterbird is better than Thunderbird in three ways: It contains new features exclusive to Betterbird, it contains bug fixes exclusive to Betterbird and it contains fixes that Thunderbird may ship at a later stage. Please refer to this feature table for examples. This should give you an impression of where the project is headed. More information on why we're doing the project can be found at the FAQ.
It is possible to install the same dot release of Thunderbird in parallel and switch between Betterbird and Thunderbird on the same profile without problems and without needing the -allow-downgrade command line switch.
To be able to select an existing profile run command:
betterbird -p
The usual advice and disclaimer applies; always make sure to have a recent and valid backup.
