Mozilla officially released Thunderbird 24.0 Beta 1, an email and RSS client, for all the available platforms, including Linux.

The development of Thunderbird is powering on despite the fact that Mozilla has said that this project will not last for very long. The closure of Google Reader has really given this project a breath of fresh air.

Unlike Firefox releases that are always accompanied by a large feature list, the Thunderbird release only list fixes and performance improvements. This is to be expected because there is little to add to this great software.

Check out the official release notes for a complete list of changes and updates. Don't forget to check out our review of RSS function of Thunderbird.

Remember that this is a beta version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
