Lanikai Alpha 1 released
Rafael Ebron
is now available for download [1]. Lanikai is built on top of the Gecko
1.9.2 platform. While this alpha version is considered to be stable, it
is intended for developers and members of our testing community to use
for evaluation and feedback. Users of this latest alpha version of
Thunderbird should not expect all of their add-ons to work properly with
this milestone.
The main goals of this release is to find out about possible problems
caused by the changes in the underlying platform. Notable changes include:
* Several improvements to IMAP.
* Several fixes for Smart Folders, message filters, and attachment
handling.
* Several design improvements and corrections to the interface.
* Download Manager is now accessible as a menu item (Tools > Saved
Files).
* Stability and memory improvements.
For a more detailed list of bug fixes, see the full bug list [2].
Downloading
Please read the release notes [3] before downloading for more
information about this release including known issues [4].
Testers can download Lanikai Alpha 1 for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Community chat about Lanikai can be followed at the Thunderbird 3.1 wiki
[5] and on irc.mozilla.org in #thunderbird.

> Lanikai Alpha 1,
Just made a first test of compatibility with our current extension code
and found it's throwing an error with
"sFolder.GetSubFolders()"
That part of the code is OK with TB2/3.01.
Didn't saw any note about a change for that. Did I missed something here?

Are you sure? As far as I can tell, nsIEnumerator GetSubFolders() was
replaced with readonly attribute nsISimpleEnumerator subFolders between
TB2 and TB3.

I already had made provision in the code to differentiate if the
extension is running in Tb2 or TB3. So it was not about the folder, but ..
The point is this: my 'switch' fails because of the prefs string checking:
var tbVersion =
_prefs.getCharPref("general.useragent.extra.thunderbird");
From that I check for the version number including the TB string:
(tbVersion.search("Thunderbird/3.").
Now I see that's not the 'best' method, it fails because Lanikai has:
"Lanikai/3.1a1".
I remember there was a thread about checking the app and version, but
AFIR it was not that excellent.
Reducing the check to (tbVersion.search("/3.") would do it .. but is
there a better method, independent of release or alpha etc ??

User agent sniffing is always going to be fragile, why don't you check
API capabilities? If the attribute subFolders is there, use it...

That's the best and most reliable way to get the version number as it
gets it from the app code itself and not something which can be changed
via prefs.
Although as Thomas said, using something like
if ("subFolders" in sFolder) {
let foo = sFolder.subFolders;
// ... do stuff with foo
}
else {
let foo = sFolder.GetSubFolders();
// ... do stuff with foo
}
might be a lot simpler.

I already told him to do capability sniffing in an earlier thread, but
he didn't want to do it that way.
