Just a quick heads up - due to the password manager switch, there may be
an issue with the latest Thunderbird nightly and older lightning builds.

I've fixed one issue on Mac and Linux where left-over files weren't
removed whilst updating from one build to another. I have forced new
nightlies which should be out in about 3-4 hours time.


I think there may also be an issue if you have an up to date Thunderbird
nightly and older lightning builds.

The mac lightning nightly builds haven't been generated yet. The Linux
and Windows ones have (and I only have Mac set up for this, so I can't
test fully).

I'll try it again in a few hours time once the new builds are out.

I use the latest Thunderbird trunk builds *and* the latest Lightning
trunk builds, and since the PW manager was switched, the contents of my
Google CalDAV calendars are not showing in Lightning anymore (the
calendars have a yellow warning triangle to the right of their names).

Once the calendars are in this state, I don't know any way to force
Lightning to re-prompt me for the passwords of those calendars to
re-establish the connection. So now I'm stuck without access to my
Google CalDAV calendars.

Q: Is there a way to make Lightning "reload" a CalDAV calendar?

Q: Is Lightning known to be currently broken? Is there a bug I can follow?

Thanks!

Hi Peter!

This should be fixed in today's Lightning nightly builds (which aren't
ready at the moment)! Also see bug 473973.
