Q: (debian-10) Why Thunderbird "Daily"?

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

When launching Thunderbird via debian-10-dvm I'm greeted with "Welcome to
Daily" ("You are using the daily version of Thunderbird, which means you get to
experience the absolute newest Thunderbird - fresh out of the build system! But
with great power comes great responsibility, we hope you’ll take the time to
report bugs and provide feedback on your experience using the daily version and
help make the next Thunderbird release as awesome as possible.")


The About says it's version 68.5.0 (64 bit).

Who can explain?

Regards,
Ulrich

What's to explain? (Perhaps the fact that you get this message when I
dont when I opened Tbird for the firts time.?)
Debian has packaged a "daily build" to give the "newest" Thunderbird, at
the time of packaging. When the package is updated you'll get a newer
version.
68.5.0 is the latest build of Thunderbird.
