Thunderbird 115 - odd lack of packaged options beginning to raise eyebrows? - sh.itjust.works

Thunderbird 115 has been out over a week now and the lack of packaged versions, especially Flatpak, is beginning to raise eyebrows. Gotta admit, I’ve been curious at the lack of a Flatpak version since the day they announced it’s “availability”. An article: https://www.webpronews.com/thunderbird-leaves-linux-users-waiting-for-much-hyped-version-115/ [https://www.webpronews.com/thunderbird-leaves-linux-users-waiting-for-much-hyped-version-115/] Linux Cast episode: https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=G-OvQw2JRWI [https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=G-OvQw2JRWI]

The Thunderbird team periodically does this and holds back upgrades for existing installs.

The Flatpak author is waiting for Thunderbird’s approval before publishing 115.
