This release fixes installation on Thunderbird 1.0, a "cutoff icon"
glitch on KDE, and a problem with the Russian localization. Unnecessary
library dependencies have been eliminated, allowing the XPIs to work on
older systems without libstdc++.so.6, Pango, and Cairo.
The extension was updated to support Thunderbird
1.5 pre-releases. (Thunderbird 1.0 packages are
still available.) By popular request, an option to
always show a tray icon was added, allowing you to
minimize or restore a window. Support for mail
indicator LEDs on various laptops was added.
Localizations for more languages were added.
