Lightning 0.8 for x86_64

A new version of Lightning and still no pre-built package for x86_64.

The good news is that it looks like the package built from source contains all of the standard locales, so those of you who commented on my 0.7 build that it was missing their favourite locale should be happier with this one. Give it a whirl and let me know how it goes.

Lightning 0.7 For x86_64

I'm a big user of Lightning in Thunderbird, and also of Google Calendar, but for whatever reason no-one feels inclined to provide pre-built binaries for the x86_64 architecture. This is a bit strange, because it's not like 64-bit is new or experimental, but there you go.

Anyway, as no-one else has built it I figured that I would take the plunge. Of more interest to you, no doubt, is that I've made it freely available at http://www.devzero.net/thunderbird/lightning-0.7-x86_64.xpi

I've tested this with Ubuntu Gutsy and it seems to work fine, please comment on your own experiences below.

Update: I've also created a version for Lightning 0.8 with full locales, read about it here.
