• The new Add-ons Manager
• The address book can now read Address Book data
• New Crash Reporter (Breakpad)
• Fewer false positives when searching
• JavaScript engine improvements

As become their habit of late, Wired has taken a preliminary look at Thunderbird 3 alpha 1:
We don't suggest you rush out and download it unless you're a true early adopter; this release isn't stable and lacks many of the features planned for Thunderbird 3's final release.
If you do have larger than average stones and do try out Thunderbird 3 alpha 1, nay, Shredder, then please share your impressions below...
