We've just pushed the Thunderbird 1.0.2 update to FTP (it may take an hour or more to hit all the mirrors, though.) This update is the first security release for the wildly successful Thunderbird 1.0 - which has already seen about 5 million downloads.

The Thunderbird 1.0.2 release resolves several important security issues since 1.0 and all Thunderbird users are encouraged to ugrade. You can find more about the security issues over at the Known Vulnerabilities page.

Thunderbird 1.0.2 can be downloaded at:

Windows
Linux
Mac

In case you're wondering whether or not you missed a release, the answer is no. We shipped Thunderbird 1.0 in early December and had planned our first security update to coincide with the Firefox 1.0.1 security update. Before we could get Thunderbird 1.0.1 finalized, a new issue surfaced that required we ship another round of releases (Firefox, Thunderbird, and 1.7.x) so we shelved the Thunderbird 1.0.1 release and started to tackle the issue we needed fixed for a 1.0.2.
