* CVE-2018-12405: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 64, 60.4, and
Thunderbird 60.4
Other bug fixes and changes:
* FileLink provider WeTransfer to upload large attachments
* Thunderbird now allows the addition of OpenSearch search engines from a
local XML file using a minimal user interface: [+] button to select a
file an add, [-] to remove.
* More search engines: Google and DuckDuckGo available by default in some
locales
* During account creation, Thunderbird will now detect servers using the
Microsoft Exchange protocol. It will offer the installation of a 3rd
party add-on (Owl) which supports that protocol.
* Thunderbird now compatible with other WebExtension-based FileLink
add-ons like the Dropbox add-on
* New WebExtensions FileLink API to facilitate add-ons
* Fix decoding problems for messages with less common charsets (cp932,
cp936)
* New messages in the drafts folder (and other special or virtual folders)
will no longer be included in the new messages notification
* Thunderbird 60 will migrate security databases (key3.db, cert8.db to
key4.db, cert9.db).
* Address book search and auto-complete slowness
* Plain text markup with * for bold, / for italics, _ for underline and |
for code did not work when the enclosed text contained non-ASCII
characters
* While composing a message, a link not removed when link location was
removed in the link properties panel
* Encoding problems when exporting address books or messages using the
system charset. Messages are now always exported using the UTF-8 encoding
* If the "Date" header of a message was invalid, Jan 1970 or Dec 1969 was
displayed. Now using date from "Received" header instead.
* Body search/filtering didn't reliably ignore content of tags
* Inappropriate warning "Thunderbird prevented the site
(addons.thunderbird.net) from asking you to install software on your
computer" when installing add-ons
* Incorrect display of correspondents column since own email address was
not always detected
* Spurious 
 (encoded newline) inserted into drafts and sent email
* Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes launched the
Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties dialog
* Fixe Cookie removal
* "Download rest of message" was not working if global inbox was used
* Fix Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland) when a file was
sent via a folder using "Sent to > Mail recipient" due to a problem in
the Thunderbird MAPI interface
* According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing non-ASCII
characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can lead to problems with
non-compliant providers, for example office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and
POP3 USER/PASS authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding
again to work around this issue
* Fix shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP password
