I could confirm it for LO 4.1.0.0 beta2.
Thunderbird doesn't appear when you choos "try to connect to an existing database" in the wizard.

If I open a database, that has a connection to thunderbird (from older versions of LO) it shows bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64741 , which first appeared with LO 4.0

Joren: I don't know if you could sync your bibisect repo but it could really help here (if you have some time of course! :-))

Confirming also on Mac OSX.

I see the TB entry on LO 4.0.3.3, it is however missing in :

Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 0581c61c8b61041692befac101466190767e6597

Shouldn't this be a blocker for 4.1 release ?


Alex

As mentioned at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64741#c8 the Mozilla and Thunderbird drivers were reworked in 4.0 and the new implementation had some problems.

The other bug also suggested that the rework was done by David Ostrovsky => adding him to CC.

BTW: I searched /opt/libreoffice4.1/share/registry for the string "Icedove". It is mentioned in 4.1 only in the "res/registry_<main>.xcd" and nowhere else. Note that it was mentioned also in "main.xcd" in LO 4.0. I wonder if this might be the reason for this bug. I wonder if it might be related to gbuildisation or so.

Anyway, if I understand the bug #64741 correctly, the driver did not work in 4.0 => it does not matter if we show it or not in the menu => of course, we need to make it working again but it should not suddenly start blocking the 4.1.0 release => lowering severity a bit.

So the unit test sems to be broken here:

make cnnectivity 
warn:cppuhelper:16833:1:cppuhelper/source/shlib.cxx:501: loading component library failed: file:///home/davido/projects/libo/solver/unxlngx6/lib/libmorklo.so

##Failure Location unknown## : Error
Test name: connectivity::mork::MorkDriverTest::test_metadata
setUp() failed
- An uncaught exception of type com.sun.star.loader.CannotActivateFactoryException
- loading component library failed: file:///home/davido/projects/libo/solver/unxlngx6/lib/libmorklo.so

When i add the following to connectivity/DriversConfig.cxx:245

SAL_WARN("connectivity.urls", "URL: " << aIter->first);

URL: jdbc:*
URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:*
URL: sdbc:calc:*
URL: sdbc:dbase:*
URL: sdbc:embedded:hsqldb
URL: sdbc:flat:*
URL: sdbc:mysql:jdbc:*
URL: sdbc:mysql:mysqlc:*
URL: sdbc:mysql:odbc:*
URL: sdbc:odbc:*

No mention of "mork". Why?

Adding Stephan here.

Update: after reboot, the mork driver unit test works as expected.(In reply to comment #6)
