Final Release
This is a combined release of two BUGs: Attachment Reminder and LIBNOTIFY Notifications. I think, this could be the last patch for Attachment reminder. But, I am open to work more if needed.
My another big task is to make Thunderbird notify new emails through LIBNOTIFY. I have started working on it and set up the required environment for the BUG. Here is the [http://www.geocities.com/chinmay_patel@ymail.com/patch_06_INDIA.txt[PATCH]]. == 0.7 Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY + Tango Icons ==This release was a mix of three bugs. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment reminder bug]], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[Libnotify bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].  It looks like, the Thunderbird community doesn't need the integration of LIBNOTIFY at the moment. I have submitted couple of patches to the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[bug]], but it has no more requirement. Eventually, I have to drop the bug. Moreover, I am going through my worst period in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment Reminder]] bug because I am not having any work done. I am submitting the patches but it doesn't apply properly. They say that it the patch is bitrotten. What else can be happen if I they are checking the patch after the 2 weeks of upload date? But, I can certainly understand their busy schedule and try my best to get work done. My prospect bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons bug]]. Currently, I don't have any idea what is going on with that bug. I only know that I am going to do that bug. == 0.8 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==0.8 is the combined release for [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment Reminder Bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].  For the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment reminder bug]], I am getting somewhat impatience. I am trying my best and still not be able to get it done. Improper apply of the patch and building errors for the patch are killing me. I am not getting the reason why my patches are creating so much issues in other machines? I guess, I have to create the patch and ask David Humphrey, if he can apply my patch and build Thunderbird. Hopefully, next will be my last patch. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons bug]] is the most interesting bug for me. It contains some user interface stuffs that I like the most. In this bug, I have to apply the patch created by Andreas Nilsson, one of the community member, and make the patch compatible to the hg mercurial. In this bug, I have learned about combination of CSS, XUL and images in Thunderbird code.  Currently, I feel that I am getting all sorts of experience in the Thunderbird code. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I am feeling more satisfied and versatile. After working on all these bugs, I am more confident that I will be able to handle everything that comes to me in terms of coding. == 0.9 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==This release is a landmark to me. I got the Attachment Reminder fixed. Megnus came up with the patch including my errors fixed and adding some extra features. However, I still need to apply that patch, edit if required and ask for UI review. It will surely done by the end of the semester. Although I am almost done by Attachment Reminder, I have lot of work to do in Tango icons Bug. I have to merge all those separate icons images into one big image. Then I have to refer to that image from the Thunderbird CSS. Evenhough It sounds so easy, it requires a lot of manual coding. Apart from all the work that I have to finish, I will try my best to get this bug done in next two weeks. == Final Release ==I am so glad to announce that my Attachment reminder bug is complete. I just got the review+ from Megnus Malin. Now, I am just waiting for the UI review? I guess, there should not be any problem. Let us see how does it go? Plus, I have submitted a patch on the Tango Icons Integration Bug and asked for review. In this bug, I have merged the icons into big images for the performance purpose. Now, just waiting for the review. Hopefully, I will get the confirmation before my presentation on Friday.
