Mozilla Thunderbird 135 Released with XZ Packaging for Linux Binaries
Coming only a week after Mozilla Thunderbird 134, the Mozilla Thunderbird 135 release is the first to adopt XZ packaging for the Linux binaries, similar to what Mozilla did with the Firefox 135 release. This change leads to faster unpacking, smaller file sizes when downloading, and better integration with modern distros.
In addition, Mozilla Thunderbird 135 adds support for specifying a cookieStoreId when creating a space, the ability to ignore unsupported subkeys/signatures when importing compliant OpenPGP keys, and support for CardDAV address books and calendars to use the same OAuth2 code as mail.

Thunderbird 135 Brings Fixes for IMAP, POP3, and Calendar Users
Mozilla has just unveiled Thunderbird v135, a much-loved and widely adopted desktop email client, as a continuation of the stable 128 “Nebula” release, which is now up for grabs for testing.
But first, let’s make this clear—this version is not intended for general use; instead, it offers a glimpse into what the next stable release might hold. Those curious to try it out can do so on Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.15 or later, and Linux with GTK+ 3.14 or higher.
