    Thunderbird moving to monthly updates in March

    Description:
    The Thunderbird project has announced that it is making its Release
    channel the default download beginning with the 135.0 release in
    March. This will move users to major monthly releases instead of the
    annual major Extended Support Release (ESR) that is the current
    default. One of our goals for 2025 is to increase active installations on the release channel to at least 20% of the total installations. At last
    check, we had 29,543 active installations on the release channel,
    compared to 20,918 on beta, and 5,941 on daily. The release channel installations currently account for 0.27% of the 10,784,551 total
    active installations tracked on stats.thunderbird.net.
