I wonder if Mozilla pulled it. I get 17.0.2 no matter which link I try.

Added: And this is from the internal updater:

Thunderbird 17.0.2 is the latest release, it is what would have been Thunderbird 18

Thunderbird has started to follow a different version numbering system than Firefox. Thunderbird will follow the ESR (Extended Support Release) version numbers, so the next version scheduled to be released will be 17.0.3 due out on February 19th. This is likely to continue until Firefox 24 is released, then I believe the release version of Thunderbird will be Thunderbird 24, followed by 24.0.1, then 24.0.2. Confused :grin:

The associated Mozilla bug report is Build Thunderbird ESR and Mainline from a single repo

Edit: I have located a document that gives more details about the change - https://etherpad.mozilla.org/tb-releases" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks, Tony. I thought that I had missed a version since I was still running 17.0 and the updater brought me to 17.0.2

Leave to me to get the strange results! :groan:
Maybe I caught a slightly open window where 18.0 was showing?
