• More search engines: Google and DuckDuckGo available by default in some locales
• During account creation, Thunderbird will now detect servers using the Microsoft Exchange protocol. It will offer the installation of a 3rd party add-on (Owl) which supports that protocol.

• Address book search and auto-complete slowness
• Plain text markup with * for bold, / for italics, _ for underline and | for code did not work when the enclosed text contained non-ASCII characters
• While composing a message, a link not removed when link location was removed in the link properties panel
• Encoding problems when exporting address books or messages using the system charset. Messages are now always exported using the UTF-8 encoding
• If the 'Date' header of a message was invalid, Jan 1970 or Dec 1969 was displayed. Now using date from 'Received' header instead.
• Body search/filtering didn't reliably ignore content of tags

The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding again to work around this issue
• Fix shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP password
