Available Thunderbird 12 with few new

At the same time Firefox 12 also has updated the email manager Thunderbird. So Thunderbird is now available 12 with little news. The timing of both versions helps avoid confusion for users and have a prior calendar versions but does little if one does not work on improving the product or occurs with bug fixes and some more.

Because the main novelty of which can claim is that now in the global search results will include excerpts from the message. In addition to this option for developers with news about the previous version now supports Thunderbird add-ons that provide different types of local mail storage. And of course correction of errors in the previous version. And some more.

Government’s data retention time being on

The federal government will bring a new law for the time being re-introduction of data retention on the way. The implementation of the relevant EU directive, despite the increasing pressure from Brussels decided to continue accordingly.

This was reported by the tabloid ‘Bild’ in its current edition, citing German EU circles. Background of the decision is to be the ongoing dispute in the ruling coalition over the issue. In particular, federal Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger (FDP) fights for years against the event-free storage of telecommunications data of every citizen.

The Union parties, in particular Hans-Peter Friedrich (CSU) in his role as Minister of the Interior, but also some other hard-liners, however, had repeatedly demanded that collected in 2010 by the Federal Constitutional Court Act in a new form on the way to bring. At least in this issue of the coalition partners but remained tough.

If the Union is now, however, was probably not willing to let fail already wobbly coalition on this issue. In the worst case, new elections would have been the result, which would have been according to the current state of the polls probably stood there without a previous partner.

Now the German government will allow the action announced by the European Commission probably coming towards him. This was an ultimatum to 26 April set. Because of the non-implementation of the directive threaten Germany, but probably also countries like Romania, where the constitutional courts stopped the retention also fines of several million euros.

Whether it ultimately gets that far, but is not sure yet. Even at the EU level, the retention is on trial. The initiated at the EU Commission review of the Directive is currently still coming.
