   * CVE-2016-5824 DoS (use-after-free) via a crafted ics file
   * CVE-2018-18501: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 65 and Firefox ESR
     60.5
   * CVE-2018-17466: Buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read in ANGLE library

   * CVE-2018-12405: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 64, 60.4, and

   Other bug fixes and changes:

   * FileLink provider WeTransfer to upload large attachments
   * Thunderbird now allows the addition of OpenSearch search engines from a
     local XML file using a minimal user interface: [+] button to select a
     file an add, [-] to remove.
   * 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.
   * Thunderbird now compatible with other WebExtension-based FileLink
     add-ons like the Dropbox add-on
   * New WebExtensions FileLink API to facilitate add-ons
   * Fix decoding problems for messages with less common charsets (cp932,
     cp936)
   * New messages in the drafts folder (and other special or virtual folders)
     will no longer be included in the new messages notification
   * Thunderbird 60 will migrate security databases (key3.db, cert8.db to
     key4.db, cert9.db).
   * 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
   * Inappropriate warning "Thunderbird prevented the site
     (addons.thunderbird.net) from asking you to install software on your
     computer" when installing add-ons
   * Incorrect display of correspondents column since own email address was
     not always detected
   * Spurious &#xA; (encoded newline) inserted into drafts and sent email
   * Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes launched the
     Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties dialog
   * Fixe Cookie removal
   * "Download rest of message" was not working if global inbox was used
   * Fix Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland) when a file was
     sent via a folder using "Sent to > Mail recipient" due to a problem in
     the Thunderbird MAPI interface
   * According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing non-ASCII
     characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can lead to problems with
     non-compliant providers, for example office365.com. 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
