ThunderBirthDay is an add-on of Mozillas Email program Thunderbird which I'm developing in my spare time. It enables the calendar add-on Lightning to display birthdays from contacts of the address book as regular events. It's available in many languages! You can download it from addons.mozilla.org.
On this site you can find documentation for the extension, announcements of new versions, ways to leave a feedback and other useful information.
ThunderBirthDay 0.5.0 released [updated]
5. July 2011 - 9:44 — rootYesterday, I submitted a new version of ThunderBirthDay to http://addons.mozilla.org, as promised recently. Its only change is that it now supports Thunderbird 5. It now usually takes a couple of weeks to get the new version approved, but you can already download it here:

If you experience any problems, or just want to let me know that it works, please drop a line here. Thank you!
Update:
ThunderBirthDay for Thunderbird 5 under development
29. June 2011 - 14:13 — rootYesterday, both Thundbird 5 and a compatible version of Lightning (Lightning 1.0b4) were released. Unfortunately, no compatible version of ThunderBirthDay is available, however it is currently under development and will be released as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks a lot for your patience!
ThunderBirthDay is compatible with Thundbird 3.1
2. January 2011 - 20:07 — rootThunderBirthDay is marked as compatible with Thunderbird 3.1 since the release of the latter. This information is made available through the Mozilla Update System. Every time Thunderbird starts, it retrieves compatibility information from this system. If ThunderBirthDay should be disabled on your machine, saying that it is not compatible with your version of Thunderbird, just restart Thunderbird while you're connected to the internet. After the restart, ThunderBirthDay should be enabled again and working fine. If not so, please drop a comment below. You can read more about Mozillas Compatibility Updates here.
ThunderBirthDay 0.3.3 - count down for Thunderbird 3!
29. November 2009 - 22:31 — root
Today, I released ThunderBirthDay 0.3.3! It is already the third version compatible with the upcoming Thunderbird 3, but it is uncompatible with prior versions of Thunderbird. Therefore, the new versions are retained in the sandbox until now. It works already greatly, you can download it and try it out!
ThunderBirthDay 0.2.8.1 is out!
15. September 2008 - 16:52 — root
With the release of Lightning 0.9 RC1, the final release of the new Lightning version is approaching, so it's time to release a new version of ThunderBirthDay as well! Other changes than the compatibility with Lightning 0.9 are the neat logo from icondrawer.com and a link to this site.
You can already download the new version from the sandbox, if you're registered on AMO. It'll probably by reviewed soon and appear on the public page as well.
