I've just posted the following over on the SeaMonkey support & dev groups. Not sure if it's an issue with the Lightning addon update process, or SeaMonkey's addon update process, but I'd appreciate it if you folks can take a look. The issue(s) that I ran into with the default upgrade to 1.8b1 were with adding/changing repeat events. 1.8b1 had dual 'Start/End' dates & any attempt to provide a repeated event for a weekly ended up filling the calendar with events for every day instead of say every Sunday. My attempts to edit/create/delete events in the calendar totally screwed up my calendar... thankfully I had a backup & was able to restore. ==== When upgrading from 2.12.01 (Lightning version 1.7) to 2.13.01, SeaMonkey does a check for compatible add-ons. The "Found Compatible Add-Ons" for Lightning comes back as Lightning 1.8.b1. * Don't install 1.8b1!* Lightning 1.8b1 hassome serious bugs with adding new events (as I discovered after allowing it to get installed on several of my machines). * Instead, when you get the "Found Compatible Add-Ons", *uncheck* Lightning 1.8b1. Then go to: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/lightning/> and download & install Lighting 1.8. If you've already installed 1.8b1, don't use the calendar & instead go to the 1.8 addon link, install 1.8 and then restart. Afterwards your calendar & data should be OK. Of course it's always wise to backup prior to making any changes/updates... Note to SeaMonkey devs: please fix this so that the linux addon update doesn't point to 1.8b1. No issues found on Windows updates - those go directly to 1.8. ====
