From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flathub still shows the old version and the github page has been archived. The main site doesn't even have an option to choose your download package.
I've already installed 115 but this doesn't seem new user friendly.
Ya I’m confused why the GitHub repo isn’t updated to 115 and it’s archived…
I believe it's mentioned in an issue in the official Thunderbird repo that from now on the Flatpak is maintained by the main Thunderbird dev team, so the Flatpak repo is archived and all Flatpak packages from now on will be uploaded directly by the devs.
Yeah this. The official devs took over. Why the delay happened in the first place.
