Version 0.5.4b5
A safe, stable beta supporting TB v115.
This version supports v115, except for missing the toolbar menubutton. You will need to use the Tools menu, or the context menu on the folders you've selected, to start a duplicate message search. The comparison criteria can be configured only from the extension's options dialog in "Tools | Add-ons & Themes".
Q: Why are you releasing a beta version?
A: A proper version would require the toolbar button to work, but it's currently broken. Otherwise this would a non-beta release.
Q: Why is the menubutton gone?
A: In the course of the transition to v115, the Thunderbird developers removed the application toolbar in favor of a new "unified toolbar". Unfortunately, they did not document how regular chrome, like this extension, one can add new elements to that toolbar; and it's rather tricky, because its contents deleted and re-generated frequently, so that "just" straightforward adding the button doesn't work.
----
Other than the compatibility change, additional improvements in this version are:
* Now setting the completion percentage indicators or the "meteros" effect in the status bar during different stages of processing, indicating progress.
* More consistent reporting of what's occurring right now in the status bar, including clearing it when the search is done.

Version 0.5
Changes since the 0.4.x line:
* Dropped the "(Alternate)" suffix from the name. From now on this extension will be known as "Remove Duplicate Messages".
* Logic change: Missing values are now assumed to have (unknown) unique values, so they are not considered to be duplicates of other missing values in the same field ; a (hidden) preference controls this behavior.
* **Compatibility**: Compatible with Thunderbird 68, 78 and probably all beta versions in-between.
* **Compatibility**: No longer compatible with Seamonkey 1.x, Toolkitized Seamonkey (2.x)
* **Compatibility**: No longer compatible with Thunderbird 30...67.
* **Fix**: Status flag comparison criteria was present only on the menubutton but not in the preferences dialog - now it appears in both.
Internal changes (no user visibility):
* No longer using JARs
* Reworked the directory structure
* Dropped some files only in use by previous TB versions (but not all files for now)
* Using John Bieling's "WindowListener" from [here](https://github.com/thundernest/addon-developer-support/), as an extension loader; see [this guide](https://github.com/thundernest/addon-developer-support/wiki/Using-the-WindowListener-API-to-convert-a-Legacy-Overlay-WebExtension-into-a-MailExtension-for-Thunderbird-78) regarding how to use it.
* Now using service getters provided by `Services.jsm` and `MailServices.jsm` whenever possible.
* Now logging using a plain and simple `console.log()`/`console.error()`.
* **Fix:** Corrected the default value of the hidden preference for allowing MD5 substitutes for Message ID (no effect on behavior).

* Now properly handling messages missing their message ID.

Version 0.3
- Can now abort search by pressing the Escape key (although key responsiveness during message body comparisons is poor in Thunderbird 2.x and good with Thunderbird 3.x and Seamonkey 2.x).
- Can now choose to search a folder for dupes without including its subfolders in the search.
- Can now mark a set of folders as containing the originals, so that only dupes of these messages are found, and the review dialog marks the 'non-original' copies for deletion.
- Search progress now reported every short while in the status bar.
- Search time-memory balance changed for search including body comparison - now using more memory and significantly less time when comparing many bodies (quicksort instead of Theta(n^2) algorithm).
- Review Dialog: Improved responsiveness when toggling 'keep' status.
