Version 0.24
- The Mailbox Alert action for Message Filters now works with Thunderbird 68
- Unfortunately, the changed APIs do mean that it now no longer works with older
versions (Thunderbird 60 and before), so from now on, older versions of TB
are no longer supported by new versions of Mailbox Alert. From now on, the
minimum TB version is 68, and I will start removing legacy code in the future.
- The %folder macro no longer adds a trailing / to the final folder (thanks to https://github.com/rnc)

Version 0.16.4
Fixed a bug where defined alerts could not be deleted anymore. This was caused by what appears to be an internal interface change, so this fix might have also fixed a few other issues hitherto unknown.

Version 0.16.1
0.16.1
o The final file that I uploaded as 0.16 had missed a few final
cleanup updates and fixes, one of which can cause some messages
not to appear, and the fade out loop problem was still present.
These issues should be fixed in this version.
The changes for 0.16 were:
o Sound playback should no longer be interrupted
o Reworked the internal triggering system; reintroduced delays
to prevent multiple messages in one folder causing multiple
alerts, and fixed the 'double alert' issue for filters. This
should also fix the problem where sometimes alerts weren't
fired at all.
o Removed the call to updateFolder() which may be the cause
of seemingly unrelated caching problems in Thunderbird
o Fixed a looping issue in the closing of fading alerts

Version 0.14
- New option in 'global preferences', open the message in
existing window (and raise it)
- Alert message window is immediately closed after it is clicked
- Added a global 'mute' option (in the tools menu)
- In an earlier release I lost a lot of translations, these have been
re-added, though most are not complete, so some english might
still show up. Once I figure out how to use babelzilla again, I'll
update them as they come along.
