The release notes state that:

"Thunderbird 1.0.5 is a security and stability update that is part of our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for our customers. We recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version.

Important Note

To avoid crashes or other problems, do not install a new version using the installer into the same folder as an older zipped installation.

Here's what's new in Thunderbird 1.0.5:

* Several security fixes (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Thunderbird)
* Stability improvements "


It is best to use the Add or Remove Programs control panel applet to uninstall the old version of Thunderbird before installing a new version.

In my extensive 5 minutes of use of Thunderbird 1.05, I have experienced no problems!

John,

Thanks for including the install tips! Note that this Version includes the fix for the Mozilla Thunderbird XBL Controls Script Execution Vulnerability, which was posted yesterday.

I urge all Firefox and Thunderbird users to upgrade to the new 1.0.5 Versions.
