it appears symlinking /usr/share/hunspell as dictionaries does not enable system-provided dictionaries anymore.
According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1587101, this is now achieved by setting the DICPATH env var.
I suggest updating thunderbird-beta-bin.desktop to use Exec=env DICPATH=/usr/share/hunspell /opt/thunderbird-beta/thunderbird %u so that this feature is restored.
@rko yes I guess you're right. I had always used 0 in my packages and never noticed there was official guidance on it. Sorry for bugging you.
Yeah, sure has never been 0 in Arch.
@aorth, are you sure? According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD
"When a new version of the software is released, this value must be reset to 1."
@rko you forgot to reset the pkgrel back to 0 with 74.0b1 release. This is a minor thing, I know... but for a new upstream version you should always reset the pkgrel back to 0.
Also please add StartupWMClass=thunderbird to the .desktop file
if anyone is interested I updated the PKGBUILD file to the b2 build. It can be downloaded here: http://ix.io/25eP
FYI: I'm having an issue with crashes on Wayland with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 since 71.0b3 and 71.0b4. This property is helpful if you are using fractional scaling in GNOME. I have raised the issue on Mozilla's Discourse forum:
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/thunderbird-71-0b4-crash-under-wayland-on-linux/49697
It looks like you forgot to change the package revision back to -1 on the last few releases.

In the interest of correct spelling, I decided to integrate CircleCode's suggested change to fix hunspell and make it required.
Chances are this is opinionated, but I think if you can afford to install Thunderbird, you can also install hunspell.
%uchange not implemented, not sure if this is a good idea.
