v0.1.3 — automatic updates

Automatic updates are here. From this version on, Thunderbird checks this
repository for new releases and updates the add-on on its own — no more manual
reinstalls. (Thunderbird does not require add-on signing, so this works without
any signing step.)

One last manual step

This is the version that introduces the auto-update mechanism, so it has to
be installed by hand once:

1. Download tb-thread-summarizer-0.1.3.xpi below.
2. Thunderbird → Add-ons Manager → gear → Install Add-on From File….

From 0.1.4 onward, updates install automatically.

CHANGELOG.

v0.1.2 — correct message-count plural

Small fix: the panel now shows "1 messaggio" (correct Italian singular) instead of "1 messaggi", in both the generation line and the summary meta line.

Install: download tb-thread-summarizer-0.1.2.xpi below → Thunderbird → Add-ons Manager → gear → Install Add-on From File.

v0.1.1 — clearer errors + persistent OLLAMA_ORIGINS

Maintenance release.

• Clearer error when Ollama can't be reached. The panel now explains both
  possible causes — Ollama not started, or started without extension permission
  — and shows the OLLAMA_ORIGINS command inline. (A CORS rejection reaches the
  browser as a plain network error, so the two cases can't be told apart at
  runtime; the message now covers both.)
• Persist OLLAMA_ORIGINS across reboots. New
  scripts/persist-ollama-origins-macos.sh installs a per-user LaunchAgent so
  you don't have to re-run launchctl setenv after every restart.

Install

Download tb-thread-summarizer-0.1.1.xpi below → Thunderbird → Add-ons
Manager → gear → Install Add-on From File….

v0.1.0 — first release

First public release of Thread Summarizer for Thunderbird.

Adds a Riassumi thread button to the message header that summarizes the
current email thread with a local Ollama model — TL;DR, key points,
actions & deadlines, and who is waiting for a reply. Nothing leaves your
machine.

Install

1. Download tb-thread-summarizer-0.1.0.xpi from the Assets below.
2. Thunderbird → Add-ons Manager → gear icon → Install Add-on From
   File… → pick the .xpi.

Requires Thunderbird ≥ 128 and Ollama running locally
(e.g. ollama pull gemma3). One-time setup so Ollama accepts the extension:

launchctl setenv OLLAMA_ORIGINS "moz-extension://*"   # macOS, then restart Ollama
