vcs Support 0.5.4 and 0.5.4.1

Edit 05/04/08: Version 0.5.6 is now available

Recent changes in the way Sunbird and Lightning handle timezones have meant that I've had to create two new versions of vcs Support. Version 0.5.4 is compatible with Sunbird and Lightning up to version 0.7 and version 0.5.4.1 is compatible with nightly builds 0.8pre from around 04/12/07 onwards.

This version introduces the option to export with either ANSI or UTF-8 encoding. There's no UI for it, instead you need to toggle the value of extensions.vcssupport.export_as_ANSI in the config editor to change. The default is UTF-8 encoding. To access the config editor, go to Tools | Options | Advanced | Config Editor and type "vcs" into the filter box.

Version 0.5.4 is available, as usual from AMO at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4721. I've also put a copy here, which doesn't require registration, but I'd prefer if you could download from AMO if possible. This version will not auto update.

Version 0.5.4.1 is available from here. The good news is that it should now auto update as well. The bad news is that it's only compatible with version 0.8pre.

(Edit 17/01/08 - version 0.5.4.2 for Sunbird/Lightning 0.8pre after around 01/01/08 is now available from here. This fixes import which broke in recent nightlies. (It's only a one line change so it didn't merit a post of it's own))
