I have just upgraded from Thunderbird 15 to 16 and then found that Lightning 1.7 is not compatible with Thunderbird 16, leaving me without a calendar.
What are my options?
Should I try and go back to Thunderbird 15 or is there someway of finding a version of Lightning that is compatible with Thunderbird 16?
I need to have a working calender and have been happily using Lightning for many years.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 32-bit if that is any help
Lightning 1.8 has been uploaded

Lightning 1.8 should also be pushed out with Thunderbird 16 when it is released to the main archive (with the exception of 10.04 which will need to go to lucid-backports and might lag behind a day or 2)
You can try the Thunderbird Add-on 'Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks' to bypass this problem.
This is a workaround though, realize that once you do this you may introduce bugs with Thunderbird or your Add-ons.
It's a good idea to keep a backup of your Thunderbird profile to restore from if anything breaks or fails. Here's how.
