If you already have Clippings installed, it will be upgraded for you if automatic extension updates are enabled.

Monthly update: April 2024

April is a busy month for me, with work continuing on the next version of Clippings for Thunderbird which also includes new features for Sync Clippings. I will be coming back to the current versions of Clippings and Clippings for Thunderbird to release a minor update with a bug fix for Clippings Manager.
