Candidate builds for Lightning 1.0 beta2 in 32 languages are available as of now for:

• Windows
• Linux (32 bit)
• Linux (64 bit, contributed build)
• Mac OS X

A corresponding build of the Provider for Google Calendar is also available at those locations.

The candidate builds will be available for testing for up to 2 weeks. We want to release the final Lightning 1.0b2 together with Thunderbird 3.1, so we may choose to shorten this period by a few days

Techbuzz describes how to integrate Google calendar into Thunderbird.

Thunderbird is undoubtedly the best email client around, but the only thing missing out of it is a simple calendar. As a fulltime blogger, Calendar means productivity for me. I was really disappointed when Thunderbird 2 was released without the calendar functionality. I won’t blame Mozilla for that, they’ve already built a calendar app called Sunbird, but having a separate app for calendar isn’t a great deal for me, I wanted a calendar inside Thunderbird.
