SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta is released

Hi,

It's finally done, the SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta has released now!

Thanks to everyone who helped testing, and to everyone who reported
bugs, and who helped to fix them! I hope you'll continue to support us
in the future, the final 1.0 release hasn't happened yet - and it will
only be the beginning of a series of SeaMonkey releases

See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/sea...html#2005-12-19 for
the Beta announcement,
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/sea...README.html#new
for what's new in this release, and
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/ for downloads...

I hope you'll have fun with the SeaMonkey suite,

Robert Kaiser

Its the Suite which has continued from Mozilla. Comprises web-browser,
advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing

Will it be able to use Firefox extensions? And how much of the 'old'
Mozilla suite is still there?

In general, no. Some of the Mozilla Suite extensions may work,
though.

All of it, AFAICT.

I am disapointed about the Icon they chose....

The mozilla one was horrible... fortunatly the FireFox one is one of the
best icons around. Now this? Whis is too abstract... I dont like it..

Icons are important.. more than developers can imagine... and in the
browser the throbber icon is pixilated... shame.....

and they still have this old outdated theme....YUK! this is at least 6 years
old!

You can change the theme... yeah right.. you dont have many options out
there.

and some of us conservative likes it.. :-)

Ok please format your computer and install DOS or windows 3.1 at most...
and connect to the internet with a 9600 baud modem, since you are
conservative.

You should also give up posting on newsgroups... smoke signaling is more
traditional.

Mozilla is still around, but development has been halted. It will still get
all the security patches that Firefox gets for the next 2 years. So, it's
still viable.

The problem with both Seamonkey and Mozilla is that there are far fewer
extensions and themes available than for Firefox. It probably wouldn't be
hard at all to adapt FF extensions to them, but nobody in the Mozilla camp
seems very interested.

That's a bit snippy for a (top posted) reply to a respected and helpful
subscriber with provenance in this ng, isn't it.

Your post reveals much more about you than about VKP
