The SeaMonkey team has been made aware of some security problems found in its all-in-one internet suite software. As a result, SeaMonkey 1.1.4 is being released today, fixing those security vulnerabilities. With this release, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its siblings Firefox and Thunderbird, which were issuing updates for the same problems recently as well.
The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions, including the SeaMonkey 1.0.x series, which is not updated for those known security issues any more, to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old Mozilla Suite or even Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 1.1.4 version. All those older software packages suffer from a large and steadily increasing number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. SeaMonkey 1.1.4 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security fixes.
SeaMonkey 1.1.4 is available for free download from the open source project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org.
Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.3 closes several security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions. With that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its siblings Firefox and Thunderbird, which are issuing updates for the same problems this week as well.

Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.2 closes several security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions. With that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its siblings Firefox and Thunderbird, which are issuing updates for the same problems this week as well.
Despite a simultaneous release of a last update to the SeaMonkey 1.0 series, SeaMonkey 1.0.9, the project team strongly urges users to upgrade to SeaMonkey 1.1.2, as the old 1.0 series will not be maintained further. The 1.1 series, on the other hand, is being actively maintained and also features some new functionality such as spell checking in web forms and mail tags.
In addition to users of older SeaMonkey versions, the SeaMonkey team strongly
urges users of the old Mozilla Suite and Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to
SeaMonkey 1.1.2. Those software packages suffer from a large and rising number
of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained.
SeaMonkey 1.1.2 is a drop-in replacement, providing the same basic suite
functionality plus additional features, without known security problems but
with current updates.
The SeaMonkey project team took over development of the all-in-one internet
application suite after Netscape and later the Mozilla Foundation ceased to
work on it. Under the new name, users are provided with current versions of the
established software package.
SeaMonkey 1.1.2 is available for free download from the open source project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org.
Following the Gecko security update releases a few days ago, the SeaMonkey
project issued new security and stability releases today for its all-in-one
internet application suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.1 is
now available
for download, fixing
several
security vulnerabilities as well as a list of problems users of
SeaMonkey 1.1 reported to developers. See the
release
notes for a complete list of changes.
Additionally, the project also released SeaMonkey 1.0.8, which fixes the
security vulnerabilites listed above also for the SeaMonkey 1.0 series, without
adding the new features available in 1.1 and later versions.
SeaMonkey 1.1 is now available. Powered by the same engine as Firefox 2 and the upcoming Thunderbird 2, SeaMonkey 1.1 includes numerous enhancements including more visible security indicators in the browser and enhanced phishing detection for e-mail, a new tagging system for e-mail that supersedes labels, support for multi-line tooltips in web pages, and previews images in tab tooltips. Other changes include inline spell checking in the browser, an updated version of ChatZilla, and a significantly improved startup script on Linux. See the release notes for a more complete list of changes.
SeaMonkey 1.0.7 is now
available. This release contains important fixes for
several
security vulnerabilities and various stability improvements. The SeaMonkey
Council recommends that all users upgrade. More information can be found in the
release
notes.
As a sidenote, the SeaMonkey team is still working on stabilizing code for
the upcoming SeaMonkey 1.1, which is expected to be released in the next few weeks.
The SeaMonkey Council is pleased to announce
two new
releases simultaneously:
First, SeaMonkey 1.0.6 continues the successful 1.0 series of the SeaMonkey
all-in-one internet suite, fixing
several
security vulnerabilities and various stability issues (see the
release
notes for more information). The SeaMonkey Council recommends that all
users upgrade to this stable, well-tested version.
Second, the SeaMonkey project has been working hard on improving its
software even further, adding new features such as tab previews, spell checking
in the browser, an e-mail tagging system, an improved Linux startup script,
better new mail notifications, an updated Chatzilla IRC client, and more. A new
preview showing off those improvements,
SeaMonkey
1.1 Beta, was also released today. This version is intended for developers
and testers (but not yet for end users). The SeaMonkey Council encourages
interested people to test the Beta and help identify the remaining bugs. Be
sure to read the
release
notes before testing though, as they list not only the new features but
also a number of known issues. Any problems that are not already known should
be reported to the developers via
Bugzilla
so that the final SeaMonkey 1.1 release can continue the traditional high
quality expected from the Mozilla suite and the SeaMonkey 1.0 series.
SeaMonkey 1.0.5 is now available. This release contains important fixes for several security vulnerabilities and various stability improvements. The SeaMonkey Council recommends that all users upgrade. More information can be found in the release notes.
SeaMonkey 1.1 Alpha is now available. Our first release on the path to SeaMonkey 1.1, it is intended only for developers and testers — not end users. Some of the most exciting new features include: page previews in tab tooltips, spell checking in text boxes, a new e-mail tagging system, a better startup script for Linux users, the ability to use drag and drop to open URLs in new tabs in between existing tabs and an updated version of Chatzilla. For developers, the "Storage" component is also included.
Due to a bug involving playing of media in the browser that slipped into SeaMonkey 1.0.3, it was necessary to release an updated SeaMonkey version. All users should upgrade to SeaMonkey 1.0.4. More information can, as always, be found in the release notes.
SeaMonkey 1.0.3 is now available. This release contains important fixes for several security vulnerabilities and various stability improvements. Also, a bug introduced in SeaMonkey 1.0.2 that sometimes caused the URL Bar to stop working properly when switching tabs has been fixed. The SeaMonkey Council recommends that all users upgrade. More information can be found in the release notes.
SeaMonkey 1.0.2 is now available. This release contains important security and stability improvements, and the SeaMonkey Council recommends that all users upgrade. More information is available in the release notes.
SeaMonkey 1.0.1 is now available. All users of previous SeaMonkey versions are encouraged to update, as SeaMonkey 1.0.1 includes multiple security fixes along with other critical bug fixes. Please see the release notes for more information.
The SeaMonkey Council is proud to announce SeaMonkey 1.0, the first end-user release of their internet suite. This open source application, available as a free download from its mozilla.org-hosted website, features a state-of-the-art web browser and powerful email client, as well as a WYSIWYG web page composer and a feature-rich IRC chat client. For web developers, mozilla.org's DOM inspector and JavaScript debugger tools are included as well. SeaMonkey 1.0 is one of the most complete, powerful, and secure internet software packages available today.
SeaMonkey comes with the the look and feel familiar to users of its predecessors, the Mozilla Application Suite and Netscape Communicator packages, but adds many new features as well as back-end changes that improve security, stability and performance. Some highlights are: drag&drop reordering of tabs, phishing e-mail detection, support for a single shared inbox when using multiple accounts, and support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
The SeaMonkey project is a community-based project hosted at mozilla.org that emerged around Mozilla's suite codebase when the Mozilla Foundation announced it would discontinue further development of its suite product. The new project is dedicated to keeping this suite alive and developing it into an even more modern and complete internet software package.
Today, the SeaMonkey Council announces a new developer release, SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta. Compared to the Alpha version released in September, SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta enhances the product with new features like tab drag and drop, but also is the first release branded with the new SeaMonkey logo, which was unveiled earlier this month. While much of the core code is shared with the popular Firefox 1.5 browser, SeaMonkey comes with the the look and feel familiar to users of its ancestors, the Mozilla Application Suite and Netscape Communicator packages.
SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta features more than just a state-of-the-art web browser, though: the application comes with a powerful email client as well as a WYSIWYG web page composer and a feature-rich IRC chat application. For web developers, mozilla.org's DOM inspector and JavaScript debugger tools are included as well. SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta is one of the most powerful and secure internet software packages currently available, even though this release is only for testing.
This public Beta release includes all features planned for the SeaMonkey 1.0 final release, which is expected for January 2006. Due to a large number of bug fixes, it should also be even more stable and convient to use than the previous Alpha release, and the SeaMonkey Council calls for testers to use the product and report any further glitches they might find, so that the 1.0 release can be not only the best available internet suite in terms of features, but also in quality, security and stability.
The SeaMonkey project is a community-based project hosted at mozilla.org that emerged around Mozilla's suite codebase when the Mozilla Foundation announced it would discontinue further development of its suite product. The new project is dedicated to keeping this suite alive under the name "SeaMonkey" and developing it into an even more modern and complete internet software package.
After months of submissions and selection processes, the SeaMonkey Council is announcing a new logo for its project and application. The project's initial call for logo submissions was answered with no fewer than 197 different proposals submitted by Mozilla and SeaMonkey community members. From those 197 logos, amongst which were many good options, the Council selected the new logo after many discussions and a long decision process.
The new
artwork centers around an abstract figure resembling a "Sea Monkey",
colored in a light, cyan/blue color, standing out from a dark blue circle with
a wave pattern in the middle. This design, created by Alex Butin, not only
looks professional and polished, but also fits perfectly as an icon on a modern
computer desktop and is easily recognizable even in small sizes. Additionally,
the look matches the rest of the mozilla.org family (Firefox, Thunderbird,
Camino, Sunbird) quite well. And while the soft shapes and color shades create
a very polished impression, the waves and the figure make people feel the new
dynamic the internet suite application has gained through the new project.
SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta, the first testing release including that artwork, is planned for release within the next few weeks, with a final SeaMonkey 1.0 release soon after that. Development versions, so-called "nightly builds", should have the new logo and artwork available within the next few days.
The SeaMonkey Council is pleased to announce its first release, SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha. Developed from the codebase of the previously successful Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha contains lots of new features, and numerous enhancements and bugfixes compared to the last Mozilla suite versions. Internally, much of the core code is shared with the current Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 browser, but from the outside, it represents the look and feel that long-time Mozilla and Netscape users have learned to love.
SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha features more than just a state-of-the-art web browser, though: the application comes with a powerful email client as well as a WYSIWYG web page composer and a feature-rich IRC chat application. For web developers, mozilla.org's DOM inspector and JavaScript debugger tools are included as well. SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha is one of the most powerful and secure internet software packages currently available, even though this release is only for testing.
Note that SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha does not presently include official SeaMonkey artwork, as the SeaMonkey project is still open to logo submissions from its community. The new logo will be selected from these submissions and integrated into the upcoming SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta, which will be the last version before SeaMonkey 1.0 ships later this year.
The SeaMonkey project is a community-based project at mozilla.org that emerged around Mozilla's suite codebase when the Mozilla Foundation announced it would discontinue further development of its suite product. The new project is dedicated to keeping this suite alive under the name "SeaMonkey" and developing it into an even more modern and complete internet software package.
While current experimental "nightly" builds of the SeaMonkey application as well as the upcoming SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha testing release feature a rather primitive logo, the project seeks more professional artwork for the future. Everyone with sufficient graphical skills is invited to help, as the new logo will be selected from community submissions. For more about criteria, and information on how to submit your proposal, please see the SeaMonkey artwork page.
When the Mozilla Foundation announced its "transition plan" for the long-lived Mozilla-branded application suite, this move meant not only a refocus of the Foundation to its new premier products Firefox and Thunderbird, but also a transition of new suite code development to an independent group. This group now is proud to announce its existence and its new project name, "SeaMonkey".
The SeaMonkey name was adopted by the project leading group (dubbed "SeaMonkey Council") after considering a long list of community-proposed names - it was decided that the long-lived internal code name still suited the project best. It was no easy decision, but it has a certain appeal - the suite is already known by SeaMonkey within the developer community. The council is working on having this name trademarked with the help of the Mozilla Foundation.
While the Foundation doesn't consider the new SeaMonkey application to be an officially supported upgrade path for Mozilla suite users, it provides the newly founded project with assistance in the form of much-needed project infrastructure, and cooperates with SeaMonkey developers. Development of SeaMonkey produces many improvements which are contributed back to the Mozilla codebase, much of which is shared with products including Firefox and Thunderbird.
The group is planning to deliver an Alpha version of its first release, SeaMonkey 1.0, within the next few weeks. Users of Mozilla 1.7.x or even the Mozilla 1.8 Alpha and Beta releases will see a new, improved version of the application they are used to. Netscape 7.x users will also feel at home with the new SeaMonkey suite.
SeaMonkey contains a state-of-the-art web browser and a feature-rich mail and newsgroups client, along with a simple yet powerful HTML editor, web development tools and an IRC chat application.
On the web, the SeaMonkey project can currently be found at its mozilla.org address, http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ - the project leading team (SeaMonkey Council) can be contacted via email at seamonkey-council@mozilla.org.
