Seamonkey version shuffling
I see that the release of 2.49.1 is beginning to show up on some of the third-party download sites. To me, that's a positive indication that 2.49.1 is almost at official release. I know that some of these sites will start showing downloads as soon as they hit the official Mozilla server, although I'm content to wait until formally offered at https://www.seamonkey-project.org/. At the moment, I'm actually running Adrian Kalla's 2.51 build (in Windows), because I wanted to make sure I was running with security updates that hadn't yet hit the official releases. Now, with things better sorted out with Firefox ESR builds, I'm happy to move back to the official releases, but I want to make sure I do so without disrupting my installations. I *think* the procedure I want is: - Back up current profiles - Uninstall the 2.51 installation - Perform new install with the 2.49.1 installer. The one thing that I'm unsure about is fallback, if something goes wrong. I'm not seeing any downloads of Adrian's installers (and I think I did mine at about 2.49, with subsequent incremental updates). Anything that I need to be aware of before attempting this transition?

That would be great FRG, perhaps with the use of wetransfer.com ? Dirk Frank-Rainer Grahl wrote: I am with you but providing 64 bit versions with the current infrastructure is not trivial. Also mapi is still broken in all TB and SeaMonkey 64 bit versions. This will be resolved over time. Even Firefox only switched the x86 users to x64 with the current version. If you need a 64 bit version I can provide a local build. In fact using it right now :) FRG Dirk Munk wrote: Thanks, but there is no 64 bit Windows version.

Can't be that many, XP and Vista were primarily used as 32 bit versions, but I guess from Windows 7 onwards people installed 64 bit versions. Frank-Rainer Grahl wrote: > Can you recommend any of these? No. 2.53 is the end of the line for probably a few months to a year at least. Mozilla really broke the code with all the removals and more to come. I have 2.55 patched up with a bunch of interim fixes but most add-ons are broken. Use 2.49.1 candidate 4 if you want a stable release now. I can provide a 2.53 but if you are after security updates this will only be good till Fx 57 is released. FRG Dirk Munk wrote: Thanks FRG. At present I'm using 2.53a1, and I've noticed there are 2.54a1 and 2.55a1 versions. Can you recommend any of these? Dirk Frank-Rainer Grahl wrote: Which version / build id? This was broken in 2.53+ for some time and fixed 4 weeks ago.

And indeed, by completely reinstalling Windows you can use 64bit Windows 10. If possible add some memory, and you want recognize your PC, so much faster can it be. When I went from Windows 7 to Windows 8, it was remarkable to how much snappier Windows was. And that was from 64 bit Win 7 to 64 bit Win 8 on a notebook with 32GB. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

One of the last times I tried updating to a fresh install of Win 10 using my existing Win 7 x64 Pro key, it worked. The free tool Produkey from Nirsoft will let you get your Windows key and Microsoft has a free tool called Windows 10 Media Creation Tool which will allow you to download the Windows 10 ISO. If you have a spare (or perhaps a friend with a spare) used hard drive, you could always burn the Windows 10 ISO to DVD and try installing Windows 10 to a spare hard drive so as not to mess up your existing setup. There are a few 500GB hard drives on Newegg for between $40-50 new. So no need to buy a new machine, just upgrade the OS. Good luck. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I haven't used Windows since WinXP. When I went to Linux I used 32 because I needed compatibility for some volunteer work. That has changed, but I've seen no advantage in switching to 64 bit even though my machines have 64 bit processors. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
