Yes. The SeaMonkey project does not provide these.

Yes. If we are a movie we would be in postprocessing now:)

The build is done and just needs to be copied into the final location:

https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/candidates/2.48-candidates/build1/


As far as I know this will be the final. ewong just ran into problems
with some update scripts. Speaking of updates. Unless you get it from
your Linux distributor updates will not work. You need to download the
full installer and install it manually. ewong moved the build to new
distribution servers but gave up for now making updating from the old to
the new work. Hopefully this will be fixed for the next update.

If you are happy with Adrians 2.49.1 don't bother. 2.49.1 still has 2
bugs with images in mails and geolocation notification but if you have
not found them yet you won't :)

Are you counting ubuntuzilla as a linux distributor?  That is how I 
obtain my seamonkey updates at this time, other than manually installing 
Adrian's build.

That would be a version still in development and thus likely has several
bugs not yet fixed or even known.  To avoid such bugs, use the latest
official release for end-users: 2.46.

This is bad advice, in my opinion.

SM shares 95% of the code with FF and TB.

SM 2.46 is based on FF 2.49 which has been unsupported
for several months.

No, 2.46 is not bug-free.  However, most of its bugs are known and
reported at .

Updated versions may have unknown issues, but at least
the glaring security issues have been fixed.

Regards.



AIUI. The core SeaMonkey developers are still working on getting 2.48 
released.


Unless you built your own version of 2.49.1 (as Richmond has done) then 
you are using Adrian's build of 2.49.1.


Which although unofficial, the SeaMonkey developers give their approval 
to use.


I'm sure 2.48 is imminent, since they announced progress a little over a 
week ago.

You should be more specific whether you're using "Blogs & News Feed", or 
"Live Bookmarks" (or else) for this feed.  As far as I see date order in 
the former is just right, if you sort by date.  The later seems to list 
entries in the order returned from the server, and I'm currently seeing:

These being listed in exact given order in the live bookmark.

As to why this server returns a last year entry in the middle of

This doesn't look like a "year 2000" bug. That's more a result of the 
ambiguity of years represented by just two digits so, for example, it's 
not certain whether 24/10/66 refers to 1966 or 2066.



What's the RSS feed's URL?

I think it is this one:

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/rss


The article in question doesn't seem to be currently included in that 
feed (presumably its an entry you downloaded previously) so I can't tell 
for certain, but my suspicion would be that the wrong date was included 
in the RRS data. Perhaps 30/11/02 (presumably 2002, not 1902!) is the 
date the article was digitised or uploaded to their website, whereas 
24/10/1966 looks like the original print publication date.

I noticed that there is no RSS icon in the URI area when I load the
cited Guardian news article.

How long have you subscribed to an RSS feed from the Guardian?  I notice
that, when I subscribe to a new feed, I often get a lot of old feed
messages from that source.
