I don't think there are any. Basically, they're having a severe machine 
problem and it needs to be fixed/replaced to resume builds. it doesn't 
help that it is a long Memorial Day holiday weekend for Americans too. :(

You are referring to the Beta version. If you activate the link on that

Our machines automation, which creates the compressed files is part of
our overall release process so we are not planning on doing so at this time.

It is relatively easy to create though, and if there is enough
demand/need for it I can, the problem is that anything resulting from
those sources is untested/unqualified from us.

Are you going to at least release a compressed file with the sources? Or
are they affected by this problem, too?

Hey Everyone

So SeaMonkey 2.18 was supposed to be out today, so where is it?

We have had a hardware error in the systems that allow us to reliably
generate the release — Without these systems anything we create will be
of unknown quality/stability.

In order to meet our own quality and stability requirements we are NOT
releasing SeaMonkey 2.18.

While there is a chance we could have these systems back up in time to
do an intermediate release (say something corresponding to a possible
Gecko 21.0.1) we can not promise nor plan for it at this time.

We are actively working on repairing the system and its data, once that
is complete we will go forth with a new BETA based on the SeaMonkey 2.19
train, and we expect to release SeaMonkey 2.19 on time, on June 25′th.

We thank you for your understanding.


Thanks for the heads up. :(
