Nice work!

All we need now is a few non-sucky themes and updated add-ons. But overall
quite nice. Congratulations to the team and thanks for all the hard work.

The documentation, I am unsure if it is fixed. But you should not need
to worry about that.

If you mean the Extensions installed on updates... no it has not been
fixed, will not be for 2.1.

We *may* fix it, but I think the solution will be more of a mark
extension [x] disabled if you don't want it rather than don't stuff
into application folder, since we now push the extensions to the
profile anyway.

Which means that if you install 2.1 from scratch, including these
extensions, run once, and then uninstall, and re-install without the
extensions, you'll then STILL have those extensions in your profile,
since they install to profile on first launch.



No.  I meant the ability to update from a LOCAL .mar file.  See the bug
report athttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662677  and read
the comments, especiall starting at #13.

While the bug report itself is closed because the Wiki documentation has
been updated, the procedures did not work to update SM 2.1RC1 to
SM2.1RC2 using the partial .mar file.  I had expected a new SeaMonkey
bug report on this, but none has appeared yet.



Re-Read my answer.

The complete.mar works, the partial.mar will give you errors if you 
don't install certain optional extensions. (in a production version of 
SeaMonkey that downloads the updates itself, you'll get the complete mar 
when the partial fails).


If you did install all optional files, then the partial works.

I won't be changing the way the partial is generated here.

In Windows XP, I requested the properties for the SeaMonkey 2.1
executable seamonkey.exe.  On the Version tab of the Properties window,
I see 3 different version numbers:

*  At the top of the tab, File version: 2.0.1.4176

*  Under Other version information, File version: 2.0.1



I believe this relates to the Gecko installation that we built with, but 
I'm not 100% certain there.



*  Under Other version information, Product version: 2.1



This would be our version

In the installer, there is the custom install method.

It lets you chose whether or not to install
* Venkman (JS Debugger)
* Chatzilla
* DOMi (Inspector)
* DebugQA [pre/alpha/beta builds only]

If those extensions are missing from the *app* dir, the partial you are 
trying to install will fail. But on 2.1 at least, they are installed 
into the profile *from* the app folder, so you may already have them in 
your profile, but that won't affect the success/failure of the partial 
update.


As I said, the complete update will succeed.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Release Candidate 2

2011-06-06 Thread Justin Wood (Callek)
SeaMonkey 2.1 Release Candidate 2 is now available for free download [1] 
on the SeaMonkey website. We encourage testers to get involved [2] in 
discussing and reporting problems as well as further improving the product.


SeaMonkey 2.1 RC 2 includes a total of 21 languages, including en-US and 
brings our backend up to date with the latest Gecko (Firefox) releases. 
(Two new languages over what was in 2.1 RC 1, namely en-GB and tr)


We have a targeted Release Date of June 10, 2011.

This release candidate fixes the issue of our default themes being 
marked incompatible on first launch for some users.


It also, unfortunately has 2 known issues, that we feel we can fix for 
final without requiring an additional RC.

* SeaMonkey version reports as 2.1pre instead of 2.1
* Built in (developer) extension Debug  QA is shipped erroneously.

It appears to be working now on SM 2.1RC1.

While the fact that zooming is remembered on a site-specific basis is
indeed mentioned in the Release Notes, there is no mention that this is
controlled by a specific preference variable.

I find that this new feature is exceptionally annoying and have set the
preference variable in user.js to disable it.  I often go to Web sites
where some (but not all) pages have text too large or too small.  I view
the site in tabs.  If I zoom larger a tab with text that is too small,
this new feature reverses the zooming smaller of a tab for the same
domain with text that is too large.

There should have been a checkbox at [Edit  Preferences  Appearance 
Content] to control this feature.  The default should have been to
disable the feature.

Several things about zooming, not all merely affecting tabs --

1.  I can reliably recreate the problem with zooming a parent tab
affecting its first child and vice versa.

2.  I would expect that, when I close a tab, all zooming within that tab
would be forgotten.  This is not happening.

3.  I would expect that, when I zoom a page and it is the ONLY tab, that
the zooming would remain in effect until I either cancel the zooming or
terminate SeaMonkey.  Instead, zooming seems to follow the domain of the
page to which it originally applied.  If I select a link from a zoomed
page to a Web page at another domain, zooming is not applied.  If I then
go to another page at the same domain as the originally zoomed page,
zooming is again applied.  Without keeping track of what domain I am
about to visit, this is extremely annoying.  (Actually, it is very
annoying even if I keep track of the domains.)

4.  I would expect that, when I terminate SeaMonkey (all instances), all
zooming would be forgotten.  This is not happening.  Zooming is
remembered (as in #3 above), for the domain in which it was applied
during a previous session.

In SeaMonkey 2.0.14, zooming applied in only one tab.  It remained in
effect for all pages viewed in that tab until cancelled.  It also
remained in effect until the tab was closed or the browser was
terminated, after which zooming was forgotten.

It appears that the zooming is applied to a domain and is remembered for
that domain.  This would explain the transfer of zooming from a parent
tab to a child tab.  I only tested with pages all from the same domain
when I wrote the bug report.  I am closing bug #658936 and submitting a
new bug that better describes the problem and presents a less
complicated test case.

In NoSquint you adjust zoom level of everything, and also fonts

No, I'm not using NoSquint.

I use PrefBar and its basic Font- and Font+ buttons (with the space
between the word Font and the signs removed).  I also installed the
Font= button, which unzooms when I forget how many times I have selected
Font+ or Font-.

However, I have replicated the problem just by going to the menu bar and

Zooming Problem Resolved [was Re: SeaMonkey 2.1 RC]

 It appears that the zooming is applied to a domain and is remembered for
 that domain.  This would explain the transfer of zooming from a parent
 tab to a child tab.  I only tested with pages all from the same domain
 when I wrote the bug report.  I am closing bug #658936 and submitting a
 new bug that better describes the problem and presents a less
 complicated test case.

 
 I have closed bug #659731 and submitted bug #660735.  See
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660735.
 

The problem cited in bug #659731 was caused when the default value of
hidden preference browser.zoom.siteSpecific changed from false to
true with SeaMonkey 2.1.  I have closed the bug report.

How many other problems that I am seeing are caused by changed default
values of preference variables?

Seems Lightning 1.0b4pre has broken my UA, preventing me from using 
Yahoo! Mail Beta. When Lightning is disabled Yahoo! Mail Beta loads 
normally.


I suspected Lightning because I noticed my posts on the MozillaZine 
forums only showed Lightning 1.04bpre as my UA instead of the full build 
string.


I just installed the latest nightly and the results are the same. Also 
created a test profile without Lightning and Yahoo! Mail Beta worked. 
Installed Lightning 1.0b4pre and Yahoo! Mail Beta was disabled again.


Just to be sure I even downloaded and re-installed SM 2.1 RC1.

SeaMonkey 2.1 RC

2011-05-29 Thread Paul Bergsagel

I have just downloaded SeaMonkey 2.1 RC.

It is fantastic! Very stable (so far). Very easy to set up. I simply 
clicked on the SeaMonkey icon and the program checked all my add-ons for 
compatibility. Then it froze (although no biggie). After a reboot I 
relaunched SeaMonkey and all my previous settings were there (bookmarks, 
emails, passwords, cookies).


The main improvement in SeaMonkey is speed. It is very noticeably faster 
than 2.0.


BTW I am using an iMac (late 2006 24) running OS X 10.6.7 with 2 GB memory.

Try the 2.1 version of SeaMonkey. Even though it is still a RC (release 
candidate) it is very stable on my Mac.


Many thanks to all the SeaMonkey and Mozilla developers for the good 
work with SeaMonkey 2.1 RC.


What are other users experiences with SeaMonkey 2.1 RC?

 What are other users experiences with SeaMonkey 2.1 RC?

Since I installed SM 2.1RC1 on 13 May, I have submitted 13 bug reports.
 Only 8 are actually against SeaMonkey itself.  The others are against
Core and Toolkit, but I noticed them only because I had installed SM
2.1RC1.

I categorized only two of the actual SeaMonkey bug reports as major,
there being no possible workaround.  One is normal, two are minor,
one is trivial, and one is an RFE (request for enhancement.

Overall, I would consider SM 2.1RC1 to be good but not great.

The major bug reports:
#658936 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658936
#659731 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659731

I realise that Stefan is a Calendar/Lightning peer. However the bug 
issue still doesn't make sense to me regarding rss (or at all for that

Lightning completely replaces the Thunderbird/SeaMonkey user agent in
the protocol headers.

Further, his bug report states:
Now the headers only contain Lightning/1.0b4pre

I'm stating that with Lightning 1.0b4 I show no 'Lightning/whatever' at

Hi,
I tried Lightning 1.0b4pre with a German Version of Seamonkey 2.1 RC1:

 -  The Settings in the about:addons - Window can't be accessed
(jar:file:///C:/Programme/SeaMonkey/omni.jar!/chrome/messenger/content/messenger/preferences/preferences.xul
can't be found)

 - Activating/Deactivating Calendars in the left Pane inside the
Calendar-Window doesn't work or somehow needs the same setting set by
right-clicking on the calendar and activating/deactivating calendars in
the Properties-Page.

Is there already a german version ?
Will there be keyboard-shortcuts for accessing the calendar-tab from
within the mail-window or from the main menu ? (ctrl+shift+C/D didn't
work here with Lightning 1.0b2 and SM 2.0.x) ?

I have been using the latest-comm-central builds on SM2.1 rc1 (linux

I've noticed, though, that there's no l10n version for lightning miramar 
for linux x64 (whereas, there is an English version for linux x64, and 
there are localized versions for all other OSs), which I find quite 
annoying, because it's not nice to have the mail and newsgroups window

Is there a particular reason for that? Is there a way to get a localized

- Activating/Deactivating Calendars in the left Pane inside the

This are actually different functions.

The checkbox next to the calendar name in the left pane toggles only the 
calendar display. If unchecked the calendar will still be loaded, you 
will get reminders for the events in the calendar but you won't see the 
events in the calendar or task view.


The checkbox in the properties dialog can be used to completely switch 
off the calendar. The calendar will not be loaded and therefore you will 
not see reminders or events.



Is there already a german version ?


Localized test builds can be downloaded from 
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-comm-miramar-l10n/


Please note that if the localization is not up-to-date the test builds 
might not work at all and break in many ways. I think the page 
https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/dashboard/?tree=calendar10x shows the 
localization status for Lightning 1.0b4pre.

You should be able to access the Lightning preferences via the SeaMonkey

Then click on the Lightning branch of the preference tree to expand that

Hi!

SeaMonkey 2.1 is almost out of the gate. We need to make sure that the
Lightning version targetting SM 2.1 works well with it. So I need
volunteers to smoke test Lightning 1.04b on SeaMonkey 2.1

Lightning 1.0b4pre builds are here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-comm-miramar/
SeaMonkey 2.1pre builds are here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-2.0/

Lightning will integrate into the MailNews window and you can open new
Calendar and Task tabs via the mini buttons in the tabbar.

There is a long standing bug with Lighning - some RSS feeds stopping to 
work for me. Disabling Lightning helps. Anyone have similar behavior ?

some files from disk are mapped into memory and memory for code can be

Understand.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man1/memstat.1.html
quote
DESCRIPTION

 memstat   lists  all  accessible  processes,  executables,  and  shared
 libraries that are using up virtual memory.  To  get  a  complete  list
 memstat  has  to  be  run  as root to be able to access the data of all
 running processes.

 First, the processes are listed.  An amount of memory  is  shown  along
 with  a  process ID and the name of the executable which the process is
 running.  The amount of memory shown does not include shared memory: it
 only  includes  memory  which  is  private  to  that process.  So, if a
 process is using a shared library like libc, the memory  used  to  hold
 that library is not included.  The memory used to hold the executable’s
 text-segment is also not included, since that too is shareable.

 After the processes, the shared objects  are  listed.   The  amount  of
 memory  is shown along with the filename of the shared object, followed
 by a list of the processes using  the  shared  object.  The  memory  is
 listed  as  the  total  amount  of  memory  allocated  to  this  object
 throughout the whole namespace.  In brackets also the  amount  that  is
 really shared is listed.

 Finally,  a  grand  total  is  shown.  Note that this program shows the
 amount of virtual (not real) memory used by the various items.

The important hing to note here is the last two words: virtual memory. 
Processes reserve virtual memory for the chance that they might want to 
address that amount of memory at some time while they're running, but 
they usually don't use all of that virtual memory actively at any time.



I'd be interested in reading one of those blogs relating to memstat if
you have a link.


I don't think any I read talk specifically about memstat, but I've seen 
them talk about virtual memory usage compared to other measures.


Unfortunately, I right now don't find the posts that talked about the 
overall picture of this, I only find ones about details on memory 
profiling and trying to reduce memory usage.

plugin-container (expected) and libxul.so (not expected) seem to take up

Re: SeaMonkey 2.1 Release Candidate 1 Available for testing

2011-05-13 Thread MCBastos
Interviewed by CNN on 13/05/2011 00:12, Justin Wood (Callek) told the world:
 SeaMonkey 2.1 Release Candidate 1 is now available for free download [1]
 on the SeaMonkey website. We encourage testers to get involved [2] in
 discussing and reporting problems as well as further improving the
product.

 SeaMonkey 2.1 RC 1 includes a total of 19 languages, including en-US and
 brings our backend up to date with the latest Gecko (Firefox) releases.

 We have a targeted Release Date of May 19, 2011.


Since it hit RC stage, I decided to give it a try. Of course, I backed
up my profile first...

Well, it loaded fine, it seems to be working fine, generally speaking.
A number of extensions are deemed incompatible, including a couple
that really surprised me for not being already updated -- but quite a
lot are working (I guess those would be the ones where the developers
tagged maxversion as 2.9.9 instead of 2.0.9. We may still have some
fallback from overly-optimistic developers...). Anyway, I expect that
most of those extensions will trickle back into the fold over the next
few weeks -- at least half officially, the other ones by hacking the
maxversion after testing. Not an unexpected scenario overall.

What DID surprise me was that a few extensions and themes that SHIPPED
WITH 2.1.0 RC1 were also tagged as incompatible. Those were:

- Javascript Debugger
- Seamonkey Default Theme (that despite the fact that Seamonkey was, in
fact, USING the Default theme)
- Seamonkey Modern Theme

That happened in my original do-it-like-a-regular-luser-would-do-it,
install-over-the-old-version attempt. So I figured that was probably
because in 2.1 those were moved from the main application folder to the
user's profile, or so I understand. Well, perhaps the old files were
left there and were causing the problem? Let me try to fix it...

So, I uninstalled 2.1.0 RC1, reinstalled 2.0.14, UNINSTALLED 2.0.14 and
reinstalled 2.1.0 RC1. This time, I had the following results:
- Weirdly enough, Seamonkey 2.1.0 RC1 loaded with the Pinball theme,
which is not supposed to be compatible with 2.1.x.
- Both the Modern and Default themes were available. I could switch
to either one (but after I did it once, Pinball got tagged as
incompatible -- as it should be, by the way).
- Javascript Debugger was STILL tagged as incompatible.
- My bookmarks disappeared.

So, I figured that all that back-and-forth uninstall/reinstall hosed
parts of my profile, including the bookmarks. Since I have a backup, no
big deal, I had just to start over. I uninstalled RC1 AGAIN, but this
time I restored my original profile before reinstalling 2.0.14.

2.0.14 worked fine, and all my extensions were back. I took this moment
to uninstall the old Firefox Sync extension (which wasn't working
right anyway, and would be redundant under 2.1) and switch the theme to
Default.

Then I uninstalled 2.0.14. I checked the installation folder to make
sure that all the files were deleted (well, except for the Plugins
folder). They were.

Now I installed RC1. And... the problem with incompatible Default and
Modern themes IS BACK! I can't understand it!

So... I think there's still a few bugs with the installation/upgrading
process.

SeaMonkey 2.1 en-US String Freeze TONIGHT

2011-04-03 Thread Justin Wood (Callek)
As of tonight (April 3rd) at Midnight PDT, SeaMonkey will be locked 
under string freeze.


I was tempted to spin builds tonight for our b3 with l10nMerge, but I 
decided after skimming the l10n dashboard and seeing the number of 
strings that landed in our tree this past week (not to mention today), 
that I will tag/spin builds for beta3 Monday evening, around 9pm PDT or 
a bit later.


Consider this a request to update locales/request further sign off, etc.

We are basing SeaMonkey 2.1b3 against Gecko 2.0 (mozilla-2.0) for those 
of you who wish to build locally to test.


After tonight, we expect aproximately a month until 2.1 final, and en-US 
will remain frozen for SeaMonkey.


If there is a strong need for any en-US string changes, those will be 
evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with very strong reasons needed to 
accept. If we do chose to accept, I'll send along an l10n-note to this 
newsgroup.


The l10n tree we are using is the mozilla-2.0 l10n tree. Though the 
suite/ specific l10n files should be usable for comm-central-trunk 
(SeaMonkey 2.2) as well at the moment.


Followup-To set to m.d.l10n, if there are any questions feel free to 
contact me there.

Make a backup of your profile (which you should always do anyhow), and 
esp. your places.sqlite. SeaMonkey 2.1 (the Mozilla 2.0 platform) uses a 
format of that file that is not understood by SeaMonkey 2.0 (the Mozilla 
1.9.1 platform).
If it already happened, you should be able to get back your bookmarks at 
least by going into the bookmarks manager and restore older bookmarks 
from the Tools menu. Or you can try renaming the places.sqlite-corrupt

No, even though as with the previous search plugin solution, we have the 
Google search plugin set as the default, but you can easily set a 
different one in the preferences, just like before - just that the 
selection of other search providers you can install is now much larger 
as we support the same OpenSearch standard as other browsers.



May everything associated with Google be stripped from
SM 2.1 without ill-effect?


Just like with previous versions and just like with Firefox, you can 
surely do this. Mozilla would never make any of its products dependent 
on a single provide in a way that the user can't change it.

Please help testing SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 1 candidates!

2010-10-11 Thread Robert Kaiser
[Mostly resending with slight corrections to cover support and L10n 
groups as well with this message - this is a localized beta after all]


Hi,

The SeaMonkey team is getting closer to the next major release - and 
SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 1 has the vast majority of the expected big changes 
done already, with JaegerMonkey and all the web-facing Firefox 4 
features being at the edge of current development, as well as things 
like Data Manager and OpenSearch support on the UI side of things.
The list of major changes/features is up at 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey:Features:2.1 - and that page might 
not even be fully complete (it's a wiki, help supplementing it if you 
know items to add).


This is still new stuff and not a final release, so expect that many 
add-ons don't work correctly (some do, though), and don't trust it with 
any non-backed-up data (note that it will re-use your 2.0.x profiles).


Please report any bugs at bugzilla.mozilla.org, finding them and being 
able to solve them is what alpha testing is for, after all.


The candidate builds are up right now in the linux-i686, mac, and win32 
subdirectories of 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/2.1b1-candidates/build2/ 
- updates for 2.1 Alphas are available on the betatest channel. All 
those builds are available in 8 languages including US English this time.


Please test those updates intensely, as our automated verification runs 
showed strange results for complete updates and we're not sure yet 
what's going on there!


As always, the linux-x86_64 build is NOT OFFICIAL and will be listed as 
contributed build officially.


Localizers, please test the builds in your locale and fix any 
problems/glitches for the second beta, the tentative freeze for that 
will be around the end of October or start of November.


The platform code has seen a long list of changes, but 
SeaMonkey-specific ones are quite extensively as well, Bugzilla lists 96 
fixes in SeaMonkey-specific code done for this version alone: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=FIXEDtarget_milestone=seamonkey2.1b1


Please use the builds for any usage patterns you can think of, possibly 
also doing a https://litmus.mozilla.org/run_tests.cgi?test_run_id=7 
smoketest run on them. I know that this Litmus run isn't perfect, but 
it's the best we have right now.


The only issue we know of is that builds probably don't work reasonably 
for Mac PPC users, which is why we don't ship any updates any more on 
any 2.1* builds for this architecture, even though we still compile 
builds with theoretical support for the moment, but that's mostly for 
infrastructure reasons, we will likely switch to completely de-support 
PPC before the final 2.1 release comes around (this is due to Mozilla 
platform decisions that are out of our specific reach).


Thanks for your help!

free download. Please note that this pre-release version is still 
intended for developers and testers only. As always, we appreciate any

- A reworked bookmarks system.
- By default, tabs are opened instead of new windows.
- Address book toolbars can now be customized.
- Find in Page now works with a toolbar.
- New possibilites for web developers are supported, like CSS
  Transitions and the W3C Indexed Database API.

We welcome any and all discussions on this alpha on our newsgroups, or 
you can even file a bug if you find one. Be sure to check our Known 
Issues prior to filing bugs.

Yes, in 2.1a2, we have one bug that makes us open multiple copies of it, 
and another that makes it appear in the background when you have set 
tabs to open in the background by default. Both those bugs should be 
fixed in the very-soon-to-come 2.1a3, where it will open only once and 
in the foreground.


Tabs?? Is that a Windows thing? On Linux 2.1a2 pops open a big, complex, easy to 
understand window which allows me to easily find out that nothing is compatible 
with SM 2.1a2. ;-)
Even my themes are all incompatible, and it's using some strange theme anyway. 
Well good, hard to run with none.


The odd thing is that both the Fedora13 2.0.6 and the one I downloaded from 
mozilla.org tend to crash at odd times, while the 2.1a2 doesn't have most of the 
features working yet, but is stable and hasn't fallen over ever for me. Since 
someone mentioned it, CZ works fine AFAIK.


Note: Linux x86_64 version.

Manager several times, expecting it to open up like the Preferences screen.


And as for opening in the backgroundleave it, Robert, I like that 
(now that I aware of it!!).

Never mind checking the Add-on page shows that it is installed but
disabled because it is incompatible. Maybe SeaMonkey needs a way to test
Add-ons like the Add-on Compatibility Reporter for Firefox.


Sorry...as I read these posts, I've got Chatzilla looking at the

Yes, in 2.1a2, we have one bug that makes us open multiple copies of it, 
and another that makes it appear in the background when you have set 
tabs to open in the background by default. Both those bugs should be 
fixed in the very-soon-to-come 2.1a3, where it will open only once and 
in the foreground.

Not sure what you mean - other than the arbitrary decision we made in 
the SeaMonkey team to not release a SeaMonkey version on top of it but 
concentrate on aligning our releases with those of Firefox better by 
concentrating on what is now becoming Gecko 2.0 instead.

2.1 should just reuse 2.0 profiles, and switching back and forth should 
be possible in theory. Just make sure you have profile backups before 
trying it in practice.

If you use calendar (lightning) in 2.0.6, back up your entire 2.0.6
mozilla folder and use a *different* profile for 2.1x. The calendar data
is not compatible  2.1x will screw up your 2.0.6 data.

Point being is that posting an hit  run annoucement such as SeaMonkey

added here is nonsense.

There is *nothing* in the OP about only making comments in
mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey. In fact the OP states:

Sorry, the original posting had Followups-To set for the other group, so 
someone must have deliberately and manually redirected the replies to the wrong 
group. Or used a dumber than SM newsreader... So it was correctly set up, 
someone broke it.

How difficult is that?

BTW: I posted about the issues regarding ChatZilla et al *prior* to
posting on this group, yet gained no response from you there. I went to
the trouble of installing SM 2.1a1 on your first announcement on
5/11/2010 and posted my findings on mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey newsgroup
- no response from you. However you seem to be quite content to spend
time admonishing me for posting comments regarding your OP on *this*

You seem to indicate that you want help testing, I've done that quite
faithfully on nearly all release/alpha/beta/rc/whatever to the best of

You know what, the person who got this in the wrong group is NoOp himself. I 
just clicked reply on Rob's original message, and it goes to the correct group, 
mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey, so it must have been manually redirected back to 
this group. Let's let the announcements come from the source and ask people not 
to post replies back in the announcement.


We have now spent more time talking about the misdirected reply to the 
announcement than the topic.

 BTW Jay, have you installed/tested 2.1a? When was the last time you
 tested pre/alpha/beta/rc releases?

Every pre/alpha/beta/rc since Communicator 4.0a1 (the first pre-alpha),
which btw was a disaster area, computer rebooted all by itself.

The way I see this issue in summary is that if an announcement is made
to test ANYthing in a PUBLIC group then it should go without saying
anything in more detail. If there are any questions then any user(s) can

 Wrong if you're using the internal version, which works fine. If you 
 have a different version installed as an update, just uninstall it and 
 the internal ChatZilla will work nicely.

Really? Hmmm ok. I've removed ChatZilla via the add-on manager as you

no ChatZilla at all now. Perhaps you can adivse how to un-hide this
internal ChatZilla?

So that people would know there's alpha testing to be done and know
where discussion is taking place in case they're considering
participating.

 Point being is that posting an hit  run annoucement such as
 SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1 Available in this group  then complaining
 about comments added here is nonsense.

He said, This is a development version not intended for wide use by
normal users,  that's why I directed followups on the development
group.  IMO, that's pretty far from complaining -- it's simply filling
you in on info you hadn't picked up on.  (And other people also needed
the info;  you're not the only one who overrode the followup that was
set.)

 There is *nothing* in the OP about only making comments in
 mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey. 

In the OP, followups were set to mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey, as he's
already pointed out.  But IMO it should also be mentioned in the body of
the OP announcement.

This branch of the thread doesn't have any SeaMonkey support content,
so I'm setting followup to 'poster'.  This means most software will
automagically send replies to my e-mail address.  If you need to
override that for some reason, please use mozilla.general

 Because we want users to be aware that we're working on new things, and
 we also want to gain new testers - but we want them to discuss their
 findings from testing in the dev group once they join the testing effort.

 Sounds right, thanks. But there are those that gripe about anything!! 8-)
 

Gripe? You consider posting, what I considered helpful heads-up notes
about 2.a1x here griping? My gripe was when kairo admonished me for
posting about 2.1a1 in *this* newsgroup when his announcement
specifically stated:

We welcome any and all discussions on this alpha on our newsgroups

Pay attention here. The above states newsgroups - that's plural and
implies any mozilla newsgroups. Afterall, he also posted the same on
other mozilla newsgroups as well.

BTW Jay, have you installed/tested 2.1a? When was the last time you
tested pre/alpha/beta/rc releases?

Sorry meant for this to go to the users group:

Please be aware that many add-ons may not work w/2.1x.

On linux (not tested on Windows):

xsidebar requires:
http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/installation.html#unstable
http://downloads.mozdev.org/xsidebar/xsidebar-1.unstable.xpi

ChatZilla needs a new install via:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/16/
[thanks Gijs Kruitbosch for fixing]

Lightning requires:
1.1a1pre
There is of course a side effect; once you've installed the lightning
1.1a1pre you lose the 1.0b1 when you fire SeaMonkey 2.0.5 back up  your
old calendars do not work.
See:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=46t=1248265
for workarounds. I advise backing up *all* of your mozilla profiles, and
if possible use a test profile w/2.1.

Prefbar works (as always). As does flash and java.

Addons that I've found that do not (with the exeptions noted above that
require new versions):

Adblock Plus (1.2)
SQLite Manager (0.5.15)
Moonlight (2.99.0.6)

There's no need to save the program folder. You can just reinstall 
SeaMonkey from the installer.


I disagree. If you do not, chances are you will lose most of the add-ons 
you installed.

On 11/12/2009 11:29 AM PT, Jens Hatlak typed:


Thus, in light of what I have read, I am wondering if it would wise for
me to wait for a future release of SeaMonkey before upgrading my
system...I suppose I am hoping that some changes will be incorporated
into a future upgrade, that would make the move go more smoothly.  Any
comments would be appreciated.


You may want to wait for some minor release, e.g. SeaMonkey 2.0.1 or 
2.0.2. You should not wait for SeaMonkey 2.1, though, since that one 
will probably give a worse migration experience (AFAIK the ability to 
migrate download history will be removed in that version).


Is there an ETA for the next version (minor or major)?

Minor: Next month I'd say (KaiRo is on vacation until the 29th). Major: 
No ETA whatsoever.
