I had a lot of trouble installing the last version of 1.1.xx and finally
gave up, installed a beta of 2, transferred over some files, had to
transfer passwords by hand. I have had no trouble with 2.0.



In spite of Old Croc Boyle's protestations for the last month, the 
majority does not consider SM 2.0 junk.   :)


I upgraded 1.1.14 to a beta of 2.0 to get the newsgroup crossposting 
filter, then upgraded to this release; with only the SMTP edit 
necessity escaping me.  Came to this group and got help resolving that 
right away.  I've since installed the Walnut theme, and I'm loving my 
version of SM 2.0.

Me too.  Profile migration was very smooth from here. The new Addons 
Manager is worth the hassle of the new version by itself. Extensions and 
themes are easier to install, easier to uninstall, and easier to 
configure.  More extensions will be available as we go, since it is now 
much easier to get FF and TB extensions to work with SM.


I guess the biggest drawback is the Forms Manager, or lack thereof. I 
never really used it that much, but for those who do, it is a loss. 
However, it is good to note that returning a version of it may well be 
in the works.


By and large, I feel this release had to happen, and soon. I don't think 
waiting any longer was likely to make the transition less bumpy, and now 
the SeaMonkey project is well poised for its future development.

It looks like all the problems are due to migrating from 1.x.
