SeaMonkey 2.2 Beta 2 is available for free download [1] now in 14 languages and makes a list of new functionality available to a wider testing audience for the first time. Please note that this pre-release version is still intended for testers only and might still show some problems in everyday use. As always, we appreciate any feedback you may have and encourage users to help us by filing bugs.

This version is built on top of Gecko 5 and features the following new improvements:
    CSS Animations [2] are now supported.
    Improved canvas, JavaScript, memory, and networking performance.
    Improved standards support for HTML5, XHR, MathML, SMIL, and canvas.
    Improved spell checking for some locales.
    WebGL content can no longer load cross-domain textures. [3]
Background tabs have setTimeout and setInterval clamped to 1000ms to improve performance. [4]

Major changes since 2.2b1:
Bundled extensions/add-ons (ChatZilla, DOM Inspector and JavaScript Debugger) are no longer optional in SeaMonkey's windows installer. (Bug 666518). Archive options can now be changed from the Copies & Folders Account Settings pane (Bug 607295).

The changes page [5] lists a more detailed overview of new features and fixes relative to our last stable release, SeaMonkey 2.1. [6]

We welcome any and all discussions on this beta 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.

SeaMonkey 2.2 Beta 2 is available for free download on the SeaMonkey website. Once you have downloaded and installed this release, we'd like to encourage you to get involved in discussing and reporting problems as well as further improving the product.

Thanks for testing and helping us to make SeaMonkey even better!
