[re-sending as this didn't make it yesterday]
SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 1 is available for free download now in 8 languages
and makes a huge 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.
In addition to the changes in the alpha releases, this version features
the following new improvements:
- OpenSearch plugins are now supported and the default for web
search.
- Data Manager now unifies cookie, permission, password, and form data
management.
- Plugins now run in their own processes and don't take down the
browser any more if they crash.
- JavaScript is faster than ever with the new JägerMonkey engine.
- Direct2D Hardware Acceleration is now on by default for Windows 7
users, hardware accelerated layers are available on all platforms
with known-to-work video drivers.
- The HSTS security protocol and the proposed Audio Data API are
available.
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 2.1 Beta 1 is available for free download from
