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

SeaMonkey 2.2 Beta 2 is available for free download on the SeaMonkey
