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 2.2b2:
Opening message attachment does not work (Bug 665313)
Added Locales {fi, hu, nb-NO, pt-PT, tr} to bring total
translations up to 20.
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 3 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!

Further Notes not part of announcement:
(2.2 final is slated for Tuesday, midday, this week we'll have users on
beta of 2.0 test updates to 2.2 and within the next 2 weeks we'll issue
release-updates for 2.0 to 2.2)
There is also the *chance* there will be a 2.2.1 sometime in July to
address issues with Mac 10.7, details will follow if that happens.
