The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.2: The new major
release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now!
Building on the same Mozilla platform as the newest Firefox release, it
delivers the latest developments in web technologies such as HTML5,
hardware acceleration and improved JavaScript speed.

SeaMonkey 2.2 is available in 21 languages, for Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux.

Most notably, this release features for the first time:

Added support for CSS animations.
Tuned HTTP idle connection logic for increased performance.
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.
Background tabs have setTimeout and setInterval clamped to 1000ms to
improve performance.
Fixed several stability issues.
Fixed several security issues.
Fixed several high visibility usability issues from SeaMonkey 2.1.

For a more complete list of major changes in SeaMonkey 2.2, see the
What's New in SeaMonkey 2.2 section of the Release Notes, which also
contain a list of known issues and answers to frequently asked
questions. For a more general overview of the SeaMonkey project (and
screen shots!), visit www.seamonkey-project.org.

Congratulations to the SM developer team on reaching this milestone.

And now begins the Gamma testing phase, wherein the population of 'real'
users braves the upgrade process and begins to exercise the newly
released version in an everyday environment.
Being of a cowardly disposition, I personally will wait for a couple
of weeks after the automatic upgrade becomes available to make my
decision about installing 2.2
Reading the release features list and the release notes,
I do not see any list of squashed bugs.
There is a list of known problems. i.e. bugs not deemed important
enough, or too difficult, to delay the release of 2.2.

So I suggest expanding the release notes to include such a list
of squashed bugs, and also a set of target dates for the elimination
of the known problems. (So as to achieve a clean and stable version)

Note that our 2.2 has VERY FEW seamonkey specific changes over 2.1, as we were a bit "late" getting on the rapid-release-train, and 2.3 will be similar. but 2.4 will be the first release where we have had trunk work since 2.2 so should be closer to the norm in that regard.

You should also see the Firefox/Thunderbird notes for bug changes linked from there for their corresponding release. (We don't explicitly list shared-code changes/fixes)

Again, CONGRATULATIONS to the developer teams, and encouragement
to keep up your creative efforts.


Thank You.
