Now the Releases wiki at <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases> says the

SeaMonkey 2.35, based on Gecko 38, was released 10 July (yes, past

Where do you see the "Was"?
Other products on the same page say "Released on some date in the
past" (sic), so a sentence like "Released on 2015-07-10" should be
read as "WILL BE released", otherwise wouldn't it also say "in the past"?
It is incorrect, erroneous, false, faulty, flawed, imprecise,
inaccurate, mistaken, counterfactual, inexact, unsuitable, unreliable,
not trustworthy and needs to be fixed no matter what it says.
Probably should say "Will" because "This page was last modified on 3
June 2015, at 21:13."
Concur. "Will be released" and "To be released" are both acceptable, but
without the help, "Released" alone will be read as a past tense.
Look at any newspaper, see what they do in the headlines:
Girl bitten by shark
Greece deal rejected
etc.
