Mistakes in official Release Notes

• “The cursor may change … (bug 736811)” is WORKSFORME since 2014-11-27 (User NoOp told so on mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey)
  I submitted  Bug 1325744 – 2.46 Release Notes “known issues” wrongly refers to bug 736811

Progress with SeaMonkey Release 2.46

In the Project-Blog Edmund Wong wrote a status report concerning progress for a new SeaMonkey Release. Short résumé: unfortunately Heracles and Sisyphos dodged, so he has to do the job. Although there still are some (known and probably still unknown, for example Bug 1305915 – compile bustage for 2.46) problems he estimates that we will get a new SeaMonkey Release 2.46 in near future.

New unofficial localized nightly SeaMonkey builds (Release, Beta, Aurora, Trunk) available for download

Adrian Kalla again contributed lots of unofficial English and localized installers and language packs in various languages. Also  64Bit Windows-Builds are available. Folders show an old date in August 2016, the builds in all folders show dates 2016-09-04 … 2016-09-06. I checked the Build-ID of 64Bit Trunk-Build for Windows: 20160905222145.

A 2.45 Release is planned, so test results with this version are appreciated.

Only for testing, you will use those builds on your own risk. I recommend to create a backup of your user profile before you start testing those builds.

Unfortunately on SeaMonkey website seamonkey-project.org/dev/nightly (and others) have been outdated for months (we urgently need volunteers who can create “push-ready” patches) 😦
