SeaMonkey 2.53.1 Beta 1

Has been released.

I can recommend that version, I have been using 2.53 for a long time without bigger problems. But you should keep in mind that there will be no way back for your existing User Profile after you will have used it with 2.53.1.

Additionally to the official Release Notes here you find some more information concerning changes with SeaMonkey 2.53.1

You need a Bugzilla-Account for the queries here in the blogpost. All queries without any liability, because (not only) correct use of TARGET MILESTONE is controversial.

PDF Viewer PDF.JS for SeaMonkey 2.53.1

PDF Viewer for SeaMonkey 2.1.288 does not work correctly with SeaMonkey 2.53 and 2.53.1 (By WG9S): endless idling in Browser-TAB until you click Stop Loading Icon, also problems when open PDF attachment from Mail.

There is a first experimental fixed version (by FRG) here, you can use it for tests on your own risk. Loading PDFs in browser window now works fine, loading PDF attachment from email still needs a refresh (browser tab contents) before PDF becomes shown.

They probably call it prudence …

…, I call it paranoia.
