Addendum: MailNews History, Full Page Zoom

Seems I missed the SeaMonkey parts of two checkins: Bug 74959 introduced back/forward buttons in MailNews and comment 130 of Bug 389628 points out that Full Page Zoom, recently introduced by the fix for Bug 4821, is also available in SeaMonkey when using the scroll wheel to change the font size (not mapped by default). The latter is more of a side-effect, though, thus the current behaviour might be changed again in the future.

Simplification and Complication

While the fixes for Bug 315871 and Bug 60513 allow for exporting (SSL/TLS) certificates and copy strings from alert windows, Bug 327181 marks a turning point in the treatment of (SSL/TLS) certificates that are either expired, contain a mismatching hostname or have been issued by an untrusted signing CA. Unlike IE7, which shows a warning messages but allows the user to proceed, the new Mozilla behaviour (shared by Firefox and SeaMonkey) is to completely block sites having such issues. With the current implementation, the average user is given no chance to proceed or even investigate the offending certificate. Only advanced users will find that it is still possible to add CA certificates (like the one from CAcert) to the internal certificate store (make them 'known') and mark them as trusted.

Update: Johnathan Nightingale posted an interesting comment on the issue at hand, talking about the reasons that led to the decision that something had to be changed and the possible improvements to the current situation.

The Return of Switch Profile

The fix for Bug 382792 reanimates the Switch Profile feature which had been broken in all previous SuiteRunner builds.

There Goes Quicklaunch

The fix for Bug 361682 removes the Quicklaunch ("turbo mode") feature which kept SeaMonkey in main memory for shorter startup times on Windows and MacOS.
