2.1 Beta 2 Roundup

Welcome back! It's been a while, and this time I'm especially late since Beta 2 already shipped a month ago. But fear not, there's also news to tell: On trunk, both Venkman (JavaScript Debugger) and ChatZilla are finally working again, which means they'll also do in the upcoming (and last) Beta 3. Additionally, SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 3 will show download progress in the Windows 7 taskbar, display plugins in MailNews feeds and allow to add a search bar (as in Firefox) to the browser (including suggestions and engine management).

For Beta 2, the biggest part was the integration of Sync. All in all it took more than four months of review and dozens of iterations to get to the point where it could land on trunk. Of course none of that would have been possible without the effort of the original Weave and Firefox Sync developers in the first place, who built a product that is both easy to use and secure by design. The implementation as of Beta 2 is not complete yet; on trunk the Preferences dialog has already been redesigned and further changes are about to happen (mainly porting the easy setup screen for adding devices).

2.1 Alpha 3 Roundup

Here it is, with a small delay: The SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 3 Roundup.

Since the last alpha, some major changes appeared on trunk. KaiRo was especially busy, landing both Places-based bookmarks and Lightweight Themes (Personas) support for the browser, and his Data Manager integration has already gone through several reviews. As always, the SeaMonkey 2.1 features page gives a good impression of the overall progress.

Developers will surely appreciate that the JavaScript Debugger (Venkman) is usable again after the XPCOM components registration changes broke it.

For the platform changes, have a look at the Firefox Beta release notes (b2, b3, b4).

2.1 Alpha 2 Roundup

So, now that the distraction has come to an end (congratulations, Spain!), back to business. SeaMonkey (and Thunderbird) trunk has been broken for the last week or so due to the XPCOM components registration changes. The tree is still closed, but it looks much better now than in the past few days. Time to add some more SeaMonkey 2.1 features!

Upcoming:

• Places-based bookmarks
• Lightweight Themes (Personas)
  
• Data Manager
  

Otherwise, SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 2 has been released. The following is an overview of noteworthy changes contained in that release. Also have a look at the Firefox 4 Beta 1 release notes for some more platform changes.

Notable Changes:

• The Add-on Manager has been rewritten and now opens within a new tab or browser window. Read Mossop's blog for more information.
• The video back-end now supports WebM/VP8 (use yasm if compiling on Linux!).
  
• The Troubleshooting Information page (about:support), which features a short-hand for accessing your profile folder, can now be opened from the Help menu (not the Tools menu, as mentioned in the 2.1 Alpha 1 Roundup).
• The Download Manager now allows your to drag files and URLs to and from it, e.g. to the desktop or Explorer window.
• The View Source window includes a Find Bar now, like the one in the Help viewer and Firefox, but at the top of the window.
  
• The MailNews components now supports saving multiple messages as individual files in a directory.
• The MailNews thread pane and other trees now feature alternating backgrounds on Mac and Linux.
  
• The MailNews Search toolbar is gone, in favor of elements that can be used in customizable toolbars. The bar might eventually return (cf. Thunderbird's Quick Filter bar), but for now its elements have been moved to an own, full-sized toolbar (which can of course be disabled and all its elements be moved to other toolbars).
• The Search and Go browser buttons are customizable now, too.
  
• Gopher is gone.

Beta 1 Roundup

Welcome back! Again it has been quiet on this blog for too long. But no longer! Beta 1 has been tagged and is about to be released early next week. Beta 1 you say? Well, the original plan was to have only one Beta but as time went by and certain key features were stuck in the review process, the decision was made to have two Betas.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1 will use the same rendering engine as Firefox 3.5.1, Gecko 1.9.1.1, including the recent security fixes and overall improvements, and the same MailNews backend as Thunderbird Beta 3 which will be released in parallel.

This is the first post since the Alpha 3 Roundup so the below changes (except Forgotten Fixes) are all relative to that. I didn't include screenshots this time, but of course only to encourage you to download and try SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 yourself when it is released! :-)
