There are also some flags and keywords to indicate that, in addition, a bug has been fixed on some other branch. In your OP you asked, what good is there in staying with SeaMonkey? That's for every user to judge for him- or herself. The fact that this product is maintained by a small group of unpaid volunteers, as an all-in-one Suite uniting a Firefox-like browser, a Thunderbird-like mail/news/RSS client, a chat client, and more, all in a single executable program and the libraries that go with it, will be seen by some as an advantage, by others as a blemish. Myself, I have in the past felt as just a number in the mass of not-listened-to users of Firefox, where features on which I depended have repeatedly been sacked by the developers, for no good reason or for some obviously false reason (like no one uses it and it is not discoverable for something -the throbber link- that I had discovered without help, and used). With SeaMonkey, in my experience, the developers listen better to what the users have to say — or maybe I'm lulling myself with illusions and have just found a group of developers with the same values as mine; anyway I feel more at home with SeaMonkey than I ever did with Firefox (or, worse, with Konqueror or of course with Internet Explorer). But the SeaMonkey developers are fewer than Firefox's, none of them is paid by Mozilla (unlike Firefox's), and they don't have as many machines at their disposal as are used to maintain three or four parallel branches of the Firefox code: with SeaMonkey, it seems that two's the limit: one trunk undergoing active development, and in a kind of state of flux, continually changing especially when labeled alpha or even beta, and one stable branch whose behaviour will not fundamentally change between one day and the next or even one month and the next: this gives extension developers some confidence that it is worth their while to develop extensions for it, but it also means no new features. Bugs, however, especially important bugs, still get fixed, even on the stable branch, if a fix can be found for them. Of course, it can happen that, for some bug, no fix is found (yet): then of course that bug doesn't (yet) get fixed. So, make your own choice: it may be other than mine (I've been using SeaMonkey trunk nightlies for some time even if, unlike WLS, I have problems getting Lightning to work with them) because you are not me; that's why it's important to *have* a choice, one thing to which the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation is dedicated.

Hi NoOp, Unfortunately, your understanding of how development and bugzilla works is incorrect. Put it this way, when a new major version of SeaMonkey is released, are developers supposed to start going through hundreds of bugs they've fixed over the past year and start making them as fixed? What if the bug is in more than one release? Maintenance mode (or stable branch) means that changes can only be made to the code if doesn't: * break extensions * require localizers to translate more strings (and probably more, but the general idea is not to make changes that are going to break other things) If a bug appears in both the trunk and branch (which is usually the case), the fix is first applied to the trunk. You can then request that it be applied to the branch. Someone will then review patch, to see if it is safe enough to be applied to the stable branch, and if it is apply that patch and add the appropriate keyword to the bug. In some cases, the assignee may need to create a separate patch just for the stable branch. No-one is telling users that you have to download a pre-release to see the fix (Although it would be helpful to test it). It's just a matter of which end-user release users will experience the fix: the next 2.0.x release or 2.1.

I'd also appreciate comments as to the direction of SeaMonkey; - will users go through yet another SM 1.x to 2.0 transition in the near future? Why that? They are not using 1.x any more if the ever think of security. - will provisions be made for importing/exporting lightning calendars? Ask the calendar project, this is an add-on and completely up to their developers. - what can users expect in the 2.0 to 2.1 transition? That 2.0 profiles will just work in 2.1 - downgrading from 2.1 to 2.0 might even work, but might have some flaws which we only intend to fix if it's easy (e.g. 2.1 bookmarks will never automatically work in 2.0). As you all know, it was a pretty difficult transition for some users to go from SM 1.x to 2.0. If 2.0 is now maintenance only mode, then I wonder if it is worth continuing with SeaMonkey further. Why? I completely don't understand what's wrong with a well-maintained stable release series.

New features are always developed on trunk. At some point, we'll put a temporary freeze on new features, to allow as many remaining bugs in those features to be discovered and fixed. Locale strings are also normally frozen at this point. Eventually we decide we're ready and create a release branch. Development on the next version of SeaMonkey can then restart on trunk (in practice we don't have the resources for this until after the release.) Meanwhile the release branch fixes last-minute bugs at which point we can then release the x.x.0 version. But that's not the end of the branch; bugs are always being found, and if they have a severe impact (e.g. data loss, crash) then they are fixed on the branch and typically every month a maintenance release containing these fixes is delivered. I don't think that I've misunderstood; Yes you have misunderstood what maintenance mode means. The following part of your explanation does not correlate to what maintenance mode means. nor does it have anything to do with our discussion, even so I'll address those points. the bug was opened in November 2009 with 2.0.1pre 1.1.18. It was/is well documented, and is an outstanding issue going back to January 2009 (Firefox), Yes it was opened against Firefox. and as such was not reported as a SeaMonkey Bug. (So 2.0.1pre, and 1.1.18 are irrelevant here -- even if it exists in SeaMonkey). But lets presume that it was a SeaMonkey bug for sake of argument... it was found AFTER the 2.0.0 release (2.0.1pre) which means it would fall into criteria for a maintenance release. It was reported after this thread: SM 2.0 URL escape character auto conversion 10/30/2009 I then went ahead and filed the bug. Use your *SeaMonkey* newsreader to review. see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475896. It is NOT a New feature. No it is a trivial bug fix that accompanies with it a behavior change that some others may rely on. We do not take behavior changes/new features in a security release. The only behavior changes that matter are those that fix even more serious bugs [not an edge case like this] or are accompanying a real security threat. And are rated on a case by case basis. [read on] If it's trivial, then why not target it for something other than Target Milestone: seamonkey2.1b2 ?? 2.0.12 *might* occur... But Philipp's fix was dated: 2010-11-21 07:38:47 PST SeaMonkey 2.0.11 was released December 9: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases quote SeaMonkey 2.0.11 December 9 (tied to Firefox 3.5.16) /quote There are thousands of 2.0.x SeaMonkey users (at least one would hope so) out there that still have this issue. The bug is valid, so every user has this issue. The fact though is that not every user encounters it, nor of those that do actually care. [or perhaps RELY on the space behavior for other reason] BS Marking the bug as 'FIXED' on a yet to be released 2.1 trunk IMO simply doesn't cut it IMO. Marking the bug as FIXED didn't happen. Its not fixed, there is not even a reviewed patch that can be requested approval for the maintenance branch. And as I said above, its a Firefox bug, in Firefox code. So nothing (aside from writing the fix it for Firefox ourselves, with our limited resources) we could do for it. OK, it was marked as RESOLVED as in: This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 613199 *** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613199 Status: RESOLVED FIXED Product:SeaMonkey Hence, it was technically marked as FIXED. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_activity.cgi?id=531210 If we expect users to install 2.1pre versions simply so that they can copy paste a url from the url bar, then I suspect that no fixes in any current version of SeaMonkey (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/) will ever be satisfied. No, any user can copy/paste a url from the url bar. Pasting back into the urlbar of any current Mozilla-Based application, space or no space, will work just fine. It's said other applications bug if they don't convert ' ' to '%20'. If copy/paste was entirely broken, in SeaMonkey 2.0.x that would be not only a regression, but a blocker imo; and I would be sure to devote resources to fix it, and happy to approve it landing in the 2.0 maintenance branch.

Meanwhile the release branch fixes last-minute bugs at which point we can then release the x.x.0 version. But that's not the end of the branch; bugs are always being found, and if they have a severe impact (e.g. data loss, crash) then they are fixed on the branch and typically every month a maintenance release containing these fixes is delivered. I don't think that I've misunderstood; the bug was opened in November 2009 with 2.0.1pre 1.1.18. It was/is well documented, and is an outstanding issue going back to January 2009 (Firefox), see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475896. It is NOT a New feature. There are thousands of 2.0.x SeaMonkey users (at least one would hope so) out there that still have this issue. Marking the bug as 'FIXED' on a yet to be released 2.1 trunk IMO simply doesn't cut it IMO. If we expect users to install 2.1pre versions simply so that they can copy paste a url from the url bar, then I suspect that no fixes in any current version of SeaMonkey (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/) will ever be satisfied.

In the end, people chosing to use it [lightning] or not, it is an extension and we are 100% volunteers. Working on/with code that is much further in scope than either Firefox or Thunderbird [though some of the code is shared]. We do not have a single paid person working on SeaMonkey. If lightning is THAT important to you, dare I ask you assist by devoting some of your time to keeping it working for SeaMonkey. it is the Human Resource issue that we have here, not knowledge or desire.

I don't think that I've misunderstood; Yes you have misunderstood what maintenance mode means. The following part of your explanation does not correlate to what maintenance mode means. nor does it have anything to do with our discussion, even so I'll address those points. the bug was opened in November 2009 with 2.0.1pre 1.1.18. It was/is well documented, and is an outstanding issue going back to January 2009 (Firefox), Yes it was opened against Firefox. and as such was not reported as a SeaMonkey Bug. (So 2.0.1pre, and 1.1.18 are irrelevant here -- even if it exists in SeaMonkey). But lets presume that it was a SeaMonkey bug for sake of argument... it was found AFTER the 2.0.0 release (2.0.1pre) which means it would fall into criteria for a maintenance release. see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475896. It is NOT a New feature. No it is a trivial bug fix that accompanies with it a behavior change that some others may rely on. We do not take behavior changes/new features in a security release. The only behavior changes that matter are those that fix even more serious bugs [not an edge case like this] or are accompanying a real security threat. And are rated on a case by case basis. [read on] There are thousands of 2.0.x SeaMonkey users (at least one would hope so) out there that still have this issue. The bug is valid, so every user has this issue. The fact though is that not every user encounters it, nor of those that do actually care. [or perhaps RELY on the space behavior for other reason] Marking the bug as 'FIXED' on a yet to be released 2.1 trunk IMO simply doesn't cut it IMO. Marking the bug as FIXED didn't happen. Its not fixed, there is not even a reviewed patch that can be requested approval for the maintenance branch. And as I said above, its a Firefox bug, in Firefox code. So nothing (aside from writing the fix it for Firefox ourselves, with our limited resources) we could do for it. If we expect users to install 2.1pre versions simply so that they can copy paste a url from the url bar, then I suspect that no fixes in any current version of SeaMonkey (http://www.seamonkey-project.org/) will ever be satisfied. No, any user can copy/paste a url from the url bar. Pasting back into the urlbar of any current Mozilla-Based application, space or no space, will work just fine. It's said other applications bug if they don't convert ' ' to '%20'. If copy/paste was entirely broken, in SeaMonkey 2.0.x that would be not only a regression, but a blocker imo; and I would be sure to devote resources to fix it, and happy to approve it landing in the 2.0 maintenance branch. Here is a paste of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community#Getting to know and work with your system directly from 2.0.11. There are of course more examples in the bug report, but that one works for me. Which is in and of itself not broken. Copy/Paste of it works. You just get spaces, which if you copy/paste that whole string back into SeaMonkey you'll load the page (at the anchor) correctly.

Phone2, Fax, Cell Phone But if works as it appears will go great lengths to replacing Forms Manager. The original forms Manager would pickup what you typed, or you could open the manager and type it in the difference being it would save multiple pages with differing sets of information and it would choose the format most likely to fill out the for presented. If it didn't fill out a give item you filled it in and it would save it for use the next time you run across the same information in other it adapted sort of like the spam filter. It would sort of work like Bayesian filters used in the spam detectors. It would even save credit card information. Between the Form History Manager and this it getting there. -- Phillip M.

Since I don't normally auto-fill forms even with SeaMonkey 1.1 I haven't tested that it actually fills in forms at all. http://downloads.mozdev.org/xsidebar/mods/autofill_forms-0.9.5.2-mod.xpi Phil -- Philip Chee phi...@aleytys.pc.my, philip.c...@gmail.com http://flashblock.mozdev.org/ http://xsidebar.mozdev.org Guard us from the she-wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief, oh Night, and so be good for us to pass. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Why is it that the 'nightly' builds of SeaMonkey generally include a 64bit build, but the final releases do not? Because we do have too little build power to do release builds as well, we only have one signle machine for 64bit. Robert Kaiser Sigh... I reckon my CRS is kicking in again; I should have remembered you had mentioned this once before. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
