Subject: SeaMonkey 2.0 - The Modern Internet Suite is Here!
The SeaMonkey project at Mozilla is excited to release its completely
refurbished next generation of the all-in one Internet suite today:
SeaMonkey 2.0, now available for free download from the
seamonkey-project.org website, melds the ideas behind Netscape Communicator
with the modern platform of Firefox 3.5 to create one of the most
compelling open source products for advanced Internet users.

Due to the reported problems, it seems a bit too problematic to update from
1.1.18 to 2.0, now. Maybe people like me, who need to be consident that our
systems are (relatively) stable, need to wait until 2.1 is released.
Ah, the word "consident", should have been "confident". Too much haste.
And I have not yet been able to get spell checking in PINE, to work.
One thing that concerns me, is the use of the .tar.bz2 (files like that used
to be .tar.gz - the .bz2 entended extension, seems a bit different) file,
rather than a package file (like .deb), for Linux.
I run Ubuntu Linux 8.04LTS, Debian 5 Linux, and Windows XP with service packs
(I believe that I have SP3, in addition to SP2, which I do know was
installed, but I am not definite about SP3), although the Win XP should
probably now be replaced with Win 7, so I think it is probably best, for
stability, to wait until if and when Seamonkey 2 (or, even better, from the
reporting of the problems, version 2.1, with all the bugs of version 2,
fixed) makes it into the package repositories for the Linux distributions.
Also, it would need to be explicitly stated, that Seamonkey v2.x would
definitely be able to be installed in parallel with an existing installation
of 1.1.x, and, be able to import settings/profiles/history from v1.1.x, on
each of the different operating systems, so that the two could be run in
parallel (parallel implementation is alsways safest, in software
development), to ensure that we do not lose data, as has been reported as
having happened with other people who have upgraded from 1.1.18 to 2, or who
have replaced 1.1.18 with 2.
