In January 2006, SeaMonkey 1.0 was released, a 1.1 release followed a
year later. Another three years later, the SeaMonkey project is
discontinuing support for the SeaMonkey 1.x series today in favor of
SeaMonkey 2.0, which is not only more modern, but also maintained for
stability and security problems.
As the SeaMonkey 1.x series no longer receives security updates,
due to
resource constraints, the SeaMonkey team strongly urges users of that
series to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge
people still using the old Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to
upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 2.0 version. All these older software
packages suffer from a large, and steadily increasing, number of
security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained.
Everyone on reasonably modern operating systems is urged to switch to
the newest release available for free download from the open source
project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org, providing the familiar
suite functionality in a remodernized application with additional
features and fully up to date security.
For the few who can't afford that, a last 1.x release is available.
SeaMonkey 1.1.19 does fix a few security issues, but not all known
security vulnerabilites, some of which may even be grave. Those are
only
fixed in the new SeaMonkey 2.0, which will continue to be maintained
for
quite some time and updated for any security issues as they might
arise,
while the team is working on evolving the well-known suite even
further
in future versions.

A note for Mac OSX users, SM 1.1.19 does not work
^^^^^
Did you mean SM 2.0; I would be surprised if 1.1.19 changed mac min
version; and if it did that sounds like a critical bug to me, can you
elaborate here, please?
on any Mac OSX version
prior to Tiger. If you are running Panther or Jaguar, stay with 1.1.18.
If you are using Tiger and above, better to bite the bullet and go
to SM
2.0.3.

All I know is that I tried to install it on both Panther and Jaquar
machines, and it would not run. Reverting to 1.1.18 on those boxes got
them up and running again.

I just tried a new download of 1.1.19 on Panther. When installed, when I
click on the Dock icon to ope it, the icon bounces for about 20 seconds,
then stops. It doesn't open. Reverting to 1.1.18 fixes it.

Okay, first of all, let me back off a bit. I have a lot of Mac's, but
only one running Panther, one Jaguar, and one Tiger, for test purposes,
so this is a really small sample size. More folks testing on the older
Mac versions would help.
So here is where I am, and its a little worse then I thought.
SM 1.1.19 will not run on any OS pre Leopard. On Leopard and Snow
Leopard it installs, picks up the existing profile, and runs exactly as
expected.
On Tiger, Panther, and Jaguar, it will not run. The Dock icon bounces
for while then stops.
I tried removing the existing profile folders, to see if it would create
a new profile, but no, it just won't start. Note this is tested just on
the three machines I have with those versions.
For what its worth, I did install it on Win 98 SE, and it runs exactly
as expected, so it appears to be a Mac issue only.
I would really like to see some other input.
Lee
