The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.1: The new major
release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now!
Building on the same Mozilla platform as Firefox 4, it delivers the
latest developments in web technologies such as HTML5, hardware
acceleration and improved JavaScript speed.
SeaMonkey 2.1 is available in 21 languages, for Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux.
Most notably, this release features for the first time:
- Sync allows you to share your bookmarks, history, passwords and tabs
across different devices (computers) in a secure way.
- Personas let you choose from thousands of easy to install themes,
giving you a more personalized browsing experience.
- An optional search bar gives access to OpenSearch search engines and
suggestions.
- The new Data Manager unifies management of permissions, cookies,
passwords and form data.
- Improved handling of plugins, including the ability to delete Flash
cookies and survive plugin crashes.
For a more complete list of major changes in SeaMonkey 2.1, see the
What's New in SeaMonkey 2.1 section of the Release Notes, which also
contain a list of known issues and answers to frequently asked
questions. For a more general overview of the SeaMonkey project (and

Can I install it over my current version, 2.0.14?
Yes. (Just note the mention in Release Notes about downgrading BACK to
2.0.14 if that is ever desired)
I can agree to that, while it is possible to go back, it's a process (at least
on Linux) .
A few related questions:
- is the upgrade from 1.x gone? It was noted as being a conversion feature to be
removed from 2.1 and later. I ask only because I didn't see a hint to upgrade
to 2.0.14 then 2.1 if the direct path isn't supported.
- Having SM call itself Firefox solves problems with broken sites, but it will
result in SM vanishing from browser stats, won't it? Meaning sites are less
likely to make any effort to support it.
- is 2.1.1pre daily newer or a fork?
Overall a good job, although there is a serious lack of themes. Also a lack of
documentation of correct generation of themes.

taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
