SeaMonkey 2.2 and Firefox 5 are stable.
But the automatic update script isn't even out yet. So 2.2 hasn't had
a chance to spread yet.
Of course it may be declared stable by edict, with all fixes later,
in future versions, mixed in with new features.
According to Callek SM 2.3 is expected in about a month.
So where is there any evidence of stability?
When end-users go to the SeaMonkey website to download the latest stable
version, they are given SeaMonkey 2.2. That means alpha and beta testing
of 2.2 is done.
Nah... When end-users go to the SeaMonkey site, that is no warantee
of the stability of what they get. It is the product version that has
been frozen for release at that moment in time.
If the auto-update to 2.2 is not available yet, that
just means that the auto-update to 2.2 is not ready yet.
Oh! How true! ... Gee :)
It may need more testing; ...
.................
Of course the users can manually upgrade to the 2.2 release.
But any user who is set up for an automatic check for upgrades, or who
presses Help| CHeck for updates will get the response that there are no
updates! ergo my statement that "So 2.2 hasn't had a chance to
spread yet. " among the general user population which is not chasing
the latest. Which means that the Gamma testing phase has not even
begun
To most, stability means absence of commonly encountered bugs and
misfeatures in the current product. Not the freezing of a code package
for release.
