Second: Yeah, SM usually lags a few hours after Firefox. I don't know the exact reasons, but some guesses are: 1. Seamonkey has no paid staff. So, there might not be anyone available to do the commits at the precise time Firefox is released -- people have their day jobs, after all. 2. Also, for the same reason (less people/time available) it might take a bit longer to finish the release process. 3. Seamonkey does not have as much of a serverfarm as Firefox for compiling the binaries. True, SM offers fewer languages; but I think that, on average, FF has more computing power per binary available than SM. And SM is also a more complex program -- it has a mail reader, after all. Therefore, I think total compile time (all versions, all languages) for SM is somewhat longer than for Firefox. 4. Firefox is the main app, Seamonkey is the child project. It wouldn't be very diplomatic if SM "jumped the gun" and released BEFORE Firefox. TOGETHER is fine, but BEFORE might annoy people at Mozilla. So the SM guys can't just do it the night before, because they don't know *exactly* when Firefox will hit the web. By the way, Seamonkey 2.12 is available now. I'm using it already. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
