Greetings,
The SeaMonkey Project is pleased to announce the release of SeaMonkey
2.32b3. Please give it a spin.
For a more complete list of changes in SeaMonkey 2.32, see the What's
New in SeaMonkey 2.32 section of the Release Notes [2], which also
contain a list of known issues and answers to frequently asked
questions. For a more general overview of the SeaMonkey project (and
screen shots!), visit www.seamonkey-project.org.

Please don't release this version to production. It does not handle
RSS feeds at all. Can't add a new RSS news group nor does SeaMonkey get
any new RSS feed articles for the groups I already have.
@Edward: Unfortunately I have to agree with George on this point.
@George: I recommend that you file a bug report. Neither SeaMonkey nor
Thunderbird seem to have a bug report regarding this:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=SeaMonkey&content=rss&comments=0>
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Thunderbird&content=rss&comments=0>
SeaMonkey has an old bug report that may be related:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641373>
(subscription to various RSS feeds does not always transfer to Mail &
Newsgroups)
Note: Thunderbird 34 beta allows you to add the feed with a url manually
- only tested in Windows, haven't tested in linux yet.
I note that the SeaMonkey RSS feed will load:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/news-atom
However, when attempting to subscribe to the Google news RSS:
http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&output=rss
I get the following in the error console:
2015-01-08 17:45:03 Feeds WARN subscribeToFeed: Aborting RSS
subscription. Feed downloads already in progress
Delete the SeaMonkey RSS and try the Google RSS - same result. Then
retry the SeaMonkey RSS & it does not load - error msg is the same as
when I try the Google RSS (Feeds WARN subscribeToFeed: Aborting RSS
subscription. Feed downloads already in progress).
I've done some preliminary tests and came up with a few observations:
The tests were conducted with the following RSS feeds:
[1] http://www.seamonkey-project.org/news-atom
[2] http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=hk&hl=zh-TW&output=rss
[3] http://planet.mozilla.org/atom.xml
[4] http://planet.mozilla.org/rss20.xml
Test 1:
- Subscribe [1]
- Subscribe [2] - fails. (does nothing aside for dumping that error
to the error console)
(Delete Blogs & .. account)
Test 2:
- Subscribe [2] - fails.
(Delete Blogs & .. account)
Test 3:
- Subscribe [1]
- Subscribe [3]
- Subscribe [4] -fails
(delete...)
Test 4:
- Subscribe [4] - fails
Test 5:
- Subscribe [1] - fails.
While my tests aren't scientific enough to jump to conclusions, I feel
that the SeaMonkey feed code is not liking RSS v2.0 feeds. The
parsing is stuck somewhere. So when it fails, something that's
set is stuck at the setting which makes any subsequent tries
fail. You'd need to delete the Blog & newsFeeds account to
get it going again. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to
dwell on this too much, but will try to when I get enough
cycles.
Edmund
