Hello all,
Since one year ago I have been observing some Seamonkey
features/functions
to stop working and no fixes being provided to them, as follows:
I see some really old (almost 13 years!) issues not fixed like
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137884 ... :(
The reason for writing this is that in every release I always see new
functions being added,
but I think it would be nice to fix previously working (and now broken)
functions also.
The problem is the non-paid volunteers to fix them. It is not just
SeaMonkey, but many softwares. Only high priority issues get fixed. :(
We surely should thank a lot the volunteers for developing the code, but
I think this is a special case
where a feature was previously working and some volunteer spent his/her
non-paid time and broke it.
Would it be better not to touch that part of the code then ? Would it
be better to perform regression testing ?
Or a broken feature is not high priority ? Who knows ?
The Gecko code gets changed by paid Mozilla developers and volunteers
for use in Firefox. If that breaks something in SeaMonkey or Thunderbird...
