I've seen several sort of oblique mentions here of the lack of
development of SM. Also, haven't seen an update in a while. So, I'm
beginning to feel that I'm nearing the point where I cannot any longer
stick with SM.
Kind of sad since I've been with it since Netscape back in, about, 1995.
I don't have any aversion to "an end of an era" but it would be nice
to get some definitive info on what the few remaining SM devs are doing
or have in mind.
Thoughts?
Well, new builds were supposed to be released end of June but that
date has come and gone. A few contrib builds has been built locally on
someone's machine
(https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/2015/06/16/first-win32-seamonkey-2-35-nightly-build-available/)
but we're all still waiting for a build server to be online and the
old build setup to be migrated. It's allegedly happening but very,
very, very slowly.

I think that users are more interested in solving unresolved bugs from
years and years then expecting design changes.
Nearly all the bugs fixed in FF and TB get pulled into SM.

True, which is very nice. A bit sad that Mozilla isn't ``innovating'' in
Thunderbird anymore, but that is a discussion for another day. It is
true that there are a few oddball seamonkey-specific bugs that are quite
annoying, but I'm sure many will be getting fixed soon-ish. Honestly
don't know what I would do if the SeaMonkey project ever died. Can't
imagine using ANY other internet suite that could make me quite as happy
or comfortable on the web. People like to rip on Mozilla for trying to
stay marketable, but if it weren't for them, we would be dead in the
water. Really appreciate how generous they've been to the SeaMonkey
community the past ~10 years.
