No.  Not a stupid question at all.  In fact, it's a very good question.

I am quite confused that there a nightlies with version numbers
increasing to 2.48 while there is not even a beta.

I wish there was an easy way of explaining this.  But, as Paul
stated, we're just a bunch of volunteers trying hard to maintain
our sanity with changes coming from Gecko's codebase and the
infra that needs a lot more love.  So all in all, a pretty much
mountain climb.

Excuses/reasons aside... I am really sorry for the lack of releases.

Seamonkey is my default browser and mail and news program, so I don't

Ditto here.


like to take any risk of losing my data and mails by using a buggy
nightly. On the other hand, I see a lot of security updates of Firefox
and Thunderbird which have been published in the meantime and therefore
I'm concerned about unfixed vulnerabilities in Seamonkey.

Any hope?

Sure.  I'm (my opinion here.. doesn't reflect the opinion of the
group) not sure if it will be 2.45  or even 2.46.   But we'll see.

Edmund,

A good explanation.

So, here's my question: Are there any Gecko alternatives out there that aren't changing at a such a furious rate? Something to give us a reasonable (and safe) SM but perhaps with a more consistent internal interface that would be simpler to integrate with past versions?

Because I don't like the impression I'm getting that the slope is rising and that the trend is not in our favor!
