Hi All,
(this is a personal note, so any flak should be directed to me only and
no one else).
While this is in the soon-to-be-released release notes, I felt it's
prudent that I post this here.
SeaMonkey 2.46 took it's not-so-sweet time in being released due to a
plethora of issues (I am so damn glad at least others are more on the
ball than I am -- namely frg whose more clear-headed than I am). That
said, there is one major issue.
SeaMonkey 2.40 will be the *last* version that supports non-CPU SSE
enabled systems. 2.44 (or maybe 2.43) *was* supposed to be the version
that gave users the 'your system will no longer be supported due to
it not having a SSE-enabled CPU' message (or something like that).
Unfortunately, 2.44 was skipped (as was 2.43 and 2.45) and so this
will come to users as a surprise (especially those installing the
full installer).
Since I have no knowledge (we lost this metric awhile ago) of how many
users we really have, I don't know how many are affected by this
and I suspect we won't know unless someone speaks out here or
anywhere. If you are affected, please use 2.40.
My humblest apologies for suddenly springing this version on the user
base without mentioning it anywhere beforehand (the bug that dealt with
this change slipped off my radar).

Is there a method by which an end-user can determine if a PC has a CPU
that is SSE enabled? My wife's PC was built in 2010 with an Intel
Pentium processor, but I cannot tell if it is Pentium 4, which is where
SSE first appeared.
You can install Piriform Speccy, free or paid version, and check it
under the CPU heading.
FWIW: Speccy on my computer shows the following re: SSE:
MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, Intel 64, NX, AVX
Same type of info on mine, customized to my early laptop dual core CPU.
Very handy program - 100s of x more info than the above, including
operating temps. at critical locations.
