why is seamonkey saying it's 'out of date' when 2.46 was just recently

Because yes, it is out of date. I have seen some attempts to build
2.49 on the Mozilla site, t seems to be failing to build for Win32/64
as it was previously. You should run the Adrian Kalla 2.48 build. It
is stable. If you don't know where it is, I or someone else can point
you to it.

Well for linux distributions that heavily rely on repositories, until
those repositories are updated, which doesn't occur until an official
release. It only serves to make people uncomfortable running seamonkey
and move on to another browser.


Yeah but building Seamonkey has been busted on the official site for
OVER a year+ and the recent successful build of 2.46 took nearly an
act of God for it to be released. If repos continue to wait for those
build to work and build properly again, it may be another year.
Hopefully EWong can fix this bustage but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Regardless of the 'woes', my point still stands. There is no benefit to
announcing an out of date browser when no update is available yet. It
simply discourages people from using the browser which in turn means
less user which leads to a projects death.


Yes....and no. This is probably ported over directly from the Firefox/Thunderbird code so if it's in there, it'll be in Seamonkey. No point to making a special code change for Seamonkey to not advertise it being outdated.
