Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.3

Mozilla heeft de final release van versie 2.3 van SeaMonkey uitgebracht. Mozilla SeaMonkey is de voortzetting van de voormalige Mozilla Application Suite en bestaat uit een webbrowser en programma's om te e-mailen, nieuws te lezen en is er een eenvoudige html-editor. In tegenstelling tot de Mozilla Application Suite wordt SeaMonkey door de community onderhouden, terwijl de SeaMonkey Council het onderhoud overziet. De belangrijkste veranderingen die sinds versie 2.2 zijn aangebracht, kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
