Mozilla Foundation heeft zaterdag de tweede bètarelease van SeaMonkey versie 2.0 uitgebracht. SeaMonkey is de voortzetting van de voormalige Mozilla Application Suite en bestaat uit een webbrowser en programma's om te e-mailen en nieuws te lezen. Daarnaast is er ook nog 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 in versie 2.0 zijn dat de webbrowser nu op Firefox 3.5 is gebaseerd, dat de MailNews-applicatie ook rss- and Atom-feeds kan weergeven en dat de password- en downloadmanager sterk zijn verbeterd. Een compleet overzicht van de veranderingen sinds versie 1.1.17 kan hier worden gevonden, terwijl de release notes voor bèta 2 de volgende zijn:
SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 Completes New Feature SetLess than 8 weeks after the first beta, the SeaMonkey team released SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 today, completing the planned feature set for the next generation of the successful Internet suite, with a final 2.0 version expected next month.
Building on the great heritage of the Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Application suites, SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 combines a state-of-the-art web browser based on the same core as Firefox 3.5.3 with a solid email and newsgroups client and a simple HTML editor, rounding the experience with web development tools and IRC chat.
In addition to the changes in the first beta release, this version features
- tabbed mail, enabling accounts, folders and even single messages to be opened in tabs inside the Mail & Newsgroups window, as well as enabling the Lightning extension to be installed into SeaMonkey for calendering functionality.
- a completely renewed default theme on Mac OS X to better fit with the look of Leopard and Snow Leopard,
- reopening of closed browser windows (Undo Close Window),
- introduction of simpler interfaces for extension developers (SMILE),
- and a large number of other, smaller improvements.
The release notes include a detailed list of improvements in comparison to SeaMonkey 1.1.18, our current stable release.
We welcome any and all discussions on this beta on our newsgroups, or you can even file a bug if you find one. Be sure to check our Known Issues prior to filing bugs.
SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 is available for free download on the SeaMonkey website. Once you have downloaded and installed this release, we'd like to encourage you to get involved in discussing and reporting problems as well as further improving the product.
Thanks for testing and helping us to make SeaMonkey even better!

Bookmarks worden gelukkig niet overschreven, want na een downgrade is alles zoals het was.
