Nachdem die Entwicklung der Mozilla Websuite im letzten Jahr zugunsten der Einzel-Anwendungen Firefox und Thunderbird eingestellt wurde, fand sich ein unabhängiges Entwickler-Team zusammen, das das Projekt auf Basis der letzten Mozilla Version 1.8 Beta und mit Untersützung der Mozilla Foundation nun als SeaMonkey Websuite weiterentwickelt (wir berichteten).
The SeaMonkey name was adopted by the project leading group (dubbed "SeaMonkey Council") after considering a long list of community-proposed names - it was decided that the long-lived internal code name still suited the project best. It was no easy decision, but it has a certain appeal - the suite is already known by SeaMonkey within the developer community. The council is working on having this name trademarked with the help of the Mozilla Foundation.
While the Foundation doesn't consider the new SeaMonkey application to be an officially supported upgrade path for Mozilla suite users, it provides the newly founded project with assistance in the form of much-needed project infrastructure, and cooperates with SeaMonkey developers. Development of SeaMonkey produces many improvements which are contributed back to the Mozilla codebase, much of which is shared with products including Firefox and Thunderbird.
Mit der neuen Version 1.0.1 wurde nun ein erstes Bugfix-Release der SeaMonkey Suite, die Browser, E-Mail/News und IRC Client, sowie den Webeditor Composer umfasst, veröffentlicht. Die Release Notes sehen wie folgt aus :
