Update on Updates and other administrative issues..

Posted on January 13, 2026 by ewong

Hi All,

Just to mention what I’ve been doing…  Absolutely nothing…  that isn’t  hard.

Lemme try again as it’s quite difficult to concentrate when there are voices in my head telling me to do everything at the same time.   Why?  I’m so glad you guys asked…

The fact is we’re once again moving systems.  This time, away from Azure and to a new home at OSUOSL (Please do donate to their cause…  They are super great people!  Helpful and definitely patient…  you need a lot of patience to deal with my ignorance..)

Anyway,  the archive have been moved to the new place; but it was sooo seamless that I doubt anyone noticed. ;P

The website?  Was moved before the archive.  Late last year. So late… I’m now questioning myself whether it was moved…   Had to check.  Yes, it’s at its new home.  Memory isn’t what it used to be..  ;/

Now, the updates system.  The DB is in place (did this before the website I think…  I wrote it down..  umm I think.)  So I just need to move the site.  It’s nearing there.   Just need to get re-acquainted with the code…  but..  that’s details no one really needs to know.  As of this writing, Updates is still pointing to the old system, so nothing is updating….  or is it? (I.T.’s equivalent of James Joyce’s stream of consciousness…  but without the classicness of James Joyce… not comparing me with him.  Anyone read Ulysses?  Hard to understand… but I digress..)

So, in conclusion:

  • Website moved
  • Archives moved
  • backend for the above moved.
  • Currently working on Updates.

Suiting up again…  diving back in to the fray…

SeaMonkey 2.53.22 is out!

Posted on November 5, 2025 by ewong

Hi All,

The SeaMonkey Project is pleased to announce the release of version 2.53.22.

As mentioned before, the binaries are x86-64 only.

Please check out [1] and/or [2] for further details.

:ewong

PS: Actually, the release was done last week (iirc) and was hoping to do the blog and updates over the weekend (specifically Sunday); but had to head out of town.  Lost my train of thought and missed posting.  Ian’s email jogged my brainfog and here’s the post and the updates.

SeaMonkey 2.53.22 Beta is out!

Posted on September 22, 2025 by ewong

Hi All,

The SeaMonkey Project is pleased to announce the immediate release of SeaMonkey 2.53.22 Beta 1.

Please checkout [1] and/or [2].

Please also note, just to be explicit,  SeaMonkey 2.53.22 Beta 1 dropped support for the x86 binaries (Linux i686 and Win32).  So 2.53.21 is the last SeaMonkey version to support Linux i686 and Win32.    I actually use both Linux i686 and Win32 binaries, so I’m kinda sad to see them go.  Anyone remember the OSX x86 binaries (I think it was called Universal binary).  ?    C’est la vie, I guess.   In one way, this lessens the burden of the devs.

Now it’s all x86_64, baby!   x86 binaries have died.  Long live x86 binaries!

Migrating to new update server…

Posted on January 22, 2025 by ewong

Hi all,

As subjected, we’re migrating to a new Update server over the weekend (possibly even sooner)and while I have tested it a bit, nothing beats testing in production.  ;P

Seriously, though,  there’ll probably a bit of a hiccup (I have water), but shouldn’t be so terrible that we need to resort to returning to the old server.

Best regards,

:ewong

Posted on January 11, 2025 by ewong

Dear All,

It is with very heavy hearts that we, at the SeaMonkey Project, announce the sudden passing of one of our core dev and releng, Bill Gianopoulos (aka WG9s) on the 6th January 2025.   Here is his obiturary (https://www.chesmorefuneralhome.com/obituaries/william-andrew-gianopoulos/20284/)

I wish there was something to say… but.. still stunned by this news.

R.I.P.  Bill!
