SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta Released

After much delay, we’ve released SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta, based on Gecko 1.8 (which also powers Firefox 1.5). Some interesting changes since 1.0 Alpha: our new logo, tab drag-drop reodering, autoscroll, the ability to return to a tab’s “parent” when it is closed, and numerous bugfixes.
We’re planning to ship SeaMonkey 1.0 in January.
SeaMonkey consists of a state-of-the-art web browser, a powerful mail and news client, a WYSIWYG HTML editor, and an IRC chat application. It also includes tools for web developers, such as the DOM Inspector and the JavaScript Debugger.

    Just a tip, a good idea for a feature would be RSS support- like that which is present in most modern browsers nowadays. Another tip I have is to have some kind of a native skin- and then you might gain some more Mac users!

    Does this version includes a -Decent Status Bar- ?
    I hope it does…

    We’re working on some RSS support – we currently have a patch that adds Thunderbird-like RSS to MailNews, and would be interested in having it in the browser as well (when developers have time to write it!).

    What do you mean?

    5 things I need to be absolutely happy with SM (now only simply happy-)))
    visited context menus are not selected properly now
    Saving pages with @import CSS and images in CSS
    Direct editing of bookmarks (after 2 clicks)
    Opening html files with cyrilic names from HDD (as I know – in 1.5 but with not correct encoding of letters in address bar)
    Options how to save as
    – with page title
    – with page name
    Thanks to devs for keeping alive this “a state-of-the-art web browser…”

    Cache still disappears after browser crash.
    Are you going to fix this problem in future?
