Hi,

Wow.. the updates are coming in a lot more quickly than previous.  Unfortunately, this update isn’t that great.  Discovered a faux-pas made by yours truly, and having pushed a fix, we’re now heading to build #8.

:ewong

The first part is complete.

The second  part is where it gets hairy.  The move to S3 has completely broken the second part of the release process and so our scripts will need to be retinkered.

:ewong

… until we find out what’s troubling the final step.

Attention SeaMonkey users, we have two important things to say 🙂

1. Is your SeaMonkey version up-to-date? Check at http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/. This is important because the auto-update function in old SeaMonkey versions (2.33.1 or older) does not work anymore because of security reasons (if you are curious: This is related to the update server SSL certificate having expired). If you use old versions of SeaMonkey you’re probably vulnerable to various security issues!

2. This is only relevant to you if you use the SeaMonkey Sync feature for syncing profile data between different devices: The SeaMonkey Sync feature is currently not working anymore. This is due to Mozilla turning off the server for this feature. As far as we are aware only less then 1% of our users used the Sync feature. Soon the SeaMonkey project will provide a new version that will include a new version of the Sync feature. Then SeaMonkey Sync should be working again.

SeaMonkey 2.38 has been released.

’nuff Said. 🙂

The moment everyone’s waiting for.

The spinning of SeaMonkey 2.35.

It is a time of trepidation…  for having not spun a release since 2.33.1, and with the requirement of a lot of changes AND plus the fact that I will need to do the Win32 builds/repacks manually… you can bet your bottom dollar this is going to be “interesting”.

So while we have started the spinning, we aren’t in the clear yet.  When you have that brand spanking new 2.35 installed on your systems, that’s when we shall celebrate.  Until then… keeping my fingers crossed that it will be not as painful as I expect. (Wanted to insert the “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition”, but realized it didn’t make sense… since I’d have to say “I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition…” of which it would make sense to say “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!  Our chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear…..etc…”)

Anyhow…I digress.

I *really* can’t wait til I can say that I’ll bring you to your regularly scheduled program…  (get it?  scheduled?  regular…  ie. release…err..  nvm.)
