==First Release==
==Previous Releases==
For the [[SeaMonkey:First Release|first release (SeaMonkey 1.0)]], we're continuing development from the 1.8 beta1 release by the Mozilla Foundation - the final product is fundamentally the same (just with the new name, picking up core development that has been done since, and integrating some further work done by our developers).
 
Details of previous releases have been moved to the [[SeaMonkey:Release History]] page.

==Future Releases==
The future releases should be a complete transition to toolkit/ code. This will entail a lot of backend grunt work, so feature additions will likely have to be lower priority. Once the transition to toolkit is complete, we want to move to XULRunner - being based on toolkit already should make this as painless as possible (which is still likely to be very painful). Embedders will not be happy.
''Note:'' the [[SeaMonkey:Home Page]] Status has more recent information about ''three'' future development paths.
 
[[SeaMonkey:Future Releases|Future releases]] will see heavy changes though, mainly those should be a complete transition to toolkit/ code. This will entail a lot of backend grunt work, so feature additions will likely have to be lower priority. Once the transition to toolkit is complete, we want to move to XULRunner - being based on toolkit already should make this as painless as possible (which is still likely to be very painful). Embedders will not be happy.
Additionally, in this process, we will pick up the Gecko transition to using the new cairo-based rendering once it happens. This may also mean dropping support for older systems such as Win9x (not sure about Unix GTK1 toolkit).
The version numbers for those releases will probably start with 1.5, maybe a release fully converted to XULRunner might get version 2.0, but that's not been set in stone yet.
