-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.
