The current plan is to release an Alpha and a Beta release from the Mozilla 1.8 branch on the way to that 1.0 release:
* [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/#1.0a SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha] was released from Gecko 1.8b4, paralleling the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5 Beta1 releases done by Mozilla Foundation. While the basic codebase may be more beta than alpha quality, our new release process is not completely settled, we don't have our final [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/artwork.html Artwork] yet and we have no dedicated release machines in place, so it's better to call this an early testing release or "Alpha".

* SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta may be released from Gecko 1.8 RC 3, paralleling the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5 RC 3 releases. This testing release will also incorporate our new [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/artwork.html Logo Artwork] for the first time. ''We now have [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-mozilla1.8/  1.0 Beta nightly builds]; please help us testing them!''
* SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta will be released from Gecko 1.8, like the Firefox 1.5 release. This testing release will also incorporate our new [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/artwork.html Logo Artwork] for the first time. ''We now have [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-mozilla1.8/  1.0 Beta nightly builds]; please help us testing them!''
* As already said, SeaMonkey 1.0 is then planned to be shipped off the Gecko 1.8 final release, paralleling the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5 final releases.
* SeaMonkey 1.0 is then planned to be shipped off the Gecko 1.8.0 branch, which might get a few security/stability fixes, but no big changes from what we ship with beta.
