The SeaMonkey project has released [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/ SeaMonkey 1.0] in Janury, 2006, and continues development of that internet application suite in three ways:
* [[SeaMonkey#Development|Development]]:
*First, SeaMonkey 1.0.x releases will be security and stability updates to SeaMonkey 1.0 (happening on the so-called "Mozilla 1.8.0 branch")
** SeaMonkey 2.126, currently Trunk
*Second, work is being done to add [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315312 some new features] to the suite without changing the bases that SeaMonkey 1.0 built upon. The result of that, will be released as SeaMonkey 1.1 as look and feel the same as 1.0 but with those features added. (This is done on "Mozilla 1.8 branch")
** SeaMonkey 2.125, Beta channel (not observed)
*Third, we are working on migrating the whole application to the new backend framework used by our close relatives Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. and even moving toward using the new "XULRunner" architecture. At the same time we're looking to restructure the SeaMonkey-specific code to be in a common place in a more sensible structure. This will bring lots of new possibilites, like having the new Extension Manager, less development difference between Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, a better localization framework ("source L10n") and a theme rework, but it also means some bigger changes in how SeaMonkey's backend behaves. We'll try to retain the feel of the well-known suite though as good as possible. The current work title for a release from that work is "SeaMonkey 1.5", but this is subject to change, and that release is not to be expected before 2007. (This work is happening on "Mozilla trunk")
<!-- ** SeaMonkey 2.124, Release channel (not observed)-->

When announcing in the [http://www.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html "transition plan" document] that there won't be any more official releases of the Mozilla Application Suite, the Mozilla Foundation promised to still provide the new mozilla.org-hosted SeaMonkey project with needed infrastructure to do further development on the suite code and release it under the project's new name.

That doesn't mean we don't need an even bigger group of developers working on the product or taking resposibilities of certain areas in the project. We also need [[http://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey:QA|people doing QA and regular testing]] on our product. The development community of SeaMonkey is structured into [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/project-areas.html project areas] which cover different parts of the SeaMonkey project. Many of those still need help from more developers, if you want to lend us a hand there, please contact [mailto:seamonkey-council@mozilla.org seamonkey-council@mozilla.org].

Several bugzilla flags track iussues that need to be fixed for our upcoming releases:


A 'blocking-seamonkey1.0.1' flag has been set up in bugzilla to help keep track of what needs to be done before SeaMonkey 1.0.1.  You can [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?product=Mozilla%20Application%20Suite&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=blocking-seamonkey1.0.1 create your own query] with this flag, or view the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Mozilla+Application+Suite&resolution=---&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=blocking-seamonkey1.0.1%2B open approved bugs] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Mozilla+Application+Suite&resolution=---&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=blocking-seamonkey1.0.1%3F yet to be approved bugs] blocking the release.

In preparation for "SeaMonkey 1.5", the first step is that we have to get SeaMonkey to use the infrastructure of the new products (for example the toolkit which is discussed in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255807 bug 255807]), preferrably up to the whole XULRunner thingy.
The [[SeaMonkey:suiterunner|suiterunner]] page has information on development that happened for the big platform conversion in SeaMonkey 2.0.
We also should port a few features of the new apps back to SeaMonkey, but retain what makes us like the suite.
 
The [[SeaMonkey:Toolkit_Transition]] document describes what's planned for that big transition.


We also have a [[SeaMonkey:Suite_Directory_Layout]] document that describes how the new mozilla/suite/ directory in the CVS repository should be structured.

This Mozilla Wiki section covers documents about the SeaMonkey Project, which develops an "all-in-one internet application suite", based on code of the previous Mozilla Application Suite.

For quick answers to common questions, please explore the SeaMonkey FAQ!

History

In 2005, the Mozilla Foundation released a "transition plan" for the Mozilla Application Suite, in which they announced that there won't be any more official releases of the Mozilla Application Suite. At the same time they promised to still provide the newly created, mozilla.org-hosted, SeaMonkey project with needed infrastructure to do further development on the suite code and release it under the project's new name.

The team

A group of very active SeaMonkey developers make up the SeaMonkey Council, which is responsible for project and release management.

That doesn't mean we don't need an even bigger group of developers working on the product or taking responsibilities of certain areas in the project. We also need people doing QA and regular testing on our product. The development community of SeaMonkey is structured into project areas which cover different parts of the SeaMonkey project. Many of those still need help from more developers; if you want to lend us a hand there, please contact seamonkey-council@mozilla.org.

Here is a page with a list of the currently known supporters.

How to help

Our Project Goals document describes where the project is basically headed.

You can help by working on SeaMonkey QA as you use SeaMonkey. We need help testing changes for SeaMonkey 2.x.

To get started with the project, read the getting involved page and/or join in the developer discussions in mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey or #seamonkey.

If want to contribute to SeaMonkey localization, read our SeaMonkey:Localization page.

Development

The suiterunner page has information on development that happened for the big platform conversion in SeaMonkey 2.0.

The SeaMonkey:New for 2.0 document details the new features we have been picking up for 2.0, these are mainly as a result of the toolkit transition.

We also have a Suite Directory Layout document that describes how the new mozilla/suite/ directory in the Mozilla CVS and comm-central hg repositories should be structured.
