The SeaMonkey project released SeaMonkey 1.0 in January 2006 and continues development and [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/ releases] of that internet application suite in three ways:
* [[SeaMonkey#Development|Development]]:
*Firstly, SeaMonkey 1.0.x releases are security and stability updates to SeaMonkey 1.0. (This work takes place on the so-called "Mozilla 1.8.0 branch".)
** SeaMonkey 2.126, currently Trunk
** 1.0.1 released April 2006
** SeaMonkey 2.125, Beta channel (not observed)
** 1.0.2 released June 2006
<!-- ** SeaMonkey 2.124, Release channel (not observed)-->
** 1.0.3 released July 2006
** SeaMonkey 2.99, ESR channel (ESR 102) (not observed)
** 1.0.4 released August 2006
** SeaMonkey 2.88, ESR channel (ESR 91) (not observed)
** 1.0.5 released September 2006
** SeaMonkey 2.75, ESR channel (ESR 78) (not observed)
** 1.0.6 released November 2006, see its [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/seamonkey1.0.6/ Release Notes]
** SeaMonkey 2.65, ESR channel (ESR 68) (not observed)
*Secondly, we are adding some new features ({{bug|315312}}) to the suite without changing the basis that SeaMonkey 1.0 built upon. The result of this work will be released as SeaMonkey 1.1, which will look and feel the same as 1.0 except for the newly added features. (This work takes place on the "Mozilla 1.8 branch".)
** SeaMonkey 2.57, next release branch (ESR 60)
** [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/1.1a.html SeaMonkey 1.1 Alpha] released September 2006, see its [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/seamonkey1.1a/README.html README] for what's new
* Stable (receiving feature, security and stability updates):
*Finally, we are working on migrating the entire application to the new backend framework used by our close relatives Firefox, Thunderbird, etc., and are even moving toward using the new [[XULRunner]] architecture. At the same time we're looking to restructure the SeaMonkey-specific code, aiming to have this code live in a more sensible structure in one common location. This work will mean less development differences between Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, and will result in lots of new possibilities, such as having the new Extension Manager, a better localization framework ("source L10n") and a theme rework, but it will also mean some bigger changes in how SeaMonkey's backend behaves. Despite this, we'll try to retain the feel of the well-known suite as much as possible. The current working title for a release from that work is "SeaMonkey 1.5" (subject to change) with a release not to be expected before 2007. (This work takes place on "Mozilla trunk".)
** SeaMonkey 2.53.x, first released February 2020 &mdash; treated as an ESR branch.
* Historic (not receiving any updates, insecure to use):
** SeaMonkey 2.49.x, first released November 2017 &mdash; switching to ESR branch for 2.49.x releases.
** SeaMonkey 2.48, released in July 2017.
** <s>SeaMonkey 2.47</s>, skipped in favor of 2.46.
** SeaMonkey 2.46, released in December 2016.
** <s>SeaMonkey 2.41&ndash;2.45</s>, skipped due to infrastructure problems.

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]), preferably 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.
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.

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.

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.
