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. | [[SeaMonkey:Future Releases|Future releases]] will see heavy changes though, mainly those should be a complete transition to toolkit/ code.

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). | Additionally, in this process, we will pick up the Gecko transition to using the new cairo-based rendering once it happens.

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. | 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. | ||
