Download Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.15

Mozilla Foundation provided SeaMonkey with an update to version 1.1.15 on Wednesday. SeaMonkey is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite and consists of a Netscape-like web browser and programs for e-mailing and reading RSS news, and is completed with a simple HTML editor. Unlike the Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey is community maintained, overseen by the Seamonkey Council. The 1.1.15 release fixes some security vulnerabilities and a series bugs, putting this browser back on par with Mozilla’s other browsers. The release notes for this version look like this:

SeaMonkey 1.1.15 Security Release

Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.15 close several security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in previous versions. With that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its sibling Firefox 2, which is issuing updates for the same problems this week as well.

The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions, including the SeaMonkey 1.0.x series, which no longer receives security updates, to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 1.1.15 version. All these older software packages suffer from a large and steadily increasing number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. SeaMonkey 1.1.15 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security.

SeaMonkey 1.1.15 is available for free download from the open source project’s website at www.seamonkey-project.org.
