Software Update: Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.0.1

Mozilla Foundation has released the first update for SeaMonkey version 2.0. SeaMonkey is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite and consists of a web browser and programs for e-mailing and reading news. In addition, there is a simple HTML editor. Unlike the Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey is maintained by the community, while the Seamonkey Council oversees maintenance. The main changes in version 2.0 are that the web browser is now based on Firefox 3.5, the MailNews application can also display RSS and Atom feeds, and the password and download manager has been greatly improved. In version 2.0.1, the following improvements have also been made:
