Software Update: Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.0.3

Mozilla Foundation has released the third 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. Version 2.0.3 is a so-called maintenace release and contains the following improvements:

What’s New in SeaMonkey 2.0.3:

• Security fixes
• Fixes for a number of non-security-relevant crashes, increasing the stability of the whole platform and the Mail & Newsgroups part of SeaMonkey
• New supported language version: Japanese
• A problem with Outgoing Server (SMTP) connections after migration from older versions was fixed by disabling stricter security checking and reverting to previous behavior for the moment. (Bug 522633)
• Cutting and copying text should not be blocked by certain other Windows applications any more. (Bug 525601)
• Profile migration from 1.x should succeed in more cases on Windows now. (Bug 537525)
• Language packs from 2.0.3 now continue to work with later SeaMonkey 2.0.x versions. (Bug 544096)
• Language packs for all locales now don’t include dictionaries to avoid licensing conflicts. Dictionaries should be installed from the dictionary add-ons page instead. (Bug 537481)
• The internal security module has been updated and new certificate authorities were included. (Bug 528277)
• Opening files from the Mac desktop or Finder should now work even when SeaMonkey is already running. (Bug 521699)
