Software Update: Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.24

Spread the love

Mozilla has released version 2.24 of SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite and consists of a web browser and programs for e-mailing and reading news. A simple HTML editor is also provided. Unlike the Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey is maintained by the community, while the SeaMonkey Council oversees maintenance. The list of changes for this release is as follows:

  • Support for Atom Threading Extensions (RFC 4685) has been added.
  • Migrating profiles from Thunderbird supports the new signons file format now (support for the old format has been dropped).
