 18 Jan, 2007 2:53 pm SeaMonkey 1.1 released |
[sdp=81448] |
|
The SeaMonkey Council has released SeaMonkey 1.1.
Release Notes wrote: | 
New Features and Fixes
General
* ChatZilla has been updated to a newer version (Bug 324439)
* [Mac] Menus and menu popups use more native styling (Bug 301105)
* [Linux] When launching SeaMonkey, already-running instances are detected (Bug 122698)
Browser
* Spelling is checked when writing in textareas (Bug 302050 and bug 338318)
* A warning page is now shown before displaying about:config (Bug 339720)
* Tooltips from web pages can now be multiple lines, either due to automatic text wrapping or explicit newlines added to the text value (Bug 356900)
* When you visit a secure site, the URL bar changes color to turns make security status more visible (Bug 335113)
* When using keyword URLs, it is no longer necessary to type "keyword:" (typing "keyword:" will no longer work). Just type the keyword name (Bug 337339)
* You can now drop URLs and bookmarks between existing tabs, which will result in a new tab being created where you dropped the URL (Bug 324591)
* When hovering on a tab, the tooltip now displays a preview of the tab's contents (Bug 315207)
* The search sidebar now behaves better (Bug 252802)
* The bookmarks menu and personal toolbar folder overflow menu now have context menus (Bug 50504)
Mail & Newsgroups
* Message labelling has been superceded by tagging, which provides much more than the original 5 labels and comes with new preferences (Bug 342560 and others)
* The preferences for junk mail have been reorganized, and can now be set on a per-account basis (Bug 335846)
* Improved phishing detection (Bug 326082 and others)
* [Linux, Mac] New mail notification has been improved (Bug 327613, 305384, and others)
Address Book
* It is now possible to move or copy cards between address books. Cards can only be copied to mailing lists, so you need to use ctrl key while dragging to copy the card to the mailing list. When dragging cards between address books, the default action is move, use ctrl to copy instead. (Bug 35837)
New Issues
These are items that have been added to the Known Issues page since the last release (SeaMonkey 1.0.7), although the bugs themselves may have existed previously.
General
* [Windows] Sending documents as an e-mail attachment from within Excel or Word (applications which use MAPI) may not work. Workaround: in a command prompt, go to the SeaMonkey installation directory and run "regsvr32 MapiProxy.dll" (Bug 361233).
* Notification of new mail may fail when some messages are spam. This is believed to only affect Windows 95, and not newer versions. (Bug 365180).
* After installing a new dictionary, you may need to move it from the components/myspell directory to the dictionaries directory. This should not be needed for dictionaries from Mozilla Addons, which work out-of-the-box with SeaMonkey 1.1
* Attempting to compose, forward, or reply to a message may result in a non-functional compose window. To work around it, open a new compose window, close the new window, and then close non-functional one. If you try again, it will work. (Bug 307672 - this bug was present in SeaMonkey 1.0.x as well)

Thanks for the information. I decided to give it a whirl even though I know in my heart that I'll likely keep FF2 as my default. But there's something about it that brings back my Netscape days and that's a good (sort of nostalgic) thing.

I have both 1.0.7, and 1.1 from an unzipped file. It works fine that way. Any recommendation about chucking 1.0.7, and installing 1.1? Should 1.0.7 be uninstalled first? Can the 1.0.7 profile be use for 1.1 without problems?

I installed SM 1.1 today. On one machine I uninstalled 1.07 first; on the other, I installed without uninstalling the earlier version. In both cases, the installs worked and the 1.07 profiles were retained with no problem.

It worked, mostly, well. I did not remove third party software, as prompted, i.e. extentions, and had no problems. However, 1.1 came back without Tabs, which were in 1.0.7.
Also the Sky Pilot Classic Theme causes problems. I had a devil of a time getting the File and Edit to dropdown in Mail.

In Windows, I have always uninstalled previous versions of software, before installing a new version, unless the new version specifically states uninstalling the previous version is not necessary.

There is another thread about problems with SM1.1, and I confirmed some of the problems.
For instance, it comes (for me at least) with Quick Launch checked, although I have no evidence that Quick Launch is doing anything. In fact, there was no icon in the systray, which appeared after uncheck, and then checked again the Quick Launch box. After closing SM I found about 18MB for seamonkey.exe in the task manager. This morning, nothing in the systray, and nothing in the task manager. And, of course, the Quick Launch box was unchecked. I rechecked it, and the icon is still present in the systray, after closing SM, and, sure enough I see 18 MB in the task manager for seamonkey.exe.

Fulvio - if you did not report that as a bug, please do so, it sounds like a big problem.
I reported a bug earlier pertaining to the UI in the Linux release of SM 1.1.

Edward,
I am still puzzled but what is going on. When I restarted the computer, SM was not in the systray, nor did I see anything in the task manager. However, no sooner that I started SM, it showed the icon, and loaded quickly. The program Startup Control Panel is showing the item
as HKCU/run. At this point, I have so many inconsistencies that I can't submit a bug report.

It won't install for me. The installer file downloads all the required files, but when it tries to install I get this error:
Any ideas?

Are you using the stub or the full installer? Try clearing your temp files. If that fails, there's always the zip version that does not require installation.

If I open the email client first and then the browser from the quick launch bar, everything works fine. But, if I open the browser first and then the email from the quick launch bar, the email won't open.

What is the Quick Launch bar, and where is it?

The quick launch is the area just to the right of the start button. These small icons require only one click to activate the program.
