So with the desperate need of getting a release done, the project felt it was a good time to build 2.46 before something crawled out of the moco workshop to put a kaibosh on our release… little did we know. (Yay!) though we still have some l10n nightly troubles (bah humbug). Since 2.40… the releng team has been ‘trying’ to unbust the infrastructure to the point that things are starting to go green. Tl dr (or if you wish, you can still read) Just want to mention that 2.46 is currently being spun… and by spun, I mean wrenched… like loosening a very tight bolt that’s been superglued to the screw.Īt the start of the process, we managed to hit a few hiccups… well…not so much as hiccups but boulders the size of Boulder, Colorado with large signs saying “Stop… you cannot pass!” (Hyperbole much?) The changes page lists an overview of new features and fixes relative to our last stable release, SeaMonkey 2.0.5.Why? Is the SeaMonkey project dead? The last was 2.40! That’s a long time ago! (well, not really… but long enough.) Where is everyone? Why has there been no posts or mentions? (and a host of other questions…)
Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" support has been dropped due to newer features needing system interface only available on 10.5 and higher.Support for WebGL and for Direct2D acceleration on Windows has been added (all disabled by default).
JS-ctypes support has been improved, allowing in-application JavaScript code to access native system libraries.A new HTML5 parser is used for all HTML documents, and new DOM and HTML5 features including the Drag & Drop API and the File API, which allow for more interactive web pages, are now supported.New CSS attributes such as gradients, background sizing, and pointer events have been implemented.On Mac OS X, plugins supporting Core Animation rendering can now draw faster and more efficiently.For even more dynamic display, CSS transitions are now supported as well. SMIL animation in SVG is supported, and SVG attributes mapped to CSS properties can now be animated using that.
HTML5 video can be played in full screen.
