SeaMonkey 1.1.17 Released

[Robert Kaiser]

Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one
Internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.17 closes several security vulnerabilities
and fixes a few smaller problems found in previous versions. With that,
SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its sibling Firefox 2,
which is issuing updates for the same problems this week as well.

The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions, including
the SeaMonkey 1.0.x series, which no longer receives security updates,
to upgrade. Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people
still using the old Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to
the new SeaMonkey 1.1.17 version. All these older software packages
suffer from a large and steadily increasing number of security
vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained. SeaMonkey
1.1.17 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar
suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security.

SeaMonkey 1.1.17 is available for free download from the open source
project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org.
