I've been using the sneak preview and haven't been able to find anything wrong - even though I've defied all warnings and used it with production data. This baby seems pretty stable to me :-)

Is this the same as "build3" or do you need additional testing?

This is build3 going public for wider testing. You don't need to re-test the same things, but we want more people testing it and for more usecases - if no major issues are found, we'll convert exactly those builds into the final 2.0 release after all.
Hi there, sorry, if it has been discussed already or if it doesn't fit here - but from my point of view SM 2.0 has some "minor glitches". Whne I select custom installation I'm not able NOT to install the e-mail client (I already use Thunderbird and don't want to change that - I like programs separated). The problem is: even when I have set TB as my default e-mail client, when I click on a "mailto" link, SeaMonkey tries to do the job instead of TB (I'm using SM 2 RC2). I would appreciate if SeaMonkey would be installable completely without the e-mail client. Give user the choice, please don't descend to "MS bundling" level ;-). Thanks.

Eh - if you want SeaMonkey without Mail/News then why not try Firefox?

Because Firefox is not SeaMonkey ;-). Just because they have the same rendering engine does not mean they can substitute each other. It's about user experience. The same way I would ask "why using one web browser when I can use another" ;-) I like SM, I like its preference settings, I like its features (some of them), I like the way it behaves and there "is" (sort of) one extension that I like very much and that is designed specifically for SM: MultiZilla (it doesn't work with FF - but it doesn't work with SM2 either and the development of it looks stopped, which is why I'm considering leaving SM at all, but I want to give it (both SM and MZ) a chance - force of habit ;-).

See the thread "Seamonkey v2 RC - How to disable email feature?" on mozilla.support.seamonkey.

Is anyone else trying to build SeaMonkey 2.0 RC2 on Solaris 10? I've made significant progress with RC1, but I'm getting hung up with Cairo-related errors. I'm trying RC2 now.
I'm using the following locally built packages for this:

That cairo is way too old, does configure not already tell you that? If you want to use system-cairo I think you should install cairo 1.8.2 (or at least 1.6.x). Peter.

The new installer, which was borrowed from Firefox and Thunderbird, only supports components packaged as extensions. mailnews is not an extension, and it would be very hard to make it one.
Other things were given priority over fixing the installer for 2.0. This will hopefully be fixed for 2.1.

Thanks, but what I really want to see is what's changed/fixed between each SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta release and RC release, not just the general notes for what's new in SM2.0...

See the second link in my footer. I'll post the changes between Beta 2 and 2.0 final there before the latter is released (i.e. probably at the end of the week).
