SeaMonkey has landed!
Robert Kaiser
As the new newsgroup structure is not yet there, we currently lack an
own developer newsgroup for our project, but some interested people are
listening here:
Finally, the SeaMonkey project has gone public now.
The suite trunk tree has been rebranded to our new name, an announcement
is up at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/news.html and our new
project page is at available at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
Nightlies will appear at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/ as soon as
tinderboxen give us such.
This all does only impact the trunk, the 1.7 tree is still fully managed
by Mozilla Foundation, and Mozilla 1.7.x are the official releases.
From the new project, we plan to release a SeaMonkey 1.0 alpha based on
Gecko 1.8b3, a final based on 1.8, and a beta somewhere between those.
Thanks to all people who support us and who helped us to get our project
public. Special thanks to Asa and Chase for their help on organizational
and technical stuff.

As I noticed here
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/
there is only a gtk1 build for Linux. Will there be a gtk2+xft build?

Oops, installer here *is* a gtk2+xft build.

Exactly. The gtk2 builds are the default now, and gtk1 builds are
explicitely named. That's actually the same as for aviary builds.

nightlies or have they diverged? If so, how do they differ?
Thanks

They are the successors to the Mozilla 1.8b2 nightlies, which have
stopped appearing, as Mozilla Foundation doesn't drive suite development
on trunk any more.
So, SeaMonkey trunk nightlies are the same code as Mozilla trunk
nightlies were previously, just rebranded (and with the usual flow of
patches appearing)...

such as the 1.7 branch, or that it will be separate like Firefox?

Sure, at the moment SeaMonkey just uses the Mozilla profile. Maybe some
day SeaMonkey will get its own profile folder with a migrator for the
Mozilla profile, but atm not.
