Greetings,
The SeaMonkey Project is pleased to announce the release of SeaMonkey
2.53.7.
This isn't going to be a quick canned notification as there is
significance in this post.
What's so significant?
This could be my last "New release" post here on the newsgroups
(well, unless we release something between now and prior to
newsgroup shutdown).
I can't seem to shake the feeling of the fond memories of
posting here about the new Releases. First it was KaiRo,
then Callek. Then me.
A new era will be upon us when we finally find a new
place to post this (well, aside for on the blog). Hey,
how about I gather everyone's email addresses and spam^H^H^H^H,
post new release updates that way? :D [You can put down
those pitchforks... I was just joking... really]
Jokes aside, it's been a blast posting here and I'm certainly
unhappy that it's going the same way as irc.mozilla.org. But
perhaps the new 'thing' will be better?
Anyway, the end of an era.
[Unless Mozilla changes its mind and say to us "Just kidding,
the newsgroups are here to stay!"]
And as RattyAway [Where are you?] once said.. "Hope springs
eternal.." [ok.. he might not have said that... but let's
roll with that. It's not like he's going to post on here
and rebut thhat.... <smirk>]
I'd like to thank Mozilla for having this medium to allow
us to all talk about SeaMonkey.
"So smoke me a kipper and I'll be back for breakfast!"
Or was it
"Thanks for all the fishes!"
So please check out [1] or [2].
Thanks to all involved.
Edmund

Thanks, and just to note that updating the Ubuntuzilla package (through
its apt repository) without updating the corresponding language pack can
result in the Compose window losing all contents and functionality.
Presumably one can break other builds in a similar way.

We try to keep the lights on :) The newsgroup alt.comp.software.seamonkey has
been created. You can subscribe to it via news.aioe.org if your news provider
does not carry it yet.

laptop. It is installed at C:\Users\Margaret\AppData\Local\SeaMonkey, I
don't know how I happened to get it there but all works fine. I would
like to install the new ver. 2.53.7 and install it as a 64 bit and into
Program Files and point it to a profile I am not using for the 2.45.5.
Is this feasible?

with it in your profile. I think there is a bug open for it. Not sure if it
isfixed now for 2.53.x.
In any case deinstall the old 2.49.5, reboot and then install the new version.
If you check custom for the install you will see where it wants to be
installed. Make a backup of your 2.49.5 profile in case something goes wrong.
While you can use both versions with limitiations when not pointing to the
same profile I would not recommend it. OS integration will always use one of
the insdtalls and usually the latest.

JAS, yes, it is possible ... When you download and install the SM
2.53.7, you should get the option to install it where your current SM is
installed OR you should be able to do a CUSTOM installation and, in that
process, select exactly where you want to install the program.
Before you do the new installation, make a back-up of your current
Profile (just in case!! ;-P ).
You can locate where your Profile is by selecting Edit -> Mail &
Newsgroups account Settings then, on the left portion of that screen,
select "Server Settings" in your e-Mail account. At the bottom of that
screen, you should see "Local directory". The location indicates where
your profile in.
If you have any problems come back here .... or wherever these groups
may move to!!
