Terryala Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Future of the Mozilla Application Suite: No Official Mozilla 1.8, Community Transition Plan Unveiled Thursday March 10th, 2005 The Mozilla Foundation has published its Mozilla Application Suite transition plan, ending days of speculation about the future of the SeaMonkey project. The announcement confirms that there will be no official Mozilla 1.8 release and offers an apology to all those who believed that there would be. The 1.7.x line will be the last set of Mozilla Application Suite products released and maintained by the Mozilla Foundation and all future suite versions from the Foundation will be minor updates only. However, the Mozilla Foundation will offer infrastructure support to a community effort to continue development of the Mozilla Application Suite, probably under a different name. The exact details still have to be worked out but will broadly follow the plan outlined by Boris Zbarsky. We expect that more details will be posted on the home page of the nascent SeaMonkey community effort over the next few days. Mozilla Foundation President Mitchell Baker has posted background details on the SeaMonkey community transition plan on her weblog.http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6206Grand Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzman Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 That sucks - I like Mozilla.I hope they do continue development under a different name - I don't really want to switch to Firefox and redo my plugins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
