--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : seamonkey
Product : Fedora 30
Version : 2.53.1
Release : 2.fc30
URL : http://www.seamonkey-project.org
Summary : Web browser, e-mail, news, IRC client, HTML editor
Description :
SeaMonkey is an all-in-one Internet application suite. It includes
a browser, mail/news client, IRC client, JavaScript debugger, and
a tool to inspect the DOM for web pages. It is derived from the
application formerly known as Mozilla Application Suite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Upgrade to 2.53.1 SeaMonkey-2.53.1, being initially based on the Firefox-56 and
Thunderbird-56 code, incorporates now a lot of backported features and security
fixes from the newer Firefox/Thunderbird versions up to 75. That way it tries to
be a modern browser, preserving the same time the familiar user interface and
the ability to use traditional extensions and addons. This version makes
changes to your profile that can't be reverted in case you want to go back to a
previous version of SeaMonkey. You MUST absolutely do a full backup of your
profile (~/.mozilla/seamonkey/ dir) BEFORE trying to run new version. SeaMonkey
now uses GTK3 library for GUI interface. If you experienced some size issues, go
to "about:config" and try to set "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx"
preference to "1"
(or any other preferred value). You can also use gtk3's environment variables
GDK_SCALE and/or GDK_DPI_SCALE (useful for HiDPI displays). Since Classic theme
uses system desktop theme, it might behaves incorrectly when the underlying
theme (still) does not support gtk3. Full theme add-ons may need changes
because of user interface and internal changes. If you find any problem with
themes, contact the theme author. Before reporting a problem with the user
interface, please make sure to recreate it with either the Classic or Modern
theme. This version now includes "Lightning" calendar. It becomes a standard
part of Thunderbird/SeaMonkey, being just technically organized as an extension.
This version returns providing of Chatzilla and DOM inspector extensions, just
as it always was before. It is likely you need to update your third party
extensions to newer versions. Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can
cause unpredictable problems. If you encounter some strange issues, try
"seamonkey -safe-mode" from command line. Unfortunately, it is now impossible
to continue support of npapi plugins. Thus, java applets no more work :( . All
modern browsers have dropped such support years ago, and even plugin owners
recommend to not use it anymore. Search "browsers with java support" if you
still need it. Sorry for that. Flash is still supported, at least until its EOL
at the end of 2020. Since 2.53.1, 32-bit version (i686 arch) does not provided,
because no more supported. The old format of keys and certificates storage in
the user profiles still preserved in Fedora. DO NOT TOUCH key3.db and cert8.db
files (as it might be recommended in the upstream release notes) -- they still
works as expected. Please, read upstream release notes for more info
