SeaMonkey 2.21b1 and Thunderbird 24.8.1b1

(1/5) > >>

Dave Yeo:
If anyone is interested I've uploaded SeaMonkey 2.21b1 and Thunderbird 24.8.1b1 to Hobbes.
Based on the Bitwise work for Firefox 24.8.1, same requirements and same issues.
Thanks to Bitwise for their work

Andi B.:
Thank you Dave. I'm very interested in Seamonkey.

Is there some improvement in speed compared to 2.14? AFAIR 2.14 is the version which is considerable slower than previous ones.

Hi, Dave, here (on eCS 2.2b2) i got always a crash when i click on a file to download it (no "Download Manager" window for monitoring it), so Ctrl+j ant then the browser crash.
This is the report from POPUPLOG.OS2:

No crash using eCS 2.1GA or any OS/2, maybe the new FOC in eCS 2.2.
Is there a workaround or a solution?

Yes, the speed is much improved over 2.14 and probably close to 2.07.
I see Hobbes seems to have been compromised so have to get the binaries from the OS/2 site

Dave Yeo:
Hi Barb,
This is a crash I haven't seen before though I haven't tested on 2.2b2 yet due to my dial-up barely working.
I note that you are using SNAP which is totally SMP safe, are you using a multi-core machine? Have you tested Firefox 24.8.1? If not can you test and if you get a similar crash open an issue? Hopefully it'll have the same failure and the bitwise folks would I'm sure be better at debugging this.
Why don't you have a "Download Manager Window"? Mine opens fine here when downloading a file, perhaps profile issue?
And what do you mean by the "new FOC"?
I'll try testing under eCS 2.2b2 later and perhaps do another install enabling SNAP, I take it your install is fairly basic?
