== SeaMonkey 1.0 release plan == | |||
SeaMonkey 1.0, the first release of our new project, will be what a "Mozilla 1.8" application suite was meant to be. As such, it will be released from the Gecko 1.8 base, which it will share with the Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and Thunderbird 1.5 releases. | |||
The current plan (as of 2005-09-12) is to release an Alpha and a Beta release from the Mozilla 1.8 branch on the way to that 1.0 release: | |||
* SeaMonkey 1.0 Alpha will be released from Gecko 1.8b4 (or shortly after it), paralleling the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5 Beta1 releases done by Mozilla Foundation. While the basic codebase may be more beta than alpha quality, our new release process is not completely settled, we don't have our final [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/artwork.html Artwork] yet and we have no dedicated release machines in place, so it's better to call this an early testing release or "Alpha". ''We now have [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/contrib/latest-mozilla1.8/ 1.0 Alpha candidate builds]; please help us testing them!'' | |||
* SeaMonkey 1.0 Beta is planned to be shipped off Gecko 1.8b5 and will parallel the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.5 Beta2 releases. This testing release will also incorporate our new [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/artwork.html Logo Artwork] for the first time. | |||
* As already said, SeaMonkey 1.0 is then planned to be shipped off the Gecko 1.8 final release. | |||
The release processes are managed by the SeaMonkey Council, Chris Thomas is the release engineer in charge of that process. | |||
The QA work needed for releases is overseen by our QA lead Andrew Schultz. | |||
