SeaMonkey 1.1 (based on the "Gecko 1.8 branch") builds on SeaMonkey 1.0 and improves it with a few additional features as well as picking up Gecko 1.8 development. The basic structure of source, backends and the application remains unchanged and continues the "tradition" we picked up from Mozilla suite. | |||

Future releases will see heavy changes though, mainly those should be a complete transition to toolkit/ code. This will entail a lot of backend grunt work, so feature additions will likely have to be lower priority. Once the transition to toolkit is complete, we want to move to XULRunner - being based on toolkit already should make this as painless as possible (which is still likely to be very painful). Embedders will not be happy. | |||
Additionally, in this process, we will pick up the Gecko transition to using the new cairo-based rendering once it happens. This may also mean dropping support for older systems such as Win9x (not sure about Unix GTK1 toolkit). | Additionally, in this process, we will pick up the Gecko transition to using the new cairo-based rendering once it happens.

The version numbers for those releases will probably start with 1.5, maybe a release fully converted to XULRunner might get version 2.0, but that's not been set in stone yet. | The version numbers for those releases will probably start with 1.5, maybe a release fully converted to XULRunner might get version 2.0, but that's not been set in stone yet. | ||
