 === Release Train ===
-* SeaMonkey 2.33.1 was released on 23 March and is the most recent release.
-** there were 15 [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/#firefox37.0.1 security fixes] (5 of which critical) in the Gecko 37 cycle
-** there were 13 [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/#firefox38 security fixes] (5 of which critical) in the Gecko 38 cycle
-** there were 13 [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/#firefox39 security fixes] (4 of which critical) in the Gecko 39 cycle (all but one also affected and fixed for 38.1.0 ESR)
-** there were 14 [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/#firefox40 security fixes] (4 of which critical) in the Gecko 40 cycle (all but 3, one of which critical, also affected and fixed for 38.2.0 ESR)
-** contributed trunk/aurora builds are available for testing, see {{bug|1169140}} and [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2939531 Contributed SeaMonkey Win32 builds for testing]
-** There are some builds up on Google Drive which Ratty has uploaded to [http://seamonkey.callek.net/contrib/ http://seamonkey.callek.net/contrib/].
-** obviously, this can't be an acceptable permanent solution...
 * Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=bW96aWxsYS5jb21fZGJxODRhbnI5aTh0Y25taGFiYXRzdHY1Y29AZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ Releases Scheduling]
 ** merge day was 10 August as scheduled
 * SeaMonkey 2.35 release:
-** (ewong) is expected this week, along with, hopefully, 2.38 beta. Due to certificate server issues, we need to do a beta release from 2.38 at the latest (2.39 would have problems).
+** Released September 3rd 2015.
+* SeaMonkey 2.38b1 release:
-==== SeaMonkey 2.35 Release ====
+** Released September 7th 2015.
-* <s>We plan to release SeaMonkey 2.35 asap in August</s>. We missed this deadline but should have a release this week (September).
+* The one week early migration on the mozilla trees seems to be intentional. Callek thought we had another week, but doubts we'll get another 38 beta.
-** For windows builds, we have a loaner win machine from Mozilla for us (i.e. ewong) to do manual window builds.
-** (ewong): Suggesting early September, but we shall see.
 ===== ewong =====
-* I have done nothing on the Nightlies/Aurora as I've been concentrating on getting Win32 builds and repacks done.
+* Started doing nightlies again on the Win32, but due to the fact that they need to be triggered manually, 'nightlies' would be considered a misnomer.  "Regularlies" would probably be a better word.  Maybe "somewhat regularly".
-** The Win32 2.35 release builds was completed on Friday (28th August 2015).
-** The 2.35 l10n Win32 repacks were done on late Sunday/Early Monday (30th/31st August 2015)
-*** The busted l10n linux/osx repacks (ca, fi, ja(linux), ja-JP-mac(osx), sv-SE, pt-PT) were retriggered on Monday 31st August 2015.
