SeaMonkey 2.17.1

Web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple.

The SeaMonkey project at Mozilla is excited to release its completely refurbished next generation of the all-in one Internet suite today: SeaMonkey 2.0, now available for free download, melds the ideas behind Netscape Communicator with the modern platform of Firefox 3.5 to create one of the most compelling open source products for advanced Internet users.

The combination of an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, that has already established a wide user base in its previous incarnations, has been rebuilt on top of the modern Mozilla platform, featuring world-class add-on management among other things.

In addition, it has been improved with:

• Feed support (including an RSS and Atom feed reader in the mail component)
• A modern look
• Restoration of browser tabs and windows after crashes or restarts
• Rabbed mail
• Automated updates
• Smart history search from the location bar
• Faster JavaScript
• HTML5 features (for example video and downloadable fonts)
• And even support for the Lightning calendar add-on (which will issue a beta for installation on SeaMonkey 2.0 in the next few weeks)
