Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one internet
suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.7 closes
several
security vulnerabilities and fixes several smaller problems found in
previous versions. With that, SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as
its sibling Firefox, which is issuing updates for the same problems this week
as well.
The SeaMonkey team urges users of older SeaMonkey versions, including the
SeaMonkey 1.0.x series, which no longer receives security updates, to upgrade.
Additionally, the team continues to strongly urge people still using the old
Mozilla Suite or Netscape 4, 6 or 7 to upgrade to the new SeaMonkey 1.1.7
version.
All these older software packages suffer from a large and steadily increasing
number of security vulnerabilities because they are no longer being maintained.
SeaMonkey 1.1.7 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar
suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security.
SeaMonkey 1.1.7 is available
for free download from the open source project’s website at
www.seamonkey-project.org.
