I see that SeaMonkey has just hit 1.06. If this is a security upgrade, will their be a GRE change for KM shortly? I know Dorian has been working with the new webpage, which is really a 1000% improvement, but should be looking for an upgrade or is the GRE in 1.02 more than adequate?

Terry,
The forum upgrade is 100% success - no spam - I come here only too read now :-)
I do not know whether it 1.02 GRE is adeaquate but Dorian also invested much work time in a 1.1 alpha2 (=dev version) that has a GRE 1.8.1 & new modular macros.
The GRE alone could probably be used 4 updating 1.02 if security requires new GRE.
greetings to ( Texas? ) You from Hannover

Yes, SeaMonkey 1.06 contains security upgrades. See the
list of fixed vulnerabilities.

hi noel-pg2, we need 1 or 2 GRE files patched, else there is a (optical mini) bug.
(we also have dev version of GRE 1.8.0.8prev that is used in SMonkey 1.8.0.6))

I don't like seamonkey 1.06, it seems deprecated.

& I like the GRE 1.8.0.8. But i bet Dorian will use the GRE better suited for k-m's.

I feel that we should develop a clearer definition of what we mean by a GRE so that as many people as possible can experiment with the available seamonkies.
One place to start might be seamonkey's GRE installer.
I am writing this from a hybrid browser experiment based on a Seamonkey GRE installed by a recent 1.8.1-Gecko gre-win32-installer.exe It seems to function normally on WindowsXP professional SP2 (but please note that it has no functioning view-history command). Since it is based on 1.8.1, it should also work on Win9X/ME.
This browser uses GRE rv1.8.1 nightly version 2006 11 08 05
(seamonkey/nightly/2006-11-08-05-mozilla1.8/windows-xpi/gre-win32-installer.zip )
with the addition of the following files from a functioning K-Meleon 1.0.2
* \k-meleon\chrome (folder)
* \k-meleon\defaults (folder)
* \k-meleon\kplugins (folder)
* \k-meleon\skins (folder)
* \k-meleon\Tools (folder)
* \k-meleon\workspace (folder)
* \k-meleon\k-meleon1.02b2.exe
* \k-meleon\profile.ini
* \k-meleon\readme.html

To get GRE: I still use the process we had last year to make 0.9 updates.
I use: seamonkey-1.1b.en-US.win32.zip (or similar full zip) that has more files.
To get rid of components k-m does not use?
I do a file compare of k-meleon folder - we do not need all their dll and
none of the exes. The same with components folder. I just chuck those out that we do not have - both dll and xpt (after that delete the 2 dats in components so that a smaller one is cretaed; compreg.dat & xpi.dat are AFAIK inventory of xpt ).
If i find any that are more in k-meleon folder i copy them to Test folder.
*\ like You did.
I found that k-m.exe will work with GRE 1.8x and 1.9x if You try hard enough and tolerate some faults? SM, Xul-runner & non static FFoxes can be used by k-m.exe.
Have fun testing!
btw: Dorian patches gklayout.dll.

By now, marcopolo and guenter, you should see Seamonkey 1.06 mentioned here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
I like Seamonkey browser. I even tested Seamonkey 1.1b (beta) and it works well even under Win95. too bad I cant say the same for Firefox 2.0 which crashes under Win95 as the FF 2.0 Win95 startup crash is mentioned here:

big thx noel-pg2,
& i also found a 1.8.0.9pre at Uni of Oregon.
SeaMonkey: You can take much of the Chrome away (even Editor chrome & such inside jars), try to place used profile inside installation folder & cut out big splash screen with resource hacker - after that it is ideal for old windows & should run about as sweetly as k-m and You do not miss the FFox2. Greetings
