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.

however, the Seamonkey project page has NOT yet listed version 1.06. perhaps by tomorrow or by the end of this week they'll mention Seamonkey 1.06. In the meantime, Seamonkey 1.06 browser can be obtained here:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.0.6/

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:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353537

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
