Does Seamonkey 1.12 release have any impact on K-M 1.1? Is a new release required ? Or K-M 1.1 is now imdependent of Seamonkey ?

Grateful if anyone can comment or clarify as I am a bit confused on this

Frank

Hi Frank,
1.) AFAIK NO. Except that ppl congratulate the SM team for their fine application suite.

2.) AFAIK NO. Both are using the newest stable engine:

SeaMonkey 1.12 = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070509 SeaMonkey/1.1.2

K-Meleon 1.1 = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl-NL; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070511 K-Meleon/1.1 (ax)

There is no newer stable engine.

BTW. I have installed the German-Autria version and I have added activeX support myself to K-Meleon which is my default browser. Austria is mentioned as a country in the name because the chrome translator Robert Kaiser is from Austria.

The K-Meleon project traditionally uses chromes based on Mozilla Suite which is called SeaMonkey now (but most of all K-Meleon uses its own translated menus).

For Languages such as Chinese (zh-CN) where You do not have pretranslated suite chromes You could base chrome on an adapted Firefox/XULrunner chrome or translate needed chrome parts Yourself. I know that Hao who is doing a K-Meleon zh-CN translation has/tests one based on a Firefox/XULrunner chrome.

In case You consider to translate K-Meleon to Thailandish language You would probably also try to find a chrome that is translated already.

In the past most ppl that could not find a translated chrome did not bother and used the en-US chrome since chrome items are not used/shown often. In the more distant past (K-Meleon 0.8 and earler) ppl did not even bother to find translated chromes

3.) K-Meleon is an independent browser using the same GRE as SeaMonkey, Firefox, Thunderbird and some other applications.
