SeaMonkey 1.1.17 Released

[Robert Kaiser]

Today, the SeaMonkey project released a new version of its all-in-one 
Internet suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.17 closes several security vulnerabilities 
and fixes a few smaller problems found in previous versions. With that, 
SeaMonkey stays at the same level of security as its sibling Firefox 2, 
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 1.1.17 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 
1.1.17 is a modern, drop-in replacement, providing the same familiar 
suite functionality with additional features and fully up to date security.

SeaMonkey 1.1.17 is available for free download from the open source 
project's website at www.seamonkey-project.org.
