- Released! (including complete auto-updates, btw.)
- How is testing feedback so far?
- Generally positive on Mozillazine. Everyone is impatient for 2.0final.

Bug Queries
open blockers
all blockers
blocker requests
- SeaMonkey developers will need to nominate bugs that they think should be considered for blocking Beta 1.
- Target/freeze dates? Sync with Firefox 3.5 beta 4 and/or Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 as much as possible?
- Firefox 3.5b4 has a code freeze on 6th April and planned release on 14th April; unfortunately Thunderbird 3.0b3 is still TBD.
- We will continue keeping an eye on Firefox and Thunderbird with a tentative freeze and release schedule for SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 in a mid-April time frame.
Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning
Major wanted/needed features:
- bug 381157 Download manager backend.
- Callek should have patch up by tomorrow (sans some pref migration).
- Help needed for the progress dialog UI.
- bug 472001 UI for download manager.
- Review done as far as possible with the code only. Waiting on backend.
- Toolbar customization:
- bug 413385 MailNews.
- Ratty will be starting on this next. Filed bug 481862 (The Main MailNews window needs suitable button icons for small button mode) so that customizable toolbar buttons in MailNews Modern won’t be so terrible.
- Plans on other components?
- None at the moment. Volunteers welcome.
- Customizable Composer toolbars would save us a whole pref panel.
- bug 413385 MailNews.
- bug 456757 Modern theme update.

- Expect next patch for feeds preview to be done for next week. I’m on classes again, I will hardly be able to join the meeting.
biesi
Callek
- Blog added to http://planet.mozilla.org.
IanN
- bug 471932 Do some tidy up/fixing of feed subscription and related code – fixes lots of issues with the new shared code – new patch with updated folderDeleted tests is STILL waiting for review, new unbitrotted version created.
- Usual reviewing and commenting.
- Done some more coding but nothing as yet ready to review – main work has been looking at TNEF attachments.
KaiRo
- Got lots of new ideas and visions for the future (of the world in general, not SeaMonkey-specific) at Lift09 in Geneva.
- Tagged, built and released SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 3, including website changes, announcements and automatic updates for users of previous alphas.
- Repackaged, tested and released 13 experimental language packs for that newest milestone.
- Tagged and built a first candidate for SeaMonkey 1.1.15
- As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.
mcsmurf
- Helped Neil and jag fixing bug 466994 New FAYT implementation prevents entering any text in text input boxes while search is active; would probably have been a SeaMonkey 2 final blocker
- Created a patch for bug 470175 “Find as you type” should be stopped upon loading a new webpage
- Looked at bug 481836 url bar autocomplete fills in nonexistant URL, strange things happen when you enable autofill because of the new Places code returning results the old code did not expect; Neil already had a patch for that one, need to improve one minor thing in the patch (match case-sensitive, not case-insensitive)
