It's that time again;

SM developers are looking for any/everyone to join in "smoketesting"
SeaMonkey v1.1.8. If you've done it before, you know it's a pretty fast
& easy way to help the dev team.

Details below,

Hi all,

As it's some time since we did our last security and stability update
and a Firefox 2.0.0.12 is also being prepared right now, we are getting
ready for a SeaMonkey 1.1.8 release, scheduled to be released in sync
with or shortly after the Firefox update ships (see
<http://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases>).

The list of fixed security and stability bugs is quite impressive
(<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?keywords_type=anywords&keywords=fixed-seamonkey1.1.8%2Cfixed1.8.1.12%2Cverified1.8.1.12&product=Core&product=Mozilla+Application+Suite&product=Other+Applications>),

so the chance for regressions lives. To avoid shipping with such
regressions, we need extensive testing of the candidate builds.

Those candidate builds are now available at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/candidates-1.1.8/
for all platforms.

Please help us with this testing so we can have a good, secure and
stable SeaMonkey 1.1.8 release!

If you can do some smoketesting, please go to
<http://litmus.mozilla.org/> and do a SeaMonkey 1.1 test run
(<http://litmus.mozilla.org/run_tests.cgi?test_run_id=11>). For further
questions, stop by on IRC in #seamonkey, and ask our QA head ajschult or
other people around there who should know what can/should/needs to be
tested.

Thanks for your help,

Robert Kaiser
