![]() SeaMonkey 2.0 passes the Acid2 test and most of Acid3 and includes all the HTML5 and other new web-facing features also included in Firefox 3.5, such as audio/video elements, downloadable fonts and JIT-compiled JavaScript. Changes range from a better graphics backend (Cairo/Thebes) to improved support for fonts, CSS, DOM and JavaScript. * Gecko, the rendering engine used in SeaMonkey, has seen many improvements since the version used in the last stable release. * Cookie Manager has been improved and now allows searching for cookies by site and cookie name. * A new form manager replaces all previous web form management, and automatically keeps a record of what you type into forms and presents you these options in a drop-down list when you come back. * Download Manager has been completely reworked, including support for cross-session resumable downloads. * Password Manager was switched to an improved version, allowing easier searching, and notification bars replacing modal dialogs for remembering logins. ![]() This feature also enables the Lightning extension to be installed into SeaMonkey for calendering functionality. * Tabbed Mail enables accounts, folders and even single messages to be opened in tabs inside the Mail & Newsgroups window. Synchronization can be disabled per account or for individual folders, and limited to the most recent messages in the Synchronization & Storage settings. * New IMAP accounts will now keep local offline copies by default, as a part of a number of speed improvements when working with IMAP. For subscribing to the feed in the MailNews component, an account for feeds needs to already be created there. The browser detects feeds offered by web pages, can preview them and offers different ways to subscribe to them. * The MailNews component now includes support for reading RSS and Atom feeds. * Toolbars in the browser, main MailNews and message compose windows are now fully customizable, including icon size and whether to display icons and/or text for every major toolbar, all available via their context menus. * History is now stored in a better database solution, so that it can easily keep more information, and the location bar determines which addresses to autocomplete and/or show in the drop down menu with a smarter algorithm based on what you type, searching in both URL and title of visited pages by default. * Reopening closed browser windows (Undo Close Window) is now possible. In addition, users can select to always restore the browser windows and tabs from their last open session when starting SeaMonkey. Now, when SeaMonkey crashes, all your browser windows and tabs will be restored automatically or on request (including data entered in web forms!). * Session restore (crash recovery) has been added. This should ease extension management and development considerably. ![]() * The new Add-on Manager allows to install, update, disable and remove extensions (add-ons), themes and plugins using the same mechanisms Firefox uses. The old profile will not be touched (instead, copies are made). from SeaMonkey 1.x, or even Thunderbird profiles, can be migrated automatically, excluding third-party add-ons (extensions and themes). * The default location of user profiles has changed. Due to this change SeaMonkey is now much closer to Firefox as far as user profiles, add-ons and functionality of user interface elements are concerned. * SeaMonkey uses the same internal platform as Firefox 3.5.4 now.
