Mozilla Lightning 1.0 beta 1 adds several new features to the calendar extension including seamless integration into the new Thunderbird 3.0 user interface, support for SeaMonkey 2.0 as a host application as well as improvements to the extensions’ stability, performance and memory consumption.

  • Seamless integration into the new Thunderbird 3.0 user interface
  • The different modes (calendar view, task view) are now diplayed in tabs
  • Lightning now supports SeaMonkey 2.0 as a host application
  • You can now define multiple alarms for a single event
  • CalDAV support and interoperability with various CalDAV servers have been improved
  • The application stability, performance and memory consumption have been improved
  • A full list of changes that have gone into this release can be found on The Rumbling Edge website (LINK MISSING)

It should also be noted that Lightning 1.0 beta 1 does not support Mozilla Thunderbird 2.x anymore. Users who have not switched to the new version of the email client will have to keep using Lightning 0.9x instead. It is also a good idea to check the known issues before starting the installation to avoid incompatibilities and other problems.

Mozilla Lightning 1.0 beta 1 can be downloaded from the project’s homepage at the Mozilla website.

Those are the five most popular web browsers on the Internet. If you would ask users to mention two more most would probably have difficulties answering the questions while others might mention Flock and Seamonkey (and probably Netscape). Seamonkey is a Mozilla project. It combines not only a web browser but also other Internet related apps under its hood including an email client, IRC client, newsgroup (Usenet) reader and HTML editor. That’s an impressive list for one application and it could remind Internet veterans of the Netscape Communicator suite that also combined many of those features under the hood. Most might be surprised that Seamonkey, which is also known as the Mozilla Application Suite, is in fact based on source code used in Netscape Communicator.

The first release candidate of Seamonkey 2.0 has been published on the Mozilla Seamonkey project page. Interested users can download the Internet suite for all supported operating systems (Windows, OSX and Linux) and languages. A page full of changes relative to the latest Seamonkey 1.0 stable release has been posted by the developers. The list is huge. Some of the noteworthy additions include session restore, tabbed mail, switch to the Toolkit backend used by Firefox, improved password manager and download manager, update of the Gecko rendering engine and dropped support for Windows NT 4, Windows 9x, Windows ME and Mac OSX 10.3.
