Beta 2 of SeaMonkey 2.0 Internet apps suite

The latest beta of the Mozilla-based SeaMonkey Internet-based apps suite has been released, and is downloadable from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0b2/.

Building on the Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Application suites, SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 combines a web browser based on the same core as Firefox 3.5.3 with an email and newsgroups client, a simple HTML editor, web development tools and IRC chat.

Features of the SeaMonkey® Suite

Browser ("Navigator")

Tabbed browsing. Homepage can be multiple pages, in tabs.

Popup blocker.

Image Manager to remove offensive images or speed up the rendering of web sites.

Find as you type: Just start typing to jump from link to link or to find a word or phrase within a page.

Plus: Advanced security settings; Password, Download, and Cookie managers; Themes; multi-language and multi-platform support.

Mail & Newsgroups

Junk mail controls: SeaMonkey's adaptive junk mail control gets smarter with use and is personalized to the e-mail that you receive.

Customizable Labels and Mail Views. Color code email, sort mail with views to help go through email much faster.

Multiple Accounts: Manage all mail through one interface.

SeaMonkey Messenger includes Enterprise-ready features such as S/MIME, return receipts, Address Books, LDAP support, and digital signing.

Composer

Powerful HTML editor with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insertion and deletion of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers.

IRC Chat ("ChatZilla")

Simple yet powerful IRC client. Keep track of multiple networks and channels with a familiar tabbed interface.

Change the look and feel of the chat with motifs; choose from several built-in motifs, many more downloadable, or create with CSS.
