Check here for the latest updates https://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/downloads/list Spread the word and dust off those PPC laptops/desktops. I have 2.12b4
I have an Aurora build 2.13a2 and of course 2.11 https://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/downloads/list Personally I'm using 2.12b4 fro my everyday use - it seems faster than 2.11 but I have no numbers to prove that. Enjoy SeaMonkey 2.12 for PPC is available as of 8/28/2012

Phil Have others with slow G4s noticed that after a few hours SeaMonkey-ppc web browser becomes painfully slow?
I no longer find it practical on my 733 MHz G4+ tower with OS X 10.5.8. This is a pity as I prefer its mail client to Thunderbird 3.1.20. I have returned to Thunderbird as it is not possible to use SM for mail only - it will only open links in emails in its own browser.

Sorry, whathat i meant was per the issues raised in viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2527655 Posted on Sep Tue 4th 2012 12:46am and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788543 If you folks would bring http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/legacy forward onto the main page http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releas ... unofficial alongside other official unsupported builds ( for example on http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releas ... unofficial ) Contributed builds (other platforms) Note: These are unofficial builds and may be configured differently than the official SeaMonkey builds. Please read their "readme" files for further information Linux/x86_64 Linux/x86_64 .tar.bz2 (readme) (MD5 sum) (SHA1 sum) then SeaMonkey, TenFourFox, TenFourBird and possibly any others would have visibility. Basically what I'm getting at is that for ultimate visibility why not put Legacy Platforms under "Contributed builds (other platforms) " ? Are the legacy platforms not just a flavor of "other platforms" which you don't support either ? The SeaMonkey developer team discussed this several times. We could not reach an agreement to make this page more visible as some members were not in favour of doing this. I tried to push the issue for a while but unfortunately I couldn't get any traction. Sorry about this. Phil I don't understand the distinction between the PPC platforms under Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4 vs the Linux x86_64 that they do allow.
If it doesn't get built by Mozilla they should treat it as an outcast as well. It seems Legacy references are gone altogether now http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.15b4 Anyway whatever ..... Thanks for all your efforts Mozilla may have left the PPC behind but I haven't
