Bug 1169140 - Make available existing private WIN32 builds for testing

Callek has set up a download page on his website to host contributed Win32 builds for testing:
http://seamonkey.callek.net/contrib/
I've just uploaded seamonkey-2.38a1.en-US.win32-20150605-234101.zip Please take it for a trial run and let us know of any problems.

"readme" with hashes & who actually contributed the build, perhaps?
(Heh. Maybe I'll peek at the .txt next time.)

Oh, & IMO, no need for ZIP builds, as the .exe, smaller as it is, can be extracted simply with 7-zip.

My current "UNSEA.BAT" (circa 2010):

Code: Select all

777 x sea*.exe
pause

CC /S core X
CC /S nonlocalized X
CC /S localized X
CC /S optional X
pause

attrib -a /s X\*
pause

rd /s /q core
rd /s /q nonlocalized
rd /s /q localized
rd /s /q optional

pause
exit

777.exe == 7-Zip.exe (command line version & easier for me to type '777' instead of '7-zip')
CC == XXCOPY (provides more functionality then COPY/XCOPY)
(In the OLD days, there was a program "Controlled Copy" aka CC that was the bomb in speed & versatility. And when XXCOPY superseded it, well the CC stuck ;-)

.)

Nothing special there.
Installs into a subdirectory named 'X'.
Adjust as wanted.

Philip, I'm seeing a few possible bugs in this build:

First, there is a 2 second delay in drawing the images of the main toolbar buttons when the browser is loading. If the buttons have CSS surrounds, these are drawn and then 2 seconds later the images load.

Starting in Safe Mode, the browser at first is "maximized" and then after a second resizes to the correct restored size.

I am assuming the two are really the same problem.

Noticed some minor issues whilst using adobe flash player.
SeaMonkey was loading very slowly for me at first.
Disabling hardware acceleration in flash seemed to do the trick.
Now, SeaMonkey 2.38a1 is loading very quickly.
Not sure if this is happening for everyone. :?:

Did a systems check on my computer and everything else is fine.

Also checked other add-ons and plugins, etc. in SeaMonkey.
Working now smoothly for me.

And with respect to the ZIP WIn32 builds, IMHO should be kept as is.
Never use 7-zip myself. And I'm not saying 7-zip is bad software. :wink:

edit#1: Got some feed back from several of our clients who are using this build. They like the idea of having a .zip file to quickly download and extract without having to download/use other software on their computers.
*Perhaps we can have an option set for users to chose between using 7-zip if they wish to do so or just download the ZIP file and then extract them?*
edit#2: Further feed back from our clients. They are really enjoying using 2.38a1 And my colleagues and I haven't heard from anyone experiencing any major issues.

I'm uploading ZIP builds because these don't try to change the windows registry unlike The NSIS installer in the .exe builds.
This means that you an unzip it in a different location to test without having to uninstall your regular SeaMonkey.

I have made some 2.35 builds from comm-release last night in both Win32 and Win64:
You can get them here.

This 2.35 32-bit is not working for me; gives exception c06d007e error (tested on win 7 and XP)

He didn't package ( msvcp120.dll, msvcr120.dll ) in the ZIP, but I get a message to that effect.

You may need the MS VC 2013 runtimes installed, if you don't have it already (otherwise you'll crash on startup).
Or you can simply pull the needed files from a FF 38 (or greater) install & just copy them into the SeaMonkey instalDir: msvcp120.dll & msvcr120.dll.

See if throwing them in gets you working?
Otherwise, working on my end, Win7 x64, SeaMonkey 2.35 x86.

(Also note that there are 32 & 64-bit versions of those files & you'll need to install/copy the respective bit-version depending on the bit-version of SeaMonkey.)

Thanks!
I've got msvcp120.dll & msvcr120.dll from seamonkey-2.37a2 and now 2.35 is working fine.
Also found this comment with more 2.35 windows builds (more languages available):

Thanks so much to Philip Chee, Callek and rn10950.

Tested 2.35.en-US.win64-201050612-212216 in a newish 64bit portable with 12Gb RAM (musician's transposing machine) with her default daily profile:
Default theme, NoScript in full whitelisting mode (ie nothing whitelisted and no embeddings default playing) for a plain domestic browsing session - news sites, no Flash plugin (youtube and equivalent multimedia files downloaded with FlashGot), all pdfs handed out to a third party pdf reader (non-adobe) some gif animations, all downloads handled by DTA multithreading wherever possible.
User.js for a few extension config toggles appears to have been respected.
Networking all seems to run fine.
Can't say that this 2.35 64 bit runs any snappier or different than the 2.38 a1 BuildID=20150523065810 32 bit of Philip Chee's that has been running in this same machine for a couple of weeks now. But then I don't think there's much memory/swap needed for browsing mainly text and music in only a few tabs per session.
Sorry no mail or chat use around here to test.

Good luck with the next official release!

Please take this out for a test drive and report any problems.

Notes:
Built of mozilla-esr38 + THUNDERBIRD_38_VERBRANCH. Note Official 2.35 release will be built off mozilla-release 38 (Probably 38.0.6)
DOM Inspector built off changeset 80c195824f1e. Version shows as 2.0.16pre. I have uploaded 2.0.16 to AMO so SeaMonkey should update to that version if configured.
Chatzilla built off changeset c65366e47dd2. Version shows as 0.9.91.1 . This is a problem because SeaMonkey may update to the version on AMO (0.9.91.1.1-signed).

Looking good!

No issues with Chatzilla for me at the moment.

2.38a1 & 2.39a1 win32 nightly builds have started to show up.

i guess the contributed win32 builds will no longer be needed anymore once I saw the 2.38a1 & 2.39a1 win32 builds posted there.
