Just popped up... bug 679705, Tracking bug for build and release of SeaMonkey 2.3.1. That's likely a chemspill release...

Nope. No security problem. Just a bug that will prevent SeaMonkey from updating in future (need to change a pref to point to the new CA certificate). Otherwise users will be stuck with whatever version they are on (unless they download a new version manually).

Thanks, so people who already updated from 2.2 to 2.3 won't be able to update to 2.3.1 from AUS once it's out?

People who are now on 2.3 won't be able to auto-update to 2.x (where x>3) if they:
1. Don't upgrade to 2.3.1 within the next 40 days (well 39 days). or
2. Add a pref to about:config manually.
