SUITERUNNER has landed.

The MOZ_XUL_SWITCH has been thrown. SuiteRunner has landed on the trunk and the tinderboxen are now cycling as I speak, er type. XPFE is dead, long live SuiteRunner!

Can yo tell where the builds are located?

Hendikins · Post by **Hendikins** » May 29th, 2007, 12:13 pm

Nowhere yet

All nightly builds from this point will be suiterunner builds, and are labelled as 2.0a1pre.

Ah, okay. So I will simply find them here, right?

I would assume so, yes.

Jup, "seamonkey-2.0a1pre.en-US.mac.dmg" has arrived in "2007-05-29-09-trunk"

No Win32 build so far it seems...

They'll arrive in due course, and I'll fix my autofox script in due course too

Suiterunner1.5a has a long way to go before it is anything like Seamonkey1.5a.
It is a sad thing. Too many bugs to list.

*sniff* XPFE has served us well for years, though. I'm not objecting to the switch, but just remember it.

Well, if you're on trunk builds, you can't really complain when we spring a crash landing on you. Although we haven't had a proper crash landing in yonks...

The fact of the matter is, this is a major change, and of course some things are going to be different or broken. This is why it happens in the <i>alpha</i> stage of development. By the time it gets to release stage it will be in much better shape than the current XPFE builds are in.

If you are in a position that means you can't handle the changes, trunk builds aren't the best thing for you to be using. I'm happily using Suiterunner (and have done for a while), and I know it isn't up to the same level of quality as XPFE SeaMonkey is right now, but that is the risk you take using the latest <i>development</i> code.

For the adventurous [Windows] types, there are now both installer and zip packages on the Mozilla FTP site (apparently 2007052914 trunk builds)...

Note that the installer packages are now considerably smaller than with previous trunk Windows builds - I would assume this is because of using the NSIS installer with "lzma" option, or maybe it is just "bzip2" - either one would beat the pants off of gzip-style compression.

In any case, we are certainly living in "interesting times".

Very nice

Seems 2.0a isn't less stable than 1.5a was! Also the Firefox-like Add-on Manager is great.
I only wonder why "View" -> "Apply Theme" is still there, but doesn't do anything!
(made me think Skin-Support is disabled for a short moment, until I noticed it moved to Add-on Mgr)

Only thing I'm missing at this moment is Adblock Plus and NoScript - both don't like SeaMonkey 2.0a yet

I'm sure it will be culled in due course - Suiterunner is basically at dogfood stage (ie: usable for developers/testers).

NoScript likes it very much, actually

Can someone confirm that the build identifier:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/0000000000 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre

means SuiteRunner.

I built from cvs a few hours ago my time and just like to check it is suiterunner. Am expecting it to be but doesn't mean it is - sometimes no usual stuff has to be updated before it builds latest.

Thanks
