SeaMonkey, a complete Internet suite featuring a web browser, an email client, and even a full HTML editing solution, has been promoted to version 2.26 Beta 2 and is now available for download and testing.

SeaMonkey is a project built on Firefox, but the developers also implement a lot of their own features and options. This is not a large update, but the final version will certainly have more features.

For example, it's now possible to enter newsgroup names by using autocompletion, the Gamepad API has been enabled and is now present in the application, navigator.plugins is no longer enumerable, the ECMAScript Internationalization API has been enabled by default, and “box-sizing” (dropping the -moz- prefix) has been added.

Also, SharedWorker is now enabled by default, a number of CSS3 variables have been added, the console object is now available in Web Workers, and a number of stability issues have been fixed.

The most stable build of SeaMonkey will probably be released after the next Mozilla Firefox 29 stable is made available.

More details about this version can be found in the official announcement. Download SeaMonkey 2.26 Beta 2 right now from Softpedia.

Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
