Why are the updates for Firefox and Chromium tracked continuously, while Seamonkey is updated only very occasionally? The version on openSUSE 13.1 is still 2.33.1 and Seamonkey complains it is outdated.

Good question. Especially since Seamonkey 2.38 was released a couple of days ago which is AFAIK based on the same components like Firefox 41. So if Firefox 41 is an important security update then Seamonkey 2.38 would also be an important security update. Ciao, Michael.

Seamonkey is not able to keep up with the releases. Sometimes they skip them, usually they are quite delayed after the related Firefox release.
I'll submit it soon. I just submitted Thunderbird 38.3 which also was only available after quite some delay. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-security+owner@opensuse.org

that is part of the problem. 2.35 was released just a bit before the next planned security update was around the corner. So Seamonkey 2.35 is actually in Factory but pushing it into updates would have meant that it finally arrives at the user with already publically announced security issues. So I decided to wait for the next one. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-security+owner@opensuse.org
