I now see candidate builds of Seamonkey 2.1 RC2 posted today on the Mozilla FTP site. Looks like the final release of Seamonkey 2.1 will be pushed back several days, perhaps around Memorial Day weekend.

FF 5 is behind the door (24.06.2011); will Seamonkey 2.2 see the world with FF 5? or will arrive latter again ?

@Thiago: Seamonkey 2.2 will be based on Firefox 6.0, not 5.0. I know because I'm beta testing a recent SM 2.2a1pre nightly build and it identifies itself as version 6.0a1. So, no, Seamonkey 2.2 will not be released around the same time Firefox 5.0 comes out in late June.

Ok, official answer:

2.1 == Gecko 2 (Firefox 4)
2.2 == Gecko 5 (Firefox 5)
2.3 == Gecko 6 (Firefox 6)
2.4 == Gecko 7 (Firefox 7)

with the following caveat, "we reserve to right to change version numbers that correspond to our releases at our discretion"

But there will be releases to carry along with the various Gecko versions. The part that may have confused you, is that up until a week or so ago, we did not even have hourly builds on those other Gecko's, and even as I write this, Gecko 5,6 and 7 are all reporting as SeaMonkey 2.2 in version number.
