May The 4th Be With You!
The releases wiki page is still stating May 4th as release date for Firefox and SeaMonkey security updates, though those may shift a bit. Also, Thunderbird 3.1 Beta 2 is planned to go out that day - and our next SeaMonkey Status Meeting should also happen that day. But all that is not what this post is about.
In today's SeaMonkey Status Meeting, we discussed if and when we should freeze for and ship SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1 to show people things are moving in our project and to get code out to testers. We collected what changes we already have in trunk since the SeaMonkey 2.0 were cut, and the Mozilla platform has given us a ton of new things alone, ranging from speed improvements (in startup, Js, etc.) via privacy improvements (good-bye :visited sniffing!) to new features on the web content (WOFF, SMIL, and more) and platform/development side (js-ctypes, pymake, etc.) - and then there's mailnews work and already some SeaMonkey-specific improvements as well. In short, a lot of things to show to our testers!
Because of that, we decided to put an important date on our schedules:
SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1 code freeze: May 4th, 2010, 23:59 PDT
We'll start builds as soon as possible after that, reopen the tree for 2.1a2pre development and release 2.1 Alpha 1 once we have enough testing (tentatively May 18th, possibly earlier).
So, if you have any code you want to get out to testers in SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1, make sure it lands within the next two weeks!
(And thanks to InvisibleSmiley for the tagline of this post!)

New Patches And Try Builds for Places Bookmarks
I did it again - this time, exactly one month after the initial posting of a full patch set, I updated the places bookmarks patches, now even including the latest work that happened on the Firefox side.
And here are the round 3 try builds from those new patches:As before, please test esp. bookmarks handling in those builds, ideally with copies of real-world profiles (they might destroy anything as they are highly experimental, don't use them with any profile that has no backups) and report any issues you're seeing.

Places Bookmarks: Another Try
I have posted about places bookmarks try builds before, and meanwhile found a few flaws that broke a few things in the first round, have a WIP patch for getting icons set in the database when pages are visited, and ported some small fixes made to the Firefox side of places.
I have just moved to using builds with places bookmarks for my daily browser usage (and ones with L10n-merged German L10n, which should make dogfooding even more fun), so I hope I'll find out about some of the possible issues myself, but more testing from the community is highly wanted!
And here are the round 2 builds:Once again, please test those builds, ideally with copies of real-world profiles (they might destroy anything as they are highly experimental, don't use them with any profile that has no backups) and report any issues you're seeing.
