New versions of my enhanced Mozilla based apps are available now via
http://pmw-warpzilla.sf.net/

- SeaMonkey 1.1.14 (PmW)
- PmW-Fx 2.0.0.19 (last release of PmW-Fx! see below)
- PmW-Tb 2.0.0.19

They are all based on Gecko 1.8.1.19 on the date of 2008-12-12 and built
from the exact same sources. They correspond directly to the respective
official releases of SeaMonkey, Firefox, and hopefully Thunderbird.
All applications need libc063.dll to run.

This Gecko 1.8.1.19-based release picks up all the changes done by Mozilla
since my Gecko 1.8.1.18 release, i.e. between 2008-10-30 and 2008-12-02.
This includes fixes for approximately 9 security issues, 2 to 4 of which
are rated critical (the exact numbers depend on the product).

No OS/2 specific changes were done since the last release.

Note1: Firefox 2.0.0.20 that will be released very soon only fixes a
Windows problem; I will not rebuild just to get a new version number.

Note2: because Mozilla does not support Firefox 2 any longer this will very
likely be the last release of PmW-Fx! I will try to continue to provide
PmW-Tb and SeaMonkey (PmW) as time allows and official releases are done.
But for a standalone browser, please look at Firefox 3.0.5 or later.

Note3: If you have specific reasons why you haven't updated to Firefox
3.0.x yet, please open a bug on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org or post in the
newsgroup mozilla.dev.ports.os2. Perhaps there is something that I don't
know about and that can be easily improved.

Peter.
