Alex Vincent: Finding files missing a tri-license?

Posted 1 day ago by WeirdAl

Dear Lazyweb,

I realized that for Verbosio, I have forgotten to explicitly add the MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license boilerplate to a number of my files. Although the project is open-source and under these licenses, I still see the missing ... [More] boilerplates as an oversight.

I did a quick Google search for Perl scripts to find these files, and found only this: an Add_License script. It does support MPL, but not the tri-license.

Does anyone out there have a script for identifying these files? I'd prefer to add the boilerplates myself, but I still need to search for where they are not. [Less]

SeaMonkey: SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 1

Posted 1 day ago by Callek

Today the SeaMonkey project is happy to announce a major step in the path to SeaMonkey 2.0.

This release features many improvements, including the long-awaited Add-on Manager (like Firefox uses), memory footprint decreases and performance ... [More] increases, as well as some significant improvements in website rendering and standards support (ACID2 compliance, and most of ACID3).

There have been some changes in supported platforms with this change, including dropping support for Windows 98 and Mac OS X 10.3 [due to changes in the backend]. And due to some of the changes, this release may be more stable on Windows Vista than our current version of SeaMonkey 1.1, even though this is still an Alpha.

We welcome any and all discussions on this alpha on our newsgroups, or you can even file a bug if you find one. Be sure to check our Known Issues prior to filing bugs.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 1 is available for download on the SeaMonkey website. Once you have downloaded and installed this release, we'd like to encourage you to get involved in discussing and reporting problems as well as further improving the product.

Thanks for testing and helping us to make SeaMonkey even better! [Less]

Since Oct 1: 458048 - Drag & drop of tabs crashes browser.
