Interviewed by CNN on 13/06/2011 23:21, Roger Fink told the world:
Suggestion for future major releases of SeaMonkey, such as the upgrade from
2.0.14 to 2.1.
I tried this upgrade a few days ago but wound up reverting back to 2.0.14
(note that despite using system restore to do this, I still had to manually
reestablish some of my original settings, such as theme and home page). The
reason I went back to 2.0.14 was because there just weren't enough installed
extensions yet that were upgradable to 2.1.
While I don't know the technical problems involved, I think it would be a
lot more user-friendly to search out the existing installation before a new
version is installed and present to the user the same list of existing
installed extensions that are currently incompatible, and also predetermine
whether upgrades for them exist. This would be followed by a box to proceed
or cancel.
This would allow the user to make a decision to install or not install,
rather than have to install and revert (or regret).
Firefox 4 does have a feature like that. It should be possible to
migrate the code, but I have no idea how much work it entails.
