Need testing of SeaMonkey 1.0 release candidate
We've fixed the blockers we needed to fix for SeaMonkey 1.0 and have builds ready for testing (except for gtk1, which we should have later today). If we don't find any major regressions, they will become the release builds. Please download a build and make sure it works for all the common tasks you use it for. If you encounter a problem, file a bug. If you think it should block the release of SeaMonkey 1.0, nominate it with the blocking-seamonkey1.0 flag.
We also need people to run sometests using Testrunner before release. Please stop by #seamonkey if you'd like to run the smoketests.
Update: be sure to grab the "1.0" builds from the ftp directory and not the older "1.0b" builds.

Help find leaks in SeaMonkey
David Baron recently added the ability to log leaks in a way that us Quality Assurance folks (non-programmers) can use. The logging won't catch every leak, but will identify the big ones and tell you what web page the leak was associated with. Armed with that information, you can go back and see if you can reproduce the leak. If you can, file a bug with appropriate steps to reproduce (as minimal as possible) and add the mlk keyword.
To get started, you need a recent trunk build (from Jan 6 or later), leak-gauge.pl and perl if you're on Windows. There are instructions at the top of the leak-gauge.pl on how to enable logging and use the perl script.
