I'm using 10.1.-RELEASE-p24.

A revision of the ports tree today updated Seamonkey from 2.33.1_8
to 2.33.1_9 but did not install with portmaster (there was also a
revision of Firefox that I did not attempt to install).
Firefox is at 41 in the ports tree but Seamonkey has yet to reach
2.35 or 2.38 (while Seamonkey 2.39 and Firefox 42 are the current
releases).

In the past I have been able to install Seamonkey revisions that did
not work from ports with pkg upgrade
but pkg always lags ports in latest available version (it wants to
downgrade today's ffmpeg and libvpx revisions).
Mention of Seamonkey 2.38 appeared in /usr/ports/UPDATING on October 6!

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
