Mozilla 0.9.5

they should start going backwards with the numbers

... until people start feeling grateful for 0.9.5 ;)

Or call it "one point oh beta minus initial release testing phase DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON use at own risk edition, AKA 'only 4 more points'"

At any rate, I'll grab .9.5 now, but .9.4 is sweet.

Argghhh!!!

OK, I just got done upgrading all the workstations that I administer to 0.9.4. That's cool, all I have to do is wait for .9.5 to show up in the FreeBSD ports right?

I just don't look forward to downloading the new tarballs over my 56.6 modem at home.

*Sigh* I suppose by the time I get that one downloaded there will be 0.9.6.

Compile Mozilla == Speed

[Anonymous Coward]

Let's see.

My 1.2 GHz/512MB AMD Thunderbird has been compiling the latest release now for about an hour.

Speed, indeed.

Re:Link tag

[sharkey]

...better support for the tag

I think you left off the "B". Mozilla introduced the tag, IIRC, and has supported it for years.
From The Book of Mozilla, 12:10:

And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.

Re:I forgot to mention

[T-Punkt]

Please explain to me how software can have "too much speed" or "too much stability".

Re:replies to self for clairification :)

I've been using it for 304 hours now, as close I can tell.

Dude, do me a favour. Before you update your build, find some way of crashing it, OK? Then send in the Talkback data. That way, our recorded MTBF goes up. ;-)

Re:grr spell check grrr

[Gerv]

Is it possible that they could make it all the way to 1.0 without a simple spell check feature?

Perfectly possible, and extremely likely.

surely there must be open source dictionaries they could implement?

Probably. The trick is finding someone to do the implementing.

Can't they use netscape 4.x's dictionary?

No. It's proprietary.

I'm too ashamed to recommend Mozilla to my friends

...because you know they can't spell?
