The Mozilla 1.0 Definition

Posted by timothy on from the what-things-mean dept.

The Evil Beaver writes: "Here we go. Mozillazine is reporting that Brenden Eich, mozilla.org's Technical Bigshot, has released the criteria to what is to be the 1.0 milestone. The 'manifesto' also explains why 1.0 is so important to reach, and why it isn't just another milestone, either. The Mozillazine article is here and the definition document here.

    No the 1.0 is not artificial read the 1.0 definition!

    The 1.0 marks the Mozilla API as a stable compatible API.

    This means that users and developers can be sure that applications developed for the 1.0 version is compatible with other 1.x versions.

    Just look at Galeon for a example of the problems following the Milestone releases.
    For each new milestone Galeon stops working until it's updated to use the new API. After the 1.0 version is released this will no longer be an issue.
