Mozilla Branches For 1.0 RC1

Posted by timothy on from the frustrate-your-modem dept.

At the end of last month, the Mozilla Project closed the tree for what will become Mozilla 1.0. Now jkeiser writes "Mozilla has branched for 1.0 RC1, which is the first last step to a final Mozilla 1.0! Mozilla has spent four long years getting the browser standards-compliant, fast and solid. Cross your fingers for a rockin' final release around the corner." Reader whovian points to the just-modified roadmap, too.

    "4 years for a 1.0"!?! Do me one. This is not something written from the ground up. However much new code there is in there, Mozilla was based on the Netscape source release and is "1.0" in name only. They have taken 4 years to get back where they started.

    ...which is the first last step to a final Mozilla 1.0!

    Where else can you get coverage like this about a browser!?!

    I mean it's a great browser, and it's come a long way, but this kinda of reporting borders on Star Wars theatrical opening obsession.
