Mozilla RC3 Released

Posted by timothy on from the moz-developers-deserve-laurels-and-gold dept.

pjdepasq was one of many reader to submit the news that "Those fine folks at Mozilla.org rolled out RC3 on Thursday I noted. They say it's the last planned release before 1.0, which I'm guessing is right around the corner. As a fan of the project (I'm using it on 3 platforms!), kudos to all of you!" Here are the release notes.

    Well, yes. That's what RELEASE CANDIDATES are.

    Why do I want to run two browsers on my machine when it's already abundantly clear that the one that's already on there now (IE) is faster and more supported by web developers than your POS browser?

  3. Wow.. Still no AA font support!! by Bowie+J.+Poag · · Score: 1, Flamebait



    Damn!! I'm impressed!

    RC3 still has zero support for anti-aliased fonts.. This browser is sure to win an award for Best Browser Of The Year in 1996!

    Cheers,

    Keep talking tough guy. Someone will believe you.

    There's nothing in CSS that would not permit it to be processed in to code in a dynamically interpreted language. Say Python. Using say TCL.

    Or hell, just turn the css + html into C, call the compiler, make it a dynamically loadable library, load it, and use it to render. Yes, this is a dumb idea, but it's just one very obvious way of turning it into native widgets.

    There are many better ways which don't involve the compile/load step, which would be very simple with any dynamic language.

    Anyone who has the attitude that anything will "never" be possible is full of shit.

    Or are you saying that it is beyond the scope of a turning machine to do this kind of thing? In which case you are also wrong.

    Just shut the fuck up and sit down and let daddy do the work for you you incompetant bafoon.
