Mozilla 1.3 Port Available For FreeBSD

Posted by timothy on from the arrr dept.

Dan writes "Joe Marcus Clarke announces the availability of Mozilla 1.3 port for FreeBSD. Windows, MacOSX and Linux versions of Mozilla 1.3 were originally released on March 13. Although the port is scheduled to be committed as part of FreeBSD 4.8 Release, diffs for 1.3 are readily available. Galeon2 diff has also been updated for the Mozilla port. Key enhancements include junk mail filtering and API for rich text editing."

  1. Also in NetBSD pkgsrc by LizardKing · · Score: 5, Informative

    The native Mozilla in NetBSD's pkgsrc has also been updated to 1.3 - I've been running it without any problems for a couple of days now on 1.6. Locks up occasionally on -current, but that's because the new scheduler activations are not entirely happy with it.

    Not sure if this is a troll or not, but here goes:

    Um...now?

    Note, that this is a hack, not an actual port.

    I compiled it on my own using the patches from the latest mozilla-devel port. Worked like a charm. Seemed to take less time to compile than 1.1 did, even.

    Now that I'm running Xfree86 4.3.0, and Mozilla 1.3 everything looks much, much better than it did before. (Thanks largely to Xft)
