Mozilla 1.4 Released

Posted by simoniker on from the moz-strutting-like-suedehead dept.

Phil writes "MozillaZine is reporting that Mozilla 1.4 has been released for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The new version is pretty similar to today's Netscape 7.1, which is based on the same code, but lacks Netscape's proprietary features. More information can be found in the release notes. The release can be downloaded from mozilla.org's releases page or via FTP. From here on, mozilla.org's focus shifts to Mozilla Firebird and Mozilla Thunderbird." The official release news is now up on Mozilla's main page, so let the downloading begin.

      That's a good point. For all of the bloat that Mozilla is accused of having, I am disheartened that they have left out the "Put yellow running dudes all over the fucking place" feature that Netscape has had for quite some time now. Does anyone know of a plugin that I can compile to be able to enjoy that functionality that I am missing?

    That's the classic 0x610f0769 bug.

    Increment by 1 so it reads 0x610f0770.

    Results may vary.

    I just installed Netscape 7.1 :-(

    /me bursts into tears because his browser is out of date.

    I don't know why you haven't upgraded to 2003. I did it nearly seven months ago...

    I mean come on, what did you think Release Candidate meant?

    For those of us used to Microsoft's 'Release Candidates', it's a big frigging surprise for the RC to be identical to the release version.

    Microsoft Release Candidate == alpha version
    Release version == beta version
    Service Pack 2/3/4 == almost there...

    Oh come on! We're talking about a web browser here, not your respirator.

    I'm not sure which is more worrying: being 2 1/2 years behind the times or almost a month ahead. Or the state of the U.S. educational system?
