The updated roadmap reveals that Firefox 1.1, codenamed "Deer Park", will be released in June, after an Alpha release in March and a Beta version in April. Firefox 1.5 ("The Ocho") and 2.0 will be released later in the second half of 2005."

  1. "Preview Release/Developer Preview" by DarthMAD · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't really buy their explanation about changing from the terms "alpha" and "beta" ... I think that most people using Firefox know what alphas and betas are and calling a beta a "preview release" seems to be almost misleading, creating a false sense of finality, which is what they are ostensibly trying to avoid. It's really just marketing, if you ask me- not that this is entirely bad, but perhaps could be better done. Whatever... that's my two cents.
