Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the calling-it-quits dept.

batb0y writes "The Mozilla Foundation has published its Mozilla Application Suite transition plan, confirming that there will be no official Mozilla 1.8 release. There will be a 1.7.6 release to be maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. All future suite versions from the Foundation will be minor updates only." Don't despair, however, as there is already a community effort underway to continue development.

    I guess now we now for sure where the foundanion is headed. The new Netscape can probably take the place of a lot of the suite.

    This is moderated interesting because of the contortions your brain must undergo to understand what the poster typed out.

    Why don't you actually contribute to the project then, if you want 1.8 so much.
