Note that today's Windows builds are not good (they're probably debug builds - 40MB to download).
Those looking for a build to test should go for Friday's builds - http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2004-01-09-09-1.6/ . I'm using that build and it seems pretty good.

apologies for talking to myself. Aside from Friday's builds, the other option is an "unofficial" build, made by MozJF. Configured the same as the mozilla.org builds, except they include Calendar. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=325817#325817
#3 Shouldn't there be another beta release?

I am pretty anxious to get 1.6 final both for my own use and for deployment at my company. But shouldn't there be another beta release prior to final? Particularly given that the link obfusication security bug fix was just committed - I have to think that one was fairly complex and could use some testing by security researchers. Given the reluctance of Mozilla to release patches to final point version I think it would be better to have another beta around.

That's what the nightly releases are for, and why the article suggests downloading a recent nightly and testing it. I've been using build 2004010708 for several days and it's working great!
#5 This is why you never make announcements like that

Well... it's Thursday.
(Don't get me wrong please, I'd rather have Mozilla.org produce better, more stable releases than have them adhere to "deadlines" and produce faulty binarys. I'm just saying it's announcements like that that cause dissapointments and bey some people even hard feelings.)
