M4 Release Notes UpTuesday April 13th, 1999Andrew Wooldridge has sent us news that the M4 release notes are now online. When will m4 be ready for d/ling? THAT's a good question! With M3 the release notes came out days later, I believe. This time it seems to be the reverse. Hmmm... no mention of Gecko's "CSS3" support, again. M4 will be released Thursday. (As said on moz.builds) I hope they take care of full CSS1 before putting effort towards CSS3 (or even CSS2 for that matter)! -Chris I don't think CSS3 is even being considered at this point. The CSS2 spec says it is not guaranteed to be at 100% (probably at least 80%) by beta release. They probably aren't even thinking of CSS3 yet. I agree that 100% CSS1 should be priority, since no browser yet has gone above 70 something percent compatibility yet. what is css3? There is at least one CSS3 property in there - opacity. Of course, there isn't such a beast as CSS3 yet. Not even a mention in the W3C's Activity Statement on Style Sheets. I've been told this is a popular one for inclusion in CSS3, but I worry - are we seeing the beginning of another IE3 - stuffing up compatibility for future users of a Standardised CSS3? That's true. They really shouldn't support CSS3 at all if not 100%, since I fully agree that 0% is better than 70%. Still, if they are sure a standard will stay the same there is no point in not throwing it in if it's already done, I guess. I bet that's what the MS guys said with IE3, re: CSS1. How many browser builders does it take to change a light bulb? None, they just redefine the "standard" light to be darkness. I share dg2's concern. What happened to the standards based browser? Or even openness in what the browser is aiming for? CSS3 - where's that in the docs? |
