Netscape Press Release on Mozilla StatusWednesday August 18th, 1999Beg sent in a link to this press release from Netscape. It's the official rehashing of the mozilla status done by Mike Shaver on July 27th. Any news on why M9 is late? According to the schedule, it was due Monday (8/16). Mike Crist The schedule is only when they stop working on new features, they commonly spend a week afterwards cleaning up the code and squashing bugs. It should appear soon, I saw two M10 nightlys. M9 is still being worked on. This is the milestone where we basically transplanted the entire network library with Necko, out new networking library.. hopefully we will have it wrapped up in a few days or so.. Jim Finally.. Netscape trying to get some spin control on the project. A success story will attract more developers... I wonder if they still schedule Navigator 5.0 for December. Hope so. They talked about some other systems that already have support... I noticed when downloading today's nightly that only Linux, Win32, Mac, Solaris (i386 and Sparc) and Irix are currently being built. When will there be nightly builds for other platforms (like FreeBSD, OS/2, BeOS, etc)? I'm not sure, although I thought BeOS was being built... but regardless, it took a while for the Solaris and IRIX ports to come up to speed enough to be considered "worth it" to build nightly. Other platforms are being developed, of course, and are compilable from source. |
