byAndrew Mutch TheK-Meleon team is hard at work getting ready for the release of version 0.7. Currently, we havetwo Mozilla bugs,113007 and134523 which are blocking this release. Once these bugs, which affect downloading and SSL support, are fixed, version 0.7 will be available. This release will be built on the current Mozilla 1.0 code. While the team is waiting on the resolution of those two Mozilla bugs, we have been busy squashing bugs and improving K-Meleon's functionality. Mark Liffiton has been doing an outstanding job of overhauling and improving our Bookmarks and Favorites plugins. Users of K-Meleon 0.6 can expect to see a number of new features in the next release and much improved performance thanks to the upgrade to Mozilla 1.0 code. As always, K-Meleon strives to be a lean and mean browsing machine. If you are interested in helping out or just have questions, visit K-Meleon athttp://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/.
mozdev Update The mozdev site has been slow lately due to the large increase in traffic we've seen since the Mozilla 1.0 release. We're working on making the site more responsive and I wanted to thank everyone for bearing with us while we get this resolved. If you have a project on mozdev, one of the ways you can help is to move any download files onto our mirror network. Doing this will make the main site more responsive and downloads will be faster. More information about using the mirror network can be found on themirrors project.
Enigmail Update Enigmail, the PGP/GPG add-on for Mozilla, now supports both inline PGP encryption and PGP/MIME, which can be used to seamlessly encrypt emails with arbitrary attachments. With the addition of PGP/MIME, PGP support in Mozilla is now comparable to any other PGP-aware MUA such as Mutt, KMail or Evolution, as far as implemented features go. However, the Enigmail code is still raw and somewhat unstable. Binaries for Mozilla 1.0 are available for Windows, Linux-x86, Linux PPC, and FreeBSD. Language packs are also available for German, French, and Chinese. The next step would be integrate the Enigmail codebase into Mozilla, module owners and super-reviewers willing! The relevant bug is22687.
Livelizard Update Livelizard has reached 1.5. Mostly minor bugfixes, but Livelizard now uses nsIPasswordManager, so passwords are managed by Mozilla, Livelizard now also automatically logs in if you same your username and password.
Optimoz Update Mozgest has undegone "tabification". The latest release ofOptimoz features a significant modificationin the default gesture configuration. We've given up on absolute Opera compatibility in order to optimize the gesture set for tabbed browsing. You can now open new tabs with one stroke, and move between them with two strokes. In longer range news, Mondo is wrapping up the JS Service implementation which should provide gesture functionality with a minimum impact on new window creation time.
Hermes Update Hermes 0.3.1 beta available now. This is only a beta! And it installs as xHermes to allow running this and 0.2.13 concurrently. The beta uses XUL and runs from the menu... with optional addition to the Sidebar. However it adds to the 'Tasks' menu... which does not exist in the most recent builds (or in 1.0) and so should be looked at with a slightly older browser. It's not really ready for full use... but is there to get people excited... and return comments. It allows for password saving using the Mozilla PSM default. Screenshots are available on the website under the link to beta.
MultiZilla Update The major news forMultiZilla is that as of MultiZilla 1.1.14 it is no longer needs its own overlays.rdf making it totally transparent to Mozilla, so there's no more fiddling around with -chrome options and offering sacrifices to the fickle gods that your favourite add-ons will work with MultiZilla if it works with Mozilla, it will now work with MultiZilla! We also have a icons preferences panel, so you can choose which icons to display in your MultiZilla toolbar. We can now offer the ability to change UA strings from within the MultiZilla quickprefs menu and we are working on a GoogleBar type setup for MultiZilla as well. Coming very soon in v1.1.15Beta will be the often-requested option to restart MultiZilla with last set of tabs open and also to set any group of tabs to be opened on startup.
