| *i use minefield* which is the name firefox has always used for its nightly builds. which means ever 24 hrs i get a nice-n-pretty update. but there also happens to be a reason that its call minefield. but i love it, and this time with the css3 &web app. stuff they're adding to firefox3, well its always more than worth it. dbly so as i'm working on my next open source web app, call realFriends. but i'm not writing to brag about my project, but on a weird tangent, since firefox3's first beta was pushed back. realFriends first beta release is actually (self)scheduled to arrive when firefox3's beta does. back on track though, when i got my nice nightly update i noticed that we're(nightly build testers) are now running pre-alpha 8. which means alpha 7 is out. there has been no official announcement on gran paradiso's homepage, yet. but anyone who's interested can grab it from mozilla's releases/ftp server. on the firefox2 side, version 2.0.0.6, has been released as well. i'm a lil late but i thought i should mention it too. if your version of firefox hasn't auto-updated yet than you can grab that from their releases/ftp site too. |

our lil open source web browser; she just keeps growing up.
| *firefox is growing up* first, later today(or maybe already) version 2.0.0.5 should be available &auto-updating all of the wired. based on this message from the mozilla.dev.planning group. today will be firefox 2.0.0.5's official release day, &btw you can get RC2 here through mozilla's ftp server right now(i've been trying to get this posted for three days now) than there's firefox' next major upgrade, firefox 3, currently code named Gran Paradiso. they've just feature froze and released alpha 6. as an internet artist, web design, open source creator, &web developer; Gran Paradiso release has me like extremely psyched. they're putting a ton of work into implementing web application services into firefox 3. and, *giddy giggles*, css3. even though css3 support isn't as far a long as i'd like, they're web application services implementations are spot on. so much so that, even though its still an alpha release, Gran Paradiso has become my main web browser since so much of my time 'online' is spent working on my next open source project that Gran Paradiso just continues to impress me with every milestone they reach. |
