| Mozilla unveils latest browser beta |
Nov. 21, 2001
Mozilla.org has released the latest beta-test version of Mozilla, the open-source browser suite on which AOL Time Warner's Netscape 6 is based, according to this news item by Matthew Broersma of ZDNet (UK). Broersma writes . . .
"Mozilla 0.9.6 fixes several bugs and adds new features, such as displaying page icons in the location bar and cross-platform support for .bmp and .ico image formats."
"Although the browser is still in beta form, it is already used widely by the development community. Its page-rendering engine, Gecko, is used as the core of other browsers such as the Linux browser Galeon, from the open-source development project GNOME. When Mozilla reaches its 1.0 release, it will be used as the default browser by Red Hat, distributor of the most popular Linux distribution."
"Among other tweaks, the new beta adds a Print Preview feature, and adds Page Setup for the Mac. An improved search feature lets users highlight any word on a page and find matches via a contextual right-click menu . . ."
