Firefox 1.1
p2pnet.net News:- If you’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of FireFox 1.1, you’ll have to wait a little longer.
“In a move that I would hope should surprise exactly nobody, we’re pushing back 1.1 by a little bit because of the realities of the work remaining to be done (I have a lot of patches that need to be landed, tested, bugfixed, there are other patches from other people to which the same applies; also we need a reasonable stabilization period and a resurrection of the l10n infrastructure in order to do a release of similar quality and range to 1.0.),” says lead engineer Ben Goodger.
He and fellow Mozilla hacker Darin Fisher recently left the hallowed halls of Mozilla for the greener fields of Google.
But that’s not why FF1.1 is being a little tardy.
“Asa is working on an updated roadmap graphic, which will offer more details,” says Goodger on his blog.
“The likely possibility is a 1.1 Developer Preview (= alpha, NOT for general consumption), followed by a 1.1 Preview Release (= beta, wider consumption, feature complete), followed by RCs and a 1.1. We’re not fixed on dates yet, but this is just a heads up.”
