Because of the mozillaZine downtime, I failed to note the release of Mozilla 1.6 yesterday. It's an awesome release with some great new features compared to 1.5. If your company requires NTLM authentication, this release should really make you happy. Also noteworthy are the fixes for the Mac bookmarks dataloss bug and the Mac paint problem on window resizing. You can read more of what's new by visiting the README and if you're interested in more detail, you can check out the rough changelog that covers the 1,000+ bugs fixed for the 1.6 release. This is a great release and I recommend it to everyone that's still using Mozilla 1.5 or older releases.
update: and Cameron reminds me in the comments that we've also got speed improvements too. Chris and I were talking on Friday and he mentioned between 5 and 10% performance improvements in page layout depending on platform. You can see some of the graphs here, here, here, here, and here. That's a pretty nice feature.
I would love to upgrade to 1.6 If it had MNG support build in...

Do you have some sort of mozdev-related disability? I know, I know; It's just too hard to visit mozdev.org and install an extension.
Who needs all the 2000+ new bugfixes and performance/stability/security improvements anyway.
