We're only a few days from the 0.8 release and this one is going to kick some serious ass. There's just no other way to put it. We've got all kinds of cross-platform improvements, including a brand new download manager that also handles extension installs, much faster web page rendering, NTLM authentications support, new and improved bookmarks functionality, major stability improvements, -- the list goes on.
I'm convinced that this is going to be our single biggest milestone leap forward since the project began. This release has something for everyone and with 0.8, there simply aren't any excuses left for using IE.
In addition to all of the awesome cross-platform improvements, there are some wonderful platform-specific changes too. For Mac, 0.8 will be the milestone debut of the drool-on-your-keyboard-sexy new OS X front end that, if you haven't seen it, is gonna just knock your socks off. Not only is it super slick, but it feels "right at home" on both Jaguar and Panther.
With 0.8 on Windows, we get a brand new installer that makes installation painless and easy, as well as providing all the standard shortcuts/registry/program group/start menu/etc. integration that Windows users have come to expect. With the installer also comes uninstall capability, but you won't want or need that!
This is the fastest, most featureful, most stable, most fun release yet. It's going to take the world by storm. If you thought there was buzz around 0.6 and 0.7, just you wait.
