Version Number Changes

There was a Slashdot thread today “Firefox 1.1 Scrapped” ...

nothing is scrapped, this is just a version number realignment. Given the feature content of what we were going to call 1.1 - more than 12 months of new Gecko features including SVG, Canvas etc, many application functional enhancements etc this felt more like a 1.5 to everyone than a 1.1. So we've decided to rebrand the release Firefox 1.5, and once that is released (we're not pushing it out to accommodate more big features that weren't on the 1.1 plan) focus our efforts on a compelling 2.0.

For more information, read the product roadmap.
