Three Monkeys, Three Typewriters, Two Days

Boris,

Are the camino nightlies you mention the ones you can find here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/nightly/latest-1.0/

Or is it a different directory I need to be looking for?

Martijn

Martijn: That's the correct directory. Get downloading! :)

Yep. That looks like the right directory.

Have I told you lately that I love you(r work on Mozilla/Gecko)?

Have been surfing with it all day, feels rock solid, Java & flash work perfectly and smooth (map24.nl).

So far I can confirm what you say about gecko 1.8 sure feels like a final to me :) Gecko 1.8 looks to be in great shape.

One thing is weird though:

if I have multiple tabs open with a Java applet in one and I switch to another tab, the applet sometimes appears in the focused tab. Known bug?

Martijn, that's probably https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277067 (or any of the several specific plugin bugs that all should get fixed by bug 277067).

Camino used to have some hacks in place that alleviated most of the plugin-drawing-on-the-wrong-tab problems, but some recent changes on the branch made the hacks unstable, so they were ripped out. The JEP also used to work around some of the Java ones, but I think another recent change diminished the effectiveness of the JEP's work-arounds.

Aah ok thanks Smokey!

I suppose the chance of this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309550 rendering regression getting fixed at this very late state in the release cycle tends towards zero?

Yeah, I think the chances of that getting fixed for 1.8 are pretty minimal at this point unless it's breaking sites... If it is, you should nominate it for blocking (and perhaps email roc and ask him to look at it?)
