Camino 1.6 Released!
We released Camino 1.6 today, congratulations to the entire team of developers, testers, localizers, bug helpers, irc hangers-on, and supporting fans! As always, it's a bit behind schedule (we talked last Summer about a 2007 release), but we managed to stick to our plan and nail just about everything we wanted.
New features include:
- Improvements to toolbar search - now it's even easier to add new engines to the search bar, with auto-discovery
- New find bar - my own personal contribution to this release. No more red-headed step-child Find panel
- Scrolling tabs - life really sucked before with a lot of tabs. Now it's much better (but it's still not Tabspose, we're still working on it!)
- Software Update - finally! Always stay up to date.
- AppleScript support - a contribution from my Google Summer of Code mentee.
- Save passwords for multiple accounts - finally finally!
- Web-based Feed support - want to use Google Reader (like I do)? Now it's even easier!
- ...And tons of bugfixes and improvements so the web works better!
I'm quite impressed with this release. Give it a spin for yourself at caminobrowser.org. Now onwards to 2.0 and the new Quartz graphics layer like Ff3.
