Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 21:02:42 +0100 From: VOICE News Service Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: [New] Firefox 4.0 & Seamonkey 2.1 betas ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: DragTextDESPAM at DESPAME-vertise.Com New betas of Firefox and Seamonkey are now available. They feature native printing support, a major improvement in memory usage, and a fix for a long-time bug. Firefox v4.0b8pre is available from: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/firefox-20101030.zip or http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/firefox-20101030.zip Seamonkey v2.1b2pre is available from: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/seamonkey-20101030.zip or http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/seamonkey-20101030.zip Printing Support ---------------- All native printer drivers will work if their output resolution is set to 360 DPI or less. This beta can automatically reset the resolution for both the OMNI and PSCRIPT families of drivers if needed. Mozilla's built-in Postscript support is also available for use, as is its PDF support. Please read PRINTING.txt in the exe's directory for details. Memory Management ----------------- With a few trivial exceptions, the Mozilla apps will no longer use any shared memory beyond what's needed to load their dlls. Problems that have been attributed to low or no shared memory (such as the inability to start new apps, failure to update unrelated ini files, and general system instability) should no longer occur. This does not mean that these problems have been permanently eliminated, only that a major cause of them has been removed. 'Copy Link Location' -------------------- A long-time bug that caused characters to be deleted from URLs when using the 'Copy Link Location' menu item has been fixed. Community support for these betas and all Mozilla apps is available through the newsgroups 'mozilla.dev.ports.os2' or 'comp.os.os2.apps'. Messages posted to other forums may not be seen by the developers.
