Mozilla 1.6 released

Fri, 01/16/2004 - 16:20 — charlie.collins

The best browser/email tool around got a new rev yesterday, Mozilla 1.6 is out. Includes enhancements to mail stuff, a few new minor features to the browser, and lots of bugfixes.

Note that moz is also great for web developers. View source format is better than other browsers, LiveHTTPHeaders is just plain awesome (displaying all the headers and timing info as you browse), the properties of images and pages including forms and so on are all readily available. And the Javascript console and debugger are unparalleled.

So enough rambling, check the changelog and get Mozilla 1.6.

Re: Mozilla 1.6 released

Ok, so it might not seem like much but the best new feature I have used thus far on 1.6 is "about:about". Thats right, its the about page that lists the about pages. It includes humourous stuff like that from the "Book of Mozilla" AND useful stuff like the about:cache (was this around before about:about?). the cache thing is pretty darn cool, lists all the entries and relevant info. oh, and even though i havent tried it, as the release notes state, the view source window has a "refresh". huh, huh. cool.

that and 1.6 "feels" just a little bit slicker, as they do with each release. good stuff moz.
