Camino 0.8 Roadmap

Mike Pinkerton has announced a roadmap for Camino 0.8, which he hopes to release in March.


We have several key goals for this release:

  • as fast, as stable, and as polished as Camino 0.7, if not more so
  • rock solid release for 10.1.x users
  • public release of features baking in nightly builds
  • take advantage of fixes/improvements in Gecko since Mozilla 1.0

I'm shooting for a March release of Camino 0.8. That date may change depending on our ability to fix crashers and when Mozilla1.7 goes final. As our primary goal is stability, we need to make sure that Gecko is not changing/regressing under us while we're stabilizing the release. When the time is right (about Mozilla1.7), we will cut our own branch of mozilla and use that instead of the trunk. Mozilla1.7 should be out in the March timeframe, about the same time as Firebird 1.0. Having both products focused on that branch will help drive Gecko's stability.
