[舊聞]mozilla 1.4釋出拉!!!

[阿威]

因為已經有幾天了，所以就寫是舊聞，目前還沒進入unstable，不過依照以往的經驗，
應該很快就會進入unstable。

New Features and Fixes
Mozilla on Windows now has support for NTLM authentication. This enables Mozilla to talk to MS web and proxy servers that are configured to use "windows integrated security".
Mozilla's bookmarks have been overhauled. Bookmarks now include a root level folder, the ability to have two differently named bookmarks pointing at the same location, site icons in the Bookmark Manager and Bookmarks Sidebar, and separators now have support for labels.
Composer now supports click and drag dynamic image and table resizing. If an image is selected or if the caret is placed inside a table, eight resizing handles appear and allow to resize the image/table with a simple click/drag/release. In the case of an image, the resizing is done real-time and a semi-opaque shadow of the image at its target size is shown during resizing. A tooltip shows in real-time the target size in pixels, and the relative change in pixels too.
Mail now has junk-mail context menu items, a "delete junk mail" menu item and many other usability improvements for junk-mail controls.
Pop-up blocking has been streamlined to improve usability.
Users can now specify "blank page," "home page," or "Last page visited" for each of first window, new window and new tab.
Users can now specify default font, size and color for HTML mail compose.
Image blocking/disabling is now more flexible and users can "view image" to see blocked or not loaded images.
"Launch file" after downloading has been enabled for .exe files
It is possible to build Mozilla for Win32 using GCC. See the win32 build instructions for details.
Proxy auto-config (PAC) failover has been implemented
Mozilla 1.4 contains thousands of additional bugfixes, including changes to improve performance, stability, web site compatability, standards support, and usability.
New Issues
These are items that have been added to the known issues page since the last milestone although the bugs themselves may have existed previously.

The Linux binaries distributed by mozilla.org are now compiled with GCC 3.2. If you're using these binaries then you will need the 3.2 version of the Java Plugin from Sun J2SE v 1.4.2 (or the Blackdown JDK 1.4.1 compiled with GCC 3.2.) The Sun Java Plugin is compatible with modern Linux versions like Red Hat 8 or later and SuSE 8.1 or later (the plugin depends on a newer version of libgcc_s.so, installing the GCC supplements for Red Hat 7.3 -GCC 3.1 Compiler Suite for Red Hat Linux 7.3 - may allow for some older Red Hat Linux to run the plugin) Users of older Linux versions should either install the egcs 1.1.2 build of Mozilla and the JRE 1.4.1 or wait for a Mozilla version compiled specifically for their Linux distribution.
If you're using the Linux GCC 3.2 binaries compiled by mozilla.org then JavaScript access to Flash will not work.
If you are experiencing crashes on startup in xpcom.dll it is very likely that there is an incompatibility with some third-party extension. To work around this problem, uninstall your previous version of Mozilla, and completely delete the Mozilla install directory before performing the new install. You will not lose your profile data (such as bookmarks, preferences and cookies) but any third party extensions and plugins may be lost.


翻譯一些我有興趣的部分

bookmarks重寫，包含了root level 目錄(不知道是什麼)，可以擁有兩個不同名稱的bookmarks指向同一個位置，網站圖示也架進去bookmark中。

第一次開啟，新視窗，或是新lab都可以設定為空白頁或home page或最新瀏覽過的

mozilla.org 編譯的binary檔目前是用gcc3.2的版本去編的。

本來在 1.4 版裡好像說是會像 IE 一樣，
如果網頁裡的圖片秀不出來時會以一個『叉燒包』代替。

但是 Chang Log 裡沒提到...
大概又取消了。

[阿信]

今天unstable已經進來摟...

雖然不知道有什麼變化，但還算不錯。

[訪客]

........testing 還在1.0
嗚~~等妳等到我心痛......

不知用過1.4的前輩時覺怎樣
不是說1.4都重弄了嗎？
不知效率有沒有改善點~~

[阿信]

速鍍上是比1.0快，但有時候會出現document contain no data。

用1.0反而都不會出現問題呢，穩定度倒是無差，反正都滿穩的。

不知道為什麼，在1.4版的mozilla無法使用xcin，根本看不到xcin的視窗
(老實說，剛剛才把Debian當作Desktop，沒用過1.4以下的)
看看之前有關mozilla&xcin的文章，好像都不是我的問題

在其他程式上都可以使用，如opera, rxvt, xterm等等等

[palmpilote]

我的兩台電腦都沒問題
可以在mozilla1.4下用xcin
或許你可以描述更清楚些

mime is good and nothing wrong too
