Softwares, Technology Add comments

FirefoxFirefox 1.5.0.1 was officially released today and if you haven’t upgraded yet, check for Firefox updates now. Firefox 1.5.0.1 is a stability and security update, and it is recommended that you upgrade to latest version soon.

Here’s what’s new in Firefox 1.5.0.1:

  • Improved stability.
  • Improved support for Mac OS X.
  • International Domain Name support for Iceland (.is) is now enabled.
  • Fixes for several memory leaks.
  • Several security enhancements.

Thanks to Mozilla Firefox team, there are less memoy leaks in this release. I really hope that they continue working on the memory leak in Firefox because that’s the only thing that turns me off in this wonderful web browser.

SeaMonkeyMoving on to SeaMonkey, The SeaMonkey Council released SeaMonkey 1.0, the first end-user release of their internet suite. SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as “Mozilla Application Suite”. It’s essentially Firefox and Thunderbird combined despite the old Mozilla interface design.

SeaMonkey features a state-of-the-art web browser, a powerful email client, a WYSIWYG web page composer and a feature-rich IRC chat client all-in-one. You have an option not to install all components in case you really don’t need all these features. There’s a long list of features added in this first end-user release if you are interested to read it.
