New features and fixes
Browser
* A new option to prevent sites from using JavaScript to block the
browser's context menu.
* Password Manager has a "show passwords" mode which will display
saved passwords. You will need to enter your master password if
you are using one.
* The "Set As Wallpaper" feature now has a confirmation dialog.
* Linux GTK2 builds have improved support for OS themes.
* Cookie dialogs have been reworked to make them more usable.
* Date handling, especially on OS X, has been improved.
* It is now possible to fine-tune Mozilla's pop-up blocking using
two preferences (dom.popup_maximum and dom.popup_allowed_events)
but there's no UI for that yet. Even without a UI, users should
notice a greater variety of pop-ups blocked (primarily mouseover
pop-ups) and a limit of 20 or so open at one time - regardless
of whether pop-up blocking is active. This will provide some
protection from sites that open hundreds of windows in a loop.
* Downloaded files are now moved to the target directory as soon
as the user selects the desired location. This was the
frequently reported bug 55690.
* There is now user interface to activate Smooth Scrolling
(Preferences -> Appearance).
* Mozilla now supports basic FTP upload.
Mail
* Many improvements to Palm Sync.
* IMAP IDLE support has been added.
* Support for "MSN Authentication" and Secure Password
* Authentication using SSPI NTLM auth for SMTP and POP3.
* A new preference to "always use the default character encoding
for replies" rather than using the encoding of the message being
replied to.
* Improvements to performance of downloading, viewing, and saving
mail messages.
* Support for multiple identities on the same mail account. See
the Multiple Identity Support documentation for more details.
* Support for relative paths for mail folders in prefs.js. This
makes it easier to copy profiles around without having to fix up
prefs.js afterwards.
* You can now edit address lists containing "Last, First" style
names.
* When composing mail, you can now use the up and down arrow keys
to scroll through the To/Cc/Bcc list.
* All Mozilla LDAP queries now default to using LDAPv3
(previously, they used LDAPv2). Mozilla should gracefully fall
back to v2 if v3 isn't found.
Chatzilla
* Chatzilla now supports zooming of fonts with keyboard shortcuts
(Ctrl + and Ctrl -), as well as with the View menu.
* Improved date handling; using the date/time format for the
locale.
* Support for the /ignore command.
* The ability to change the font family and size.
* Working custom sounds on Windows and Linux.
* Improvements to the preferences panel and the user interface for
half-op mode.
Under the Hood
* Size and performance have improved dramatically with this
release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 is 7% faster at
startup, is 8% faster to open a window, has 9% faster page
loading, and is 5% smaller in binary size.
* A long-standing bug with CSS backgrounds on table elements has
been fixed (standards mode only).
* Support for Kerberos HTTP authentication using GSSAPI (benefits
Unix-like platforms including Linux and OS X).
* Support for smb:// URLs using the gnome-vfs library (only
enabled in GTK2+XFT Linux builds).
* Support for server push of XML documents using
multipart/x-mixed-replace and XMLHttpRequest.
* Liveconnect now works when a Java applet's codebase is in a
different domain.
* Support for the CSS3 opacity property.
* Mozilla adds support for the onbeforeunload event. This lets web
application developers add code that alerts the user about
potential data-loss when closing a web application, or when
leaving a HTML page with potentially sensitive information.
* This release has a new SVG backend. The feature is not yet
enabled in the mozilla.org releases but developers may wish to
compile with this feature enabled.
* Mozilla handles dynamic style changes much better (see bug 15608
for details.)
* Mozilla has upgraded the NSS libraries to version 3.9. NSS 3.9
passes all the NISCC SSL/TLS and S/MIME tests (1.6 million test
cases of invalid input data) without crashes or memory leaks.

- New features and Fixes from release notes:
* One of the most requested Mozilla Mail features, an option to
separate the Recipient and Sender columns in the thread pane, has been
implemented.
* Another frequently requested MailNews feature, a preference for
placing the user's signature above the quoted text, has been added.
* "Remove from server after x days" has been implemented for POP3 mail
accounts.
* vCard support has been added to Mozilla Mail.
* Mozilla 1.6 includes a new cross-platform NTLM authentication
mechanism. This feature brings NTLM authentication to the non-Windows
Mozilla users for the first time and also delivers more robust and
featureful NTLM support to users of older Windows versions.
* Ask Jeeves searching has been added to Mozilla 1.6.
* "Translate Page" functionality has returned to this release of Mozilla.
* The View Source window now has reload functionality.

halfop mode support, and properly masks key and password dialogs.
* Many crash bugs have been fixed.
* One step closer to the kitchen sink, about:about has been
implemented. Typing about:about in the address field will give the
user a nice list of available about:s.
* The opacity implementation was completely revamped to properly
change the opacity of all descendants as a group.
* CSS inheritance has been updated to work per CSS2.1 (computed values
are inherited).
- pkgsrc specific changes

New Features and Fixes
* Mozilla now includes a spellchecker for MailNews and Composer.
* Additional MailNews improvements include:
o Users can add header lines to *every* message sent out via a
certain identity.
o A common application hang with SSL-encrypted SMTP
connections has been fixed.

(allows find and replace).
o Numerous fixes in caret management, inline styles handling,
and CSS styles handling.
* Improvements to tabbed browsing, including:
o Tabs are now replaced when a bookmark group is loaded. This
can be changed to the old "append" behavior in the Tabbed
browsing preferences.
o Back and Forward navigation for tabbed browsing and bookmark
groups has been improved. Users can now use the back button
after loading a bookmark group to restore the previous set of tabs.

with a confirmation dialog (which can be disabled for future
close operations).
* ChatZilla, Mozilla's internet relay chat (IRC) client, has had a
major overhaul bringing logging and many additional improvements.

relevant line in the View Source Window.
* Mozilla's view source now displays line and column numbers in the
status bar.
* A quicksearch filter has been implemented for about:config.
* Gecko now supports setting color for <HR>.
* The '::' notation for CSS pseudo-elements is now supported. The old
':' notation is still supported only for pseudo-elements in CSS2
(:first-line, :first-letter, :before, :after) and the various
:-moz-tree-* pseudo-elements.
* Unstyled XML display has been improved.
* Some Windows GDI problems in Mozilla have been resolved.
* A common problem collapsing the URL bar popup on Windows has been fixed.
* Mozilla has improved performance, stability, standards support and
Web compatibility.

What's new from release notes
* Mozilla Mail has junk-mail classification. With some initial
"training" the client can identify and segregate spam messages from
good messages. To see more about Mozilla's junk-mail classification,
visit the Mozilla Spam Filtering page.
* Newsgroup filters have been implemented.
* An initial implementation of Mozilla Midas, rich text editing
controls, has landed in Mozilla for 1.3. See the Midas page for more
information.
* Image auto sizing allows a user to toggle between full-sized images
and images sized to fit the browser window. To give it a try, load a
large image into the browser window or size the window to be much
smaller. Now clicking on the image will alternate between auto-sized
and full-sized. The feature can be disabled (or enabled) from the
Appearance panel in Preferences.
* Users can now "dynamically" switch profiles. To give it a try, from
the tools menu select "Switch Profile..."
* Find as you type, formerly known as type ahead find, has a new
preferences panel (Advanced: Keyboard Navigation).
* When installed, Chatzilla now has a normal Mozilla preferences panel.
* Mozilla 1.3 also includes fixes for performance, standards
compliance and site compatibility.
* Mozilla has a new splash screen. We already know. Please don't
report this to Bugzilla. Thanks

What's new from Release notes:
(See release notes for detail - http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.2.1/)
Browser
* Type Ahead Find is a new feature that allows quick navigation when you type
a succession of characters in the browser, matching the text in one or more
links on the page.
* Building on Mozilla's customizability, you can now show toolbars as
text/icons/both (in the default Classic theme). We also have a few other
usability improvements like image selection visualization (image highlights
with system selection color when selected) and the removal of the confusing
toolbar grippies.
* Improvements to native look and feel in both the browser interface and
the browser content area. We now support most native GTK themes in Mozilla
which means that your Mozilla toolbars and other widgets will pick up
the GTK theme look and feel. We also support native look and feel for web
content like form controls under windowsXP.
* Making tabbed browsing even more useful, you can launch the browser with
a group of bookmarks as your start page. This loads several pages into tabs
at startup.
* Keyboard access is greatly improved including additional accesskeys for
menus, other ui elements and page elements.
* We have a new features that utilizes browser idle time to download
or prefetch documents that the user might visit in the near future.
* XML prettyprinting, similar to IEs default-view for XML is now available
in Mozilla.
Mail
* Mozilla Mail has a new "filter after the fact" capability so users can
create a filter and then run that filter on already downloaded mail.
Filter logging has also been implemented which allows power users to see
a log of all of the filter actions.
* In mail you can now select and copy text from message headers and you can
now drag and drop from the message search results window.

merge PLIST-* to PLIST
improve install script to share with mozilla-1.0 branch(not imported yet)
|

No major changes from 1.0rc3.
See the release notes for detail about mozilla.
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/

Changes from release notes are follows:
- A security vulnerability reported in Mozilla by GreyMagic Software
has now been fixed. For more information see the mozilla.org
statement.
- Fifteen of our most frequently encountered crashes have been
fixed. You can help us find any that are left by banging on Mozilla
and sending in those TalkBack crash reports.
- Ten of our most frequently encountered application freezes have been
fixed (including the dreaded bug 96504 on Linux).
- We finally support CSS2 :hover the way web developers want us
to. (Bug bug 5693)
- It is now possible to install colormap on 8 bit displays using
-install. (Bug 22337)
- Cookies can now be disabled for Mozilla Mail. (Bug 22994)
- You can now enable in preferences HTTP 1.1 pipelining (not on by
default). (Bug 93054)

Noteable changes from release notes are follows.
See release notes for detail
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/
- Mozilla Composer now implements one button publishing which allows
you to save html documents directly to web sites where you have an
established account.
- Our most frequently reported bug has been fixed. Viewing the source
of a cgi generated page now works properly.
- Mozilla now implements LDAP over SSL and allows LDAP Address Book
replication.
- The following JavaScript statements are now acceptable, as they are
with Netscape Navigator 4.7 and Internet Explorer 6:
for(i in undefined){}
for(i in null){}
var obj; for (i in obj){}
- Improved GB18030 support -- the Unicode surrogate range support is
now available on Windows.
- Linux scaled bitmap font support is available This improves
quality of bitmap font display even when a font does not contain
embedded bitmap fonts in many different sizes.
- There is now a preference to match the browser's default
locale/region to the operating system default. In all.js:
pref("intl.locale.matchOS", false);
When its value is "true", browser will find the system's locale
and set its UI language and region content to match it. For example,
when installing on an English (US) system, on start up, the client
will use English as its UI language and US as its region locale until
a user profile is selected. If a (pair) of locale is defined in the
selected profile, browser will honor the profile locale. In addition,
when cmdline switches, '-UILocale' and/or 'contentLocale', are
present, the cmdline switch takes precedence. (Bug 121744)
Note: Having this preference on is an expensive operation. Therefore,
when this preference is "true", there will be approximately a 30%
increase in startup time.
