 =About Camino 1.1 Alpha 1=
-Camino 1.1 Alpha 1 is a heavily-updated version of the only native Mac OS X browser using Mozilla.org’s Gecko HTML rendering engine.  Notable improvements include enhanced tabbed browsing (“single window mode”), integration with the Mac OS X spell-checking system, detection of RSS/Atom feeds, an improved design for the “blocked pop-up” notification, enhanced options for cookies and downloads, and a resizable search field in the toolbar.  This release also includes enhancements in speed, security, and rendering accuracy brought by version 1.8.1 of the Gecko rendering engine.

 Note that Camino 1.1 Alpha 1 is in the “alpha” stage, which means it is still under active development. We feel that it is usable on a day-to-day basis and a large improvement over Camino 1.0, but you may still experience issues and some functionality may not work entirely as intended. The goal of this early release is to demonstrate the team’s progress and to allow users to report problems early in the development cycle.

	* Microsoft’s Windows Media Player (WMP) plugin causes major rendering issues in Camino. Since Microsoft has discontinued WMP on Mac OS X, Camino no longer supports the use of the WMP plugin; instead, all users should download the free Flip4Mac (F4M) plugin, version 2.1 or higher, from http://www.flip4mac.com/. Version 2.1 causes pages containing WMP content to become white when scrolled in Camino; there is currently no ETA for a fixed version of the F4M plugin.		* Microsoft’s Windows Media Player (WMP) plugin causes major rendering issues in Camino.

−	* Although typing performance has improved in Camino 1.1, typing in form fields can be slow when Flash or animated images are present. Turning off animations can improve performance in some cases.

−	* Shockwave Director content displays at the wrong location in the browser window when hardware rendering is enabled. Switch the plugin to software rendering to solve this.

	* Due to a bug in Mac OS X 10.3.x, Norwegian users of Camino will need to manually set their 'accept-language' string. To set the accept-language string, add the string <tt>user_pref("camino.accept_languages", "nb,nn,no,en");</tt> to your [http://www.caminobrowser.org/support/hiddenprefs/#createUserjs user.js file], where the languages are listed in the order in which you’d prefer them if a server can send content in multiple languages.
