=About Camino® 2.1=
After over a year of hard work by devoted volunteers, the Camino Project is proud to give you Camino 2.1. This latest version includes many bug fixes and new features, providing all users with an improved browsing experience. This release displays web pages with Gecko 1.9.2, the same rendering engine used by the popular Firefox 3.6 web browser, and thus shares many of the security fixes and Gecko improvements that are in that version of Firefox.

The features listed below are just some of the many changes in Camino 2.1.

Camino 2.1 is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and later.

=Features in Camino 2.1=

The following are the major changes and improvements made since the Camino 2.0 release. A full list is available on our [http://caminobrowser.org/releases/2.1/complete.php website].


* '''Enhanced location bar autocomplete''
** A completely rewritten autocomplete now searches both bookmarks and history and matches against page titles as well as page URLs.

* '''Improved control over plug-ins'''
** Camino now supports loading plug-ins from the profile’s “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
** A new [http://caminobrowser.org/documentation/hiddenprefs/#DisableSpecificPlugins hidden preference] allows disabling arbitrary plug-ins.
** Camino no longer includes a Java plug-in; users who need to run Java applets should install [http://caminobrowser.org/documentation/setup/#find_plugin Java Plug-In 2 or Java Embedding Plugin], as appropriate for the version of Mac OS X in use.

* '''New security features'''
** Camino now disables certain insecure or incompatible versions of common plug-ins.
** The certificate error page in Camino 2.1 is both friendlier and more informative than the one in Camino 2.

* '''Offline mode'''
** New “Work Offline” and “Go Online” items in the “Camino” menu allow Camino to enter offline mode and provide a more useful experience when no network connection is available.

* '''Status Bar'''
** The status bar can now be hidden by choosing “Hide Status Bar” in “View” menu.

* '''Gecko chrome and component registration'''
** Camino 2.1 supports loading components and chrome from the profile, making it easier to use some simple Gecko extensions.

* '''Web content support'''
** Camino now uses version 1.9.2 of Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, which contains thousands of bug fixes, enhanced support for web standards, and improved JavaScript performance.

=Known Issues=
For information about other issues or problems, please visit our [http://caminobrowser.org/help/ Help page].

* If “Ask me before accepting each cookie” is checked, Camino will display a cookie dialog for each cookie request from a web page.
* Incompatible third-party plug-ins:
** PDF Browser Plugin version 2.4 and newer are incompatible with Camino; to display PDF files in Camino on Mac OS X 10.6 or newer, use version 2.3 of the plug-in.
* Incompatible third-party software:
** 1Password is known to crash Camino in some cases, particularly when customizing the toolbar. If you experience crashes, try removing 1Password's Camino integration.
