Apparently, the website used Releases:1.5:Notes:Web format for the final 1.0 notes, while the Release Notes RTF used a different format :p

About Camino® 1.5
After over a year of hard work by devoted volunteers, the Camino Project is proud to give you Camino 1.5. This latest version fixes hundreds of bugs and implements many new features, providing all users with an improved browsing experience.
Camino 1.5 brings you a heavily updated version of the only native Mac OS X browser using Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine. This release displays web pages with Gecko 1.8.1, the same rendering engine used by the popular Firefox 2 web browser. Gecko 1.8.1 includes thousands of bug fixes over the version used by Camino 1.0, providing users even better web page compatibility.
The features listed below are just some of the many changes in Camino 1.5.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with feedback regarding Camino 1.5; we'd love to know what you think! still not sure about this for the RTF notes
Due to changes in the feature set, Camino 1.5 no longer supports Mac OS X 10.2. We advise users still running Mac OS X 10.2 to download Camino 1.0.4 (release notes).

Known Issues
For information about other issues or problems, please visit our Help page [lnk].
- Some users have experienced a situation where pages would appear not to load after clicking on a link. In this case, resizing the browser window may allow the page to display properly.
- 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.
- Camino erroneously claims that the default Japanese and Traditional Chinese fonts are “missing” when they are actually installed; this is due to a mismatch between Carbon and Cocoa font names. Changing these fonts using the Camino user interface will result in incorrect fonts being chosen and will cause some characters to fail to display. Users should either keep the default fonts or change the font preferences manually, ensuring the Carbon versions of the font names are used.
