New Features

These features should have a [new] tag in their screenshots or designated somehow. They also get demos (screencasts).

Spellchecking

Camino 1.1 includes the built-in Mac OS X spellchecker on every text field. Unlike Firefox, this spellchecker is the same one used throughout Mac OS X. (Something about the ease of changing languages etc.) Now you don't have to worry about making spelling mistakes when writing for your blog, leaving comments, or posting on your favorite forum.

Screencast Script:

Open: Standard Mac OS X desktop with Camino open to /start/.

Voice: Camino now supports the system-wide Mac OS X spellchecker.

Action: Start typing text into search box. Type in: Camino Wikipedia

Voice: This spellchecker works with both single-line text fields...

Action: Click first result, then click "edit" link next to the Version History.

Voice: ... As well as multi-line text fields.

Action: Add a new row for 1.1 and type in "Aprril 12". Correct the spelling error.

Session Saving

Feed (RSS/Atom) detection

By popular demand, Camino 1.1 supports the detection of RSS/Atom feeds in web pages. When a feed is found, an icon appears in the location bar. Clicking that icon and selecting a feed will send the feed to your default Mac OS X feed reader.

Screencast Script

Improved tabbed browsing (SWM, jumpback, tooltips)
