Releases:Release Notes 1.5

General

There are several pages that track "major" changes on the FF2.0 branch. These could be very handy for when we want to create our release notes. What's new in Bon Echo Alpha 3 (for Firefox 2).

• Tab jumpback: when creating a new foreground tab via cmd-click or single-window mode, Camino will remember the launching tab such that when the new tab is closed, we'll jump back to the launching tab if the user has not manually changed tabs
• View-source is now disabled when viewing a window or tab that contains binary content, such as an image or a Quicktime movie.
• Camino now has an option in the Appearance preference pane to make all websites always use your font choices.
• Camino displays an error dialogue at launch on Mac OS X 10.2.x, since Camino 1.1 requires Mac OS X 10.3 or newer.
