Releases:Release Notes 1.5

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).

Release Notes for Camino 1.1b are at Releases:1.1b:Notes (Release Notes for Camino 1.1a2 are at Releases:1.1a2:Notes and notes for Camino 1.1a1 are at Releases:1.1a1:Notes). These notes are for checkins after the release of Camino 1.1b.

General

• The warning that appears when attempting to launch another copy of Camino while one copy is already running will now close properly.

Bookmarks

• Command-key shortcuts for bookmarks in the Bookmark Bar no longer triggered when modifier keys are also held down.

Downloading

• It is now possible to empty the Trash when the Trash contains a file still listed in the Downloads window.

Privacy & Security

• Updating a Keychain item with new information will now properly update the existing item instead of sometimes creating a second item.
• Camino now stores and accesses different credentials (in the Keychain) for different http Auth realms on the same host.
• When deciding whether to fill passwords from Keychain, Camino now compares pre-filled usernames with the username saved in the Keychain in a case-insensitive manner.
• When accessing a Keychain item created by Safari, Camino no longer alters the item so that Safari cannot read it, and if Camino accesses an altered item again, it will restore Safari's ability to access that item.

Tabs

• Quitting while saved pages are being restored no longer forgets those that are in the process of loading.
• Restoring pages after a crash will now occur properly in all situations.
• Pages that are loaded are now remembered more frequently in case Camino quits unexpectedly.

User Interface

• Pressing the Esc key in the location bar of a blank page no longer displays “about:blank.”

Web Page Interaction

• Further improved ad-blocking.
• Adding a site to the Pop-up Exceptions List now works properly for Flash-based pop-ups.
• The list of pop-up windows that can be displayed for a given page is now cleared properly.
