Camino frozen for 2.0 Alpha 1
We froze yesterday evening in preparation for Camino 2.0 Alpha 1. This means that other than release notes (and possibly any somehow-yet-undiscovered critical bugs), we won’t be landing any new features or fixes before the release of 2.0a1.
If you’re a nightly user or someone interested in helping test, please download today’s nightly build and use it over the next few days. Please let us know if you find any serious problems, either by filing a bug or posting in the forum. While these nightlies are still alpha-quality software (technically, pre-alpha 
) and many of the new features are not yet fully functional, we aren’t aware of any serious issues, but we also haven’t had a large group of people using these builds on a regular basis.
N.B. If you haven’t been using 2.0a1pre nightlies already, be sure to make a backup of your profile folder (~/Library/Application Support/Camino) before using a nightly, since the Gecko version used by these nightlies makes several irreversible and incompatible changes to your profile, preventing a profile touched by a 2.0-series build from being used with 1.6.x again.
Thanks to all of our nightly build users, testers, and bug-filers, and we hope to deliver an exciting Camino 2.0 Alpha 1 to everyone very soon.

I notice that it seems a little faster than 1.6.4 versions of Camino, and web controls are actually the way they’re supposed to and not just aqua-like by force. Memory use is a little high though almost like FFx2.

There are definitely a couple of bugs in Gecko that we haven’t quite pinned down which cause excessive memory use. If you notice any sort of “pattern” to the high memory usage you’re seeing, please file a bug; every bit of data helps!
