Camino 2009 Week 23

Posted in Camino at 1:32 am by Smokey

It’s been a busy week, but I’m going to even busier next week, so I’ll sneak in a quick update now and then pick up again in two weeks.

  • The big news of the week is that we released Camino 2.0 Beta 3 on Thursday. Read more about its new features or download it from our preview site.
  • Stuart Morgan filed the first bugs based on Beta 3 Breakpad reports. He also reworked the script we use for generating Mac OS X symbols, so we now have a more complete list of OS libraries used by Mozilla apps for which we’ll generate symbols.
  • Ilya Sherman posted patches this week for a couple of bugs related to our warnings when closing windows, and he also investigated some additional Downloads window-related bugs.
  • Christopher Henderson posted a new patch for UTF-8 URLs in the Bookmarks Manager as well as handling reviews for Ilya’s window-closing patches.
  • Chris Lawson finished up a backport of one of his stability patches for the upcoming Camino 1.6.8 release, as well as finishing his Downloads preferences patch. In addition, over the weekend he led another round of bug triage with Christopher and me.
  • In addition to work on the Camino 2.0 Beta 3 release, I also started working on the forthcoming Camino 1.6.8 security release last week. I also uploaded a fresh set of Mac OS X 10.5.7 symbols based on the new script, as well as symbols from Mac OS X 10.4.11 8S165 (for all of those crashes from 10.4.11 PowerPC users who have yet to apply the latest security update).

In addition, we were excited this week by the arrival of new translator, Tianhao He, with a Simplified Chinese translation of Camino 1.6.x. The translation is currently undergoing review, but it sounds likely we’ll see it in 1.6.8. We last had a Chinese localization in Camino 0.8.x, so it’s good to see Chinese returning. If Camino isn’t currently available in in your language, visit the Camino Localization Community, join the mailing list, see if there are others interested in helping out, and learn how you can help make Camino available in your language!
