Mozilla 1.1 Alpha coming

[Asa Dotzler]

We've taken somewhere in the neighborhood of 1700 fixes on the Mozilla
development trunk since 1.0 was branched about two months ago. These
fixes include a few new features and other "heavy lifting". If all goes
well with testing, the 2002-06-10 evening builds or the 2002-06-11 early
morning builds will be released as 1.1 Alpha in the next day or two.

1.1a is not a Mozilla 1.0 bugfix follow-up. That will be called 1.0.1
and will contain the limited and more conservative work currently
underway with the 1.0 branch. See
<http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html#tree-management> for a picture of
what this looks like.

This 1.1a release is from the less conservative (and probably less
stable) Mozilla development trunk and is intended as a checkpoint for
gathering feedback and crash data. So if you use these Alpha builds be
warned that they are unlikely to be as stable as Mozilla 1.0 or the
upcoming 1.0.x releases. But the 1.1a releases will have new features
and big improvements to performance so give them a try and don't forget
to send in any TalkBack reports.

Thanks

It's nice to get a trunk "milestone" (or at least half-milestone) build
again.

But if current state of code gets released as 1.1a, you can' tcount on
having any working localized builds of those available anywhere!

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142623
is causing language XPI packs not to work on trunk builds (this has been
there for a while now) and so it also breaks 1.1a functionality heavily.

I just wanted to note that. As long as not even the workaround for this
bug is ready and checked in, L10n people won't be able to provide
language XPI packs.

Have you all finished your 1.0 packs, then? :-P
