2005-09-15 Trunk builds
Trunk builds of Firefox use the version number 1.6a1, which prevents most existing extensions from working. You can work around this by setting app.extensions.version in about:config to 1.0+ or by using the "Make compatible" feature of the Nightly Tester Tools extension.
If you use a trunk build with your branch profile, your extensions will be disabled and you'll have to re-enable them if you return to the branch. If you want to use different profiles on the trunk and branch, you can make Firefox bring up the profile manager with "firefox.exe -p", and you can make Firefox use a specific profile with "firefox.exe -p profilename".
There have been hundreds of checkins since the previous Burning Edge trunk post. Here are some of the most exciting fixes and new features.
Fixes that will probably be trunk-only:
- Fixed: 229473 - Emacs-like/readline-like ctrl+letter shortcuts should work on Mac OS X.
- Fixed: 73373 - Multiple Selection of Text with CTRL.
- Fixed: 272702 - Remove skipped content.
- Fixed: 192077 - Img align=middle rendered incorrectly.
- Fixed: 301234 - Implement a subset of SVG filters (more info).
- Fixed: 294517 - Implement SVG Patterns (more info).
- Fixed: 303727 - Supply a supported way to access anonymous <div> of HTML input/textarea (for extensions).
- Fixed: 212789 - Horizontal Scrolling for XUL Tree Controls.
- Fixed: 230909 - Ability to disable "this script is running slowly" message.
- Fixed: 297914 - [Linux] Use BZ2 packaging for GTK2 builds (8.0MB download becomes 7.4MB download).
Fixes that are likely to be checked into the branch too:
- Fixed: 293350 - Allow dynamic changes of notification callbacks (was: Don't show download status in status bar (since it shows in the DL manager)).
- Fixed: 302640 - HasFeature for SVG DOM implementation yields true with native SVG disabled.
I'm not keeping track of day-to-day regressions on the trunk.
