Camino 1.5.4 improves security, stability

The Camino Project has released Camino 1.5.4, improving stability and security of the third-party Web browser for Mac users. The latest release upgrades to the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine 1.8.1.11, which includes several critical security and stability fixes. The update also improves compatibility with some DHTML websites, fixes a bug allowing users to set the application as the default browser or feed reader when no application was already set, and opens sub-menus in the History menu more quickly while capping items at a maximum of 50.

Under Mac OS X 10.5, Camino 1.5.4 the first tooltip displayed on a page appears properly, the application's icon contains a 512x512 pixel version for better integration with Leopard, and the status bar takes on the dark gray 'rounded' appearance when running in Leopard.

Camino also purges expired site icons from the site icon cache when quitting, and improves ad-blocking functionality.
