Camino builds moving to Mozilla source

Steve Dagley of Netscape provided some notes on recent "nightly builds" of Camino browser for Mac OS X (previously called Chimera): "We're seeing lots of feedback from people that are surprised the current Camino nightly builds aren't as stable as the ones leading up to the 0.7 milestone. This is to be expected as we move to the Mozilla trunk from the old Chimera branch. Some people may enjoy living on the bleeding edge during this transition but for those that don't we suggest sticking with the Camino 0.7 milestone release posted last week."

you camino guys better get your fingers out of your butts and give us camino 0.8 with the current mozilla 1.3 trunk. and help you god if it's not much faster. as soon as safari has tabs you are out of business.

I'm using Chimera now only because Camino's lost all the Aqua widgets. Ugly. And if this stupid browser would only stop crashing and losing all my favicons. Bah. Soon as Safari w/tabs is released - so long!

It means that Chimera was using an older version of Gecko, the rendering engine. So now for Camino .8 they are working on syncing up with the mozilla project, so that it should be just as up to date and fast as mozilla.

It's a good thing guys, and stop threatening open source developers. Have some respect.

For the record, i use safari.

I know you Apple devotees love to put Apple on a pedestal, so therefore all of their software is the best ever made, but COME ON, Camino is a FAR better browser. I've tried the latest Safari dev with tabs and it's nowhere near the browser Camino is. Maybe this will change when Safari gets out of beta. Wake up people! Safari tabs are not a Camino killer... look at the whole picture.

I use Safari too.

It would be sad if Camino died. Safari would have no competition and would stagnate.

I still think OW is the best interface.

How can you people insult and curse the Camino folks? Did they ever force you to use their software? Did they ever make you pay for their hard work? Does the very existance of the Camino project threatens your wellbeing in any way? People are so ungrateful.

Without a doubt, camino 0.7 is a far better browser than Safari v64 with tabs. It's about 15% faster (documented from server transfers), far more stable, better GUI.

Keep up the good work - it is appreciated.

well, messing with the chimera guys is so lame. the browser is still more compatible to actual websites than safari. as a webdesigner i have to say safari is still a pain in the ass. have some respect and get some knowledge before you bash the good guys...
