    This is an official point-release of Firefox 2.0 for BeOS. Please read the release notes for details. In addition to the stability and security fixes common to all platforms, 2.0.0.10 fixes these BeOS-specific issues:
  • Bug 403406: Cursor is sometimes incorrect for context.
  • Bug 397116: Improved resource file.
  • Bug 343987: Back-port gfx fixes to branch.

    Upgrading is recommended.
    Please note: there will be no BeOS release of Firefox 2.0.0.11. It was released to fix a regression in a module (canvas) not used in BeOS builds.

    In addition to all the general patches and updates mentioned in the release notes, Firefox 2.0.0.8 includes several enhancements just for BeOS:
  • Faster library loading thanks to building with -bsymbolic (bug 389953)
  • Faster icon loading in download manager (bug 327296)
  • - Pseudo-bold font emulation for typefaces lacking boldface (172785)
  • Working shutdown from Deskbar or when shutting down system (bug 164498)
  • New resource file eliminates MIME-types for mail and news since Firefox does not handle these (bug 397204). This one did not actually make it into 2.0.0.8 but was added as a patch. It will be in a later branch release.

    Built from current Firefox 2.0.0.2 branch code with only one patch, 319807 - [BEOS] Fix Netpositive bookmarks under Firefox.

    Because of copyright and branding issues, the software calls itself \\\"Bon Echo,\\\" but this is Firefox 2.0.0.2, with the latest security patches as released by the Mozilla Foundation.

    Three versions are available:
    R5: for all BeOS-derived platforms R5.0.1 and later. The conservative choice.
    BONE: for BeOS and derivates including Zeta with BONE net stack
    Zeta: for Zeta only; requires i686 (pentium II, Athlon) or later CPU. Zeta users with older systems should use BONE version.

     License:   Mozilla Public License
     Updated:   November 9, 2006
     Source:   Source Available
    This release is a minor cleanup of our port of Firefox 2.0 for BeOS and derivates, released with apologies so soon after releasing 2.0

    Because of copyright and branding issues, the software calls itself "Bon Echo" and not Firefox. Be assured, however, this release is based on months of hard work, integrating trunk performance improvements to the official 2.0 branch code. Unfortunately, it seems several fixes simply didn't make it into the "official" 2.0 branch before it froze, like
    339031 - [BeOS] dragging bookmark in "organize bookmarks" window crashes browser
    359081 - [BeOS] iframe scrolling broken in 1.8 branch including Firefox 2.0
    Also several other small bugs are fixed outside BeOS-only code areas.

    319807 - [BEOS] Fix Netpositive bookmarks under Firefox
    is also included as a convenience.

    Three versions are available:
    R5: for all BeOS-derived platforms R5.0.1 and later. The conservative choice.
    BONE: for BeOS and derivates including Zeta with BONE net stack
    Zeta: for Zeta only; requires i686 (pentium II, Athlon) or later CPU. Zeta users with older systems should use BONE version.

    Eep, been a while since I've updated the poor BeBits entry for Firebird. A lack of BeOS compatible computers and DONATIONS (=P) prevented me from doing *anything* BeOS based. Finally, I decided to do the impossible -- scoure the garage for the old BeOS PC from years gone past. After hours of searching and pain, the computer was uncovered and I am now using BeOS full time again (Linux doesn't even -compare-).

    This build is basically a vanilla build from the latest sources. I've been using it for about, err... 10 minutes, and it seems "nicer" than the old JetGFX version (although this version -apparently- isn't using JetGFX. I don't think JetGFX is in the official Mozilla source tree yet. But it's still nice, and if you really want JetGFX, well... you can download the old build from either here or here).

    New features include prettier buttons, a spiffy Firebird Options window, and an even spiffier About window (really, the upgrade is worth it for the non-horrid about window alone ;)). As far as *actual* features go, well... I'm sure you can find the changelog somewhere. =P

    Bandwidth issues should *not* be an issue this time (I'm posting it on Rodent Industries rather than BeZilla.org because I've lost the password since The Great Reformat and Paul hasn't E-Mailed it to me yet), but I suppose mirrors are always appreciated.

    Have fun!

    What's this? Phoenix 0.5.5? But you said you wouldn't update Phoenix until the next version of Phoenix!

    Well, fyysik made a TRULY AMAZING graphics engine replacement for Mozilla, which _REALLY_ makes Phoenix a LOT faster and makes it render sites that would render fine on Windows and Linux Mozilla, but wouldn't on BeOS Mozilla.

    This version is probably very close to what the "0.6" version is going to be, so expect a new theme and new features when you download 0.5.5. :)

    **IMPORTANT**
    It is HIGHLY recommended that you delete your old Phoenix directory and profile. The profile directory of Phoenix is located in /boot/home/config/settings/Phoenix. Remember, once you delete this directory, your bookmarks and custom settings will be gone, so if you REALLY don't want to lose them, don't delete this directory.

    For anyone interested in the source:
    The source changes are the same as those posted here, although some lines have been slightly shifted up or down a bit. Also, the source to fyysik's graphics engine is available here. This is still a work in progress, so the code isn't at tidy as it could be. ;)

    As usual, mirrors are appreciated. :)

    At long last, Phoenix 0.5 is compiled for BeOS! This is a quick-and-dirty build with just one line of code modified (widget/src/beos/nsWindow.cpp - line 2921: aFlags = B_OUTLINE_RESIZE). I realize that many of you have been emailing me patches to Phoenix. I will apply them as soon as a new name is decided for on Phoenix and when it is released.

    For help on the autocomplete bug, please look at the Talkback. Karina has explained how to turn autocomplete off.

    The second release, now featuring support for non-i686 processors! As well as removing i686 optimizations (don't worry, speed is about the same as last time), all Phoenix windows now have B_OUTLINE_RESIZE on, which at least makes it seem as if Phoenix is faster. ;)

    As usual, mirrors are greatly appreciated!
