1.4.1 Out!

Postby Hendikins » Sat 11 Oct, 2003 3:10 am

Yes, it is!

Only new stuff is bugfixes.

I've got a 1.4.1 xft/gtk2/svg/calendar build to contribute.

Does 1.4.1 solve the resource leak?

I have been using the preliminary version, and it is the best thing I have.
Why the GRE folder? I thought that they were supposed to make things easier. One GRE for all, or something like it. But, great job.

humpd: No resources leak with this. That's, probably, why it was issued.
Just another GRE folder.

The Linux install was easy. Auto-detected an earlier version, prompted to delete the old files. And it works! :)

In Windows, it took out all third party stuff. I was I was given a choice. But it is no big deal to put back the Prefbar, Home button and autoscroll. I wish I was given a choice. Also, the exception of 1.4.1 in being able to view some video files is gone. http://sillydog.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3420
I will probably never find out what made it work. It does not appear to be a plugin, unless I got some replacement, in which case, no thanks.

Does anyone know what the situation is WRT Mozilla 1.5? The mozilla.org site indicated it would be released the first week of October, and the month is almost 1/2 over already.

I did not see any updates other than the 1.4.1 bug fix release.

MozillaZine notes that Mozilla 1.4.1 does include the new feature of a spellchecker.

I suspect that Mozilla 1.5 Final should come soon. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the Mozilla 1.5 Final within the next week, but I'm content to wait for a good product.

The Mozilla developers seem to want to release Mozilla 1.5 and Thunderbird 0.3 at the same time, and there was also some sort of security hole found in the Mozilla 1.5 build and the trunk builds that had to be fixed. Perhaps these issues contributed to a delay.

It works great for me....

Postby DoctorJ » Sun 12 Oct, 2003 9:18 pm

The final release of Mozilla 1.4.1 works quite well for me....

In regards to the GRE folder, it uninstalled any older GREs (I've only got one).

It definitely seems peppier/quicker.

All of my 3rd party extensions seem to work fine (though I did uninstall previous mozilla installations before installing 1.4.1).

In regards to the video, I'm using the activex plugin (with activex.js limiting its use to windows media player) as well as the MS ActiveX Portability Container, both of which one can get at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org

I just installed 1.4.1 under Windows 98. When it launches, I get the box to select a profile. I created a new profile for Mozilla. However, when I put the mouse on top of one of the profile names and click the mouse to select the Mozilla profile, it does not highlight the name, but the box dissappears afterwards and the browser opens. Nothing else is selected in that box.

I have never seen this happen before, and was curious as to whether this might be a NEW bug?

View - Show/Hide - Navigation Bar

I never noticed this before.

Select the More folder on it, go down to "forum", and then can jump to any SD701 Forum from there, but it only works from when inside a topic, not from a main forum. :)

Neat!

I, always, get this if the previously used profile was the same. For instance I have Moz1.4, Moz1.5, MozC(for 1.6 nightlies). If I used 1.4.1, it will not highligh the next time. If I select any of the other two, they will be highlighted. I have seen this for long time, even when Netscape 7.02 and 7.1
were installed.

I clicked the box to NOT show that window again, which cured the problem. 1.4.1 continues to use the new profile that was created.

Just noticed an interesting problem with 1.4.1:

If there is a URL within a SD forum message, and the link is clicked, the link will open in a new browser session/window, NOT in a new browser tab.

Not sure why this is occurring, and did not see anything under Preferences where this can be changed. I looked under Navigator/Tabbed Browsing, tried all of the checkboxes in various combinations, and none of them fixed this.
