The CVS tree for Mozilla 1.0 closed today.

"Several airliners were hit by airborne pigs today, and ACME sweaters reports their largest order ever has come in from Hell."

Drat. I was just about to submit a patch to turn off the internal setBrowserSpeedToMolasses setting.

At this level, software versioning is delightfully arbitrary. Rather than stomp out the dozens of extant bugs, they weed out the really nasty ones (we hope!) and ignore the rest until the next major milestone. Sure it sounds bad at first blush, but hey, Microsoft built an empire on this kind of release engineering.

Yay for them. Any sign of, say, S/MIME support?

Mind you, closing the tree != actually shipping a 1.0 browser. Oh, and as recently as, about a year ago, the big talk at the campus lunch tables was basically should we declare 1.0 as a moral booster / propaganda coup ahead of schedule, or when it's done? You can guess what the consensus was...
