this FTP link, everyone else that wants to help try to set a world record
will have to wait until 10am PDT and hit up the
official site.
In Firefox related news, Ars Technica reports that Mozilla
has already begun planning out the next major update to its
popular browser: Firefox 3.1. This next release is still said to
be in the 'early stages of planning,' but a Firefox 3.1
planning page is already up on the Mozilla wiki, and
developers have begun laying out a
feature list. Among the features expected in the next
release, we see tab previews, a revamped tagging user interface,
an "advanced" search interface, and bulk tagging support.
Firefox 3.1 will also feature the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering engine,
which Ars says will bring support for HTML 5 video and a CSS
text shadow setting. Judging by the
schedule in the Mozilla wiki, the first Firefox 3.1 alpha
release should materialize in mid-July.
