Alpha version of Mozilla makes debut
Mozilla.org has released the long-awaited "alpha" version of its
open source Web browser, dubbed M13, in a signal that the troubled
project may finally be putting some of its problems behind it. With
the alpha, which is posted on Mozilla's Web site, the organization
is expressing its confidence that the software is stable enough to
be a user's primary browser and mail client, although it still will
go through several versions before a final release. In general, an
alpha version is not considered stable enough for the public, but
Mozilla watchers may want to give it a test spin. Neither Mozilla
nor Netscape could be reached immediately for comment. The release
is a major milestone for Mozilla, which was founded by Netscape
Communications to handle the open source development of the
Communicator browser. During its short history, the group has
struggled to meet deadlines and has suffered several key employee
defections.
