Eugene, blame me. Sorry. I don't deserve to be here making releases
happen for you. I'll work harder next time.
As others have said, there isn't anything different (that you'll notice)
in Mozilla 0.6 from Netscape 6 except the lack of Netscape proprietary
features like Java, AIM and spellcheck (there are some others I can't
remember, I think). The intent was not to release something better than
Netscape 6. The intent was to release something equivalent to Netscape
6. The reason it's a month later is because I had to coordinate the
landing of a couple fixes for OS/2 and mathML (they were fast with the
fixes, I was slow with the coordination) and then I had to test the
resulting builds. This takes a little time and I was also trying to keep
up with the trunk.
