Moving on to the "when" issue, the actual release dates were:
Firefox 3.0.11 June 11 (security release)
Firefox 3.5 June 30 (new release)
Firefox 3.5.1 July 17 (security release)
Firefox 3.0.12 July 21 (security release)
I've been using RHL/RHEL since v2.1, and if they publish and maintain a
release calendar the way they do for Fedora releases, I haven't seen it.
So I don't have any way to determine -- without asking here -- when a
change will occur. From the above release dates, your suggestion that
"the RHEL5.4 beta was probably cut months before Firefox 3.5 was
released" is obviously incorrect. Since Firefox 3.5 was released 19 days
after the Firefox 3.0.11 that's in RHEL5.4beta, I think a reworded
version of my question is still a fair one:
Presumably updating to a security update within the same release entails
less testing and verification work than a major upgrade.
When will we get Firefox 3.5 in RHEL?
Looking back at history, RHEL 5.0 released with FF 1.5 (even though 2.0
was already available at the time). It was updated to 3.0 (skipping 2.x
completely) only after mozilla discontinued security support for 1.5.
Going by this, my guess is that RHEL will get an updated FF sometime
after mozilla discontinues security support for 3.0.
