Public bug reported:
Firefox 3.1 is a significant release, in that it provides the following:
* Much lighter memory footprint compared to previous Firefox versions --
ties in with next point...
* Updated JavaScript engine: Tracemonkey. Highly optimized for speed, and
garbage collection.
* Fixes many stability issues with Flash, and many annoyances with flash
video playback are gone.
* Resistant to random website crashes, including script-heavy ones that
have been prone to crashing under 3.0.x
* Highlighting and Dragging text/images/etc actually works -- in previous
version, selecting large elements such a images or large blocks
of text was unusable, and frankly, it looked ugly due to the lack of
anti-aliasing ... all fixed and working smoothly.
* Ctrl+Tab cycles between browser tabs, like a window manager.
If 3.1 were to be accepted, it would likely mean shipping a beta in Intrepid
Ibex.
(Though I would like to note further, I reckon it would be an extremely solid
beta if the pre-beta is anything to judge by. "Reasonable fashion"? It's almost
indestructible.)
wiki.mozilla.org
Alpha release criteria
* Alphas must be generally usable for testing websites and features
* No significant features broken
* Major/high value sites should function and display in a
reasonable fashion
Beta release criteria
* Betas must be stable and usable enough for daily browsing for a
large number of people
* Features are fully implemented, if not finalized
* Most sites should display properly and regression free (from
previous major release)
