So far, the bugfixes and improvements are minor. The bugfixes enable the code to be compiled under a variety of environments, and stop crashes under certain conditions. The improvements are also minor so far, and not "centralized," just individual hacks that people have put in. Here's a sample message from one of the newsgroups to give you a flavor of what's going on: --------- Subject: Ignore Advertisements Feature Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 23:02:34 -0500 From: Chris Dickerson <chrisd@tsc.com> Organization: NT Mozillian! Newsgroups: netscape.public.mozilla.general Yeah, banner ads stink. Especially when you are a modem user (well, ISDN doesnt like ads either ;) Have no fear! I added a feature to ignore HTML and images that head up pages.. and typical advertisement sizes (I used to code for people using ads.. the sizes are industry standard). ------------- Remember, this is after less than a week of code availability!
