Download Mozilla 1.5 final

Anyone who visits mozilla.org can’t ignore it: Mozilla 1.5 is out. After a number of Release Candidates, the new version of the popular web browser has been declared stable. The main changes in the program look like this:

• Mozilla now includes a spell checker for MailNews and Composer.
• Additional MailNews improvements include:
  • Users can add header lines to *every* message sent out via a certain identity.
  • A common application hang with SSL-encrypted SMTP connections has been fixed.
  • Printing of the attachments list is now supported.
  • Users can now mark message as read by date.
• Many great improvements to Mozilla Composer including:
  • Better resizing for images, tables, and absolutely positioned objects.
  • Support for absolutely positioned objects, movable on the canvas using the mouse.
  • Support for z-index management.
  • “Snap to grid” when moving an absolutely positioned object.
  • Source View now uses an editor instead of a simple textarea (allows find and replace).
  • Numerous fixes in caret management, inline styles handling, and CSS styles handling.
• Improvements to tabbed browsing, including:
  • Tabs are now replaced when a bookmark group is loaded. This can be changed to the old “append” behavior in the Tabbed browsing preferences.
  • Back and Forward navigation for tabbed browsing and bookmark groups has been improved. Users can now use the back button after loading a bookmark group to restore the previous set of tabs.
  • Closing a window with multiple tabs now prompts the user with a confirmation dialog (which can be disabled for future close operations).
• ChatZilla, Mozilla’s internet relay chat (IRC) client, has had a major overhaul bringing logging and many additional improvements.
