On Mozilla.org we find a new release of the web browser Mozilla. This time we are talking about the second Release Candidate for version 1.5. The release contains a lot new features†

Mozilla now includes a spell checker for Mail/News and Composer.
Additional Mail/News 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 was 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 client, has had a major overhaul bringing logging and many additional improvements.

Dom Inspector can now display the #document node (the document root).

It is now possible to jump from the JavaScript console to the relevant line in the View Source window

Mozilla’s view source now displays line and column numbers in the status bar.

A quicksearch filter has been implemented for about:config.

Gecko now supports setting color for < HR >.

The ‘::’ notation for CSS pseudo-elements is now supported. The old ‘:’ notation is still supported for the various -moz-* pseudo-elements, but will not be supported in Mozilla 1.5. Themes should be updated to use the ‘::’ notation for pseudo-elements.

Unstyled XML display has been improved.

Mozilla should no longer cause GDI problems on Windows.

A common problem collapsing the address field pop-up menu on Windows has been fixed.
