[luau] News - Mozilla 1.2b (beta) Released

[Warren Togami]

Mozilla 1.2b (beta) Released.  Keep in mind that this _is_ a beta, so it
is expected to be less stable than Mozilla 1.0.1.  (1.1 generally isn't
stable either.)  You can download it for almost every platform from our
local mirror:

What's New in Mozilla 1.2b

    * Type ahead find works on Mac Mozilla and works correctly with IME.
    * Linux Mozilla (in the Classic theme) will pick up the native GTK
theme and HTML form controls now pick up the native theme on winXP.
    * Mozilla now supports link prefetching; see the Link Prefetching
FAQ for details.
    * Mozilla Mail includes a new "filter after the fact" capability so
users can create a filter and then run that filter on already downloaded
mail. Filter logging has also been implemented.
    * A long requested feature, show toolbars as text/icons/both, has
been implemented.
    * You can launch the browser with a bookmark group as your start
page. This loads several pages into tabs at startup.
    * Java compatability with Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar) has been repaired.
    * XFT support landed (not enabled in default builds). Build with
--enable-xft on a system with the xft libs to use this feature.

New Additions to the Release Notes

These are items that have been added to the release notes since the last
milestone although the bugs themselves may have existed previously.

    * A bug exists that causes pop-up blocking to block JavaScript
alerts. (Bug 167559)
    * You should avoid the Classic theme if you use a non-local X
server. Using classic theme with non-local X servers can cause a severe
performance problem.
