Aviary Branch Landing Puts Firefox on the Road to 1.1 (MozillaZine)
[Posted December 8, 2004 by cook]
MozillaZine
reports on the new Firefox Aviary branch.
"
Last week, the Aviary branch landed on the trunk, bringing the trunk builds
of Mozilla Firefox into line with Firefox 1.0. The Aviary branch was cut from
the 1.7 branch earlier this year, allowing Mozilla 1.8 development to
continue on the trunk without the worry that radical changes (such as those
made to Gecko) would adversely affect the stability of Firefox 1.0 and
Thunderbird 1.0.
Changes to core Mozilla components like Gecko were only checked into trunk
and not the Aviary branch, while late-breaking Firefox 1.0 features (like the
Find bar and the Plugin Finder Service) were only checked into the Aviary
branch and not the trunk. Both Firefox 0.9 and 1.0 were released from the
Aviary branch."
