Firefox version leap, Shiretoko turns into 3.5?

Posted in Internet, News  by Yuki

Firefox yesterday made a discussion to change Shiretoko into Firefox 3.5 due to a total increasing volume of work. The proposal has been argued in Firefox internal meeting.

As the version 3.5 released from 3.1, new features are consequently being focused. Shiretoko presently supports video tag and TraceMonkey. Some significant improvements over users' data privacy are being added and also, the alternation in web layout and rendering platform is under operation.

Besides, under this proposal:
* Shiretoko would be released as Firefox 3.5,
* the upcoming third beta release would still carry the 3.1b3 version numbering,
* the following fourth beta will be numbered Firefox 3.5b4,
* "Minefield" builds from the trunk mozilla-central repository will be renumbered to 3.6a1pre until further notice - we will need to consider and decide on a version number for that release at a future date,
* The Gecko version numbering will not change; remain 1.9.1 on the mozilla-1.9.1 branch and 1.9.2 on the mozilla-central repository for the foreseeable future.

Moreover, in version 3.5, systems like addons.mozilla.org, bugzilla.mozilla.org, tinderbox.mozilla.org, crash-stats.mozilla.com, are made to operate under the smallest disruption.
