| The newest build is 0.2.0. | |

| <p> | |
| <p><b>What's New In 0.2.0</b> | |
| <p> | |
| The latest build of Chimera demonstrates a highly experimental | |
| implementation of Quartz rendering. The current build locks you | |
| into Quartz, but the Quickdraw renderer will still be available | |
| via a pref in a later point release. For now you're locked into | |
| Quartz with the current build. Also, printing with Quartz turned on | |
| is pretty busted, so don't even bother. :) | |
| <p> | |
| Chimera 0.2.0 has much improved scrolling over previous versions. | |
| Most importantly it now uses native Aqua scrollbars rather than | |
| emulating the look via the Appearance Manager. Scrolling is also | |
| much faster, using both the wheel and the keyboard. | |
| <p> | |
| The tab browser feature has had some crash fixes and speed | |
| enhancements. You can now also cycle through tabs via the keyboard | |
| and close tabs. In addition the tab strip will auto-hide when only | |
| one tab is being used. | |
| <p> | |
| Support for Command and Shift clicking of links has been added. You | |
| can use Command+Click to open a link in a new window. If you use the | |
| Shift modifier, the window will load in the background. You can also | |
| make Command/Shift open tabs instead by setting the same pref that is | |
| used by Mozilla. The load links in background pref that Mozilla uses | |
| is also supported by Chimera. (These prefs aren't exposed in Chimera's | |
| UI yet, so you'll have to enter your secret .mozilla dir and edit your | |
| prefs.js by hand.) | |
| <p> | |
| Chimera 0.2.0 has a new splash screen, application icon, and new toolbar | |
| and sidebar icons. | |
| <p> | |
| Finally and most importantly Chimera has had many crash fixes and | |
| stability fixes. | |
| <p> | |
| Enjoy! <br> | |

| <p><b>Building Chimera</b><br> | |
| <p> | |
| Chimera has complete build instructions on mozilla's Web pages (under | |
| the code name ChimChim). You can find those instructions | |
| <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/ChimChim.html">here</a>. | |
| Be aware that the downloadable build listed above contains numerous | |
| patches to Mozilla that have not yet been accepted, so any builds that | |
| you do will not be as stable or as performant as the downloadable | |
| build above. | |
| <p> | |
| If you have questions about building, use the chimera mailing list or hop on to #mozilla, and someone can help you out. | |
