| | </p> |
| | Nightly builds are not official. They are an up-to-the-day snapshot of |
| | current development. |
| | <p> |
| | <b>What's New (0.2.7 -> 0.2.8)</b> |
| | <p> |
| | Autocomplete has been implemented in the URL bar. |
| | <p> |
| | The Go menu has been implemented, so that you can now go back and forward multiple steps. |
| | <p> |
| | Bookmarks menus (in the menu bar and personal toolbar) now have icons. |
| | <p> |
| | Downloads can still only be initiated using Option+Click or the context menu, but they |
| | will now at least show progress. |
| | <p> |
| | The status bar now has a security indicator. |
| | <p> |
| | Prefs panels are starting to trickle in. |
| | <p> |
| | Plugins have gotten some tweaks and fixes. |
| | <p> |
| | The Toggle Sidebar button crasher (from customizing the toolbar) has now been fixed. |
| | <p> |
| | <b>What's New (0.2.6 -> 0.2.7)</b> |
| | You can now drag the page proxy icon from the URL bar to |
| | the personal toolbar or to the bookmarks in the drawer. |
| | <p> |
| | The proxy icon can be dragged to the tab strip (as can bookmarks from the drawer) to |
| | create new tabs. |
| | <p> |
| | You can now reorder your bookmarks using drag and drop in the drawer. |
| | <p> |
| | The key bindings for back and forward have been changed from arrows to the bracket |
| | keys. |
| | <p> |
| | The bug with not being able to type in forms on your home page has been fixed. |
| | <p> |
| | <b>What's New (0.2.5 -> 0.2.6)</b> |
| | <p> |
| | Proxy settings specified in your System Preferences are now honored by Chimera. |
| | For those of you waiting on proxy support, here it is! :) |
| | <p> |
| | Chimera now supports the importing of bookmarks. You can import bookmarks from |
| | Mozilla, Netscape, Internet Explorer, or Omniweb. |
| | <p> |
| | View source has been implemented. |
| | <p> |
| | <b>What's New (0.2.4 -> 0.2.5)</b> |
| | <p> |
| | Plugin support has been greatly improved. Crashes when scrolling pages with Flash have |
| | been fixed. This build is generally much more stable with plugins than 0.2.4. Plugins |
| | will now stay inside the window and not paint on your toolbars and status bar. |
| | <p> |
| | The ability to choose your renderer has been fully implemented. From the View menu, |
| | you can select "Smooth Text" to use Quartz anti-aliasing. If you turn this option off, |
| | you will be using Quickdraw un-antialiased text. International users can turn off |
| | the Quartz anti-aliasing to view non-Roman characters. This can also be used as a good |
| | debugging tool to find out whether performance or rendering problems are specific to our |
| | Quartz rendering implementation. |
| | <p> |
| | Menulist popups will now position themselves properly when the page is scrolled. |
| | <p> |
| | You can now drag and drop links from a page onto Gecko windows to load the URL in that |
| | window. |
| | <p> |
| | <b>What's New (0.2.3 -> 0.2.4)</b> |
| | <p> |
| | Plugins plugins plugins! Quicktime seems to work rather well, but Flash still has several |
| | crashers. Pages with Flash *will* be unstable in this build. Do not replace 0.2.3 with |
| | this build unless you like living on the edge. :) |
| | <p> |
| | - Gamma correction has been returned (hopefully) to the 0.2.1 level. |
| | <p> |
| | - Font defaults have been tweaked a fair bit to hopefully provide a better default browsing |
| | experience than 0.2.3. |
| | <p> |
| | - Popups now position themselves better. (I won't go so far as to say "properly", but they're |
| | better.) |
| | <p> |
| | - Textareas now have an Aqua appearance (this was left out of 0.2.3). |
| | <p> |
| | <b>What's New (0.2.2 -> 0.2.3)</b> |
| | <p> |
| | Chimera 0.2.2 was compiled with correct ATSUI (ATSUI with kerning and ligatures |
| | enabled). Yes, we have that working, but as you saw, it slows things down substantially. |
| | Chimera 0.2.3 returns to the fast ATSUI as the default. This pref will eventually be |
| | exposed in Advanced preferences (along with the ability to use Quickdraw as well). |
| | <p> |
| | The gamma correction regression present in 0.2.2 has been fixed in 0.2.3. |
| | <p> |
| | The form controls are now Aqua. This includes button, checkboxes, radio buttons, textfields, |
| | listboxes and menulists. Most importantly menulists now function! :) |
| | <p> |
| | Some more crash fixes also made it into 0.2.3. |
| | <P> |
| | Enjoy! |

| | <p><b>What's New (0.2.1 -> 0.2.2)</b> |
| | <p> |
| | Chimera can now open URLs sent to it from other apps, so you can |
| | now make Chimera your default browser and not have it sit there |
| | looking stupid when you tell it to load something. ;) |
| | <p> |
| | Text Zoom has been implemented, so you can now increase and decrease |
| | the font size used in a Web page. |
| | <p> |
| | Chimera now obeys the new minimum font size pref, ensuring that |
| | Quartz-rendered fonts don't fall below the typical anti-aliasing cutoff |
| | point. |
| | Quartz rendering has been improved. In addition to being speedier, |
| | it now has fixes for printing and for text spacing. |
| | <p> |
| | Chimera now has a bookmarks toolbar. Like the Mozilla Classic personal |
| | toolbar, Chimera's toolbar can wrap to multiple rows and supports pages |
| | and folders. |
| | <p> |
| | Bookmarks management has been improved. You can now specify where you |
| | want to create a new bookmark. You can now create new folders. |
| | The sidebar tree widget has been enhanced to support more keyboard |
| | navigation (left/right arrows to open/close, return to launch, |
| | delete key to delete, etc.). |
| <p> |
<p> |
| <table bgcolor="gray" width=75% border="2"> | Bookmark groups have been fully implemented. When adding a bookmark |
| <tr> | with multiple tabs open, you have the option of bookmarking all the |
| <td> | tabs as a single group. Use this feature to load bundles of pages in a single |

| of Export Administration Entity List, and Specially Designated Nationals). | |
| <p> |

| If you plan to mirror this download read our crypto FAQ. | Background tab loading will now work. Background tabs will now refresh |
| | properly if left unattended. |
