Let me clarify. There are two versions of TenFourFox, the stable and the unstable branches. The stable branch is based on Firefox ESR, which is indeed Firefox 10. It receives security patches and bug fixes, and (if deemed important) new PowerPC-specific features, but it does not receive new Mozilla features. It is meant to be a stable basis for ports and for users, and has higher quality requirements. Serious bugs will, once identified and confirmed, be fixed promptly. The unstable branch is current with Firefox-release. 11 is available and 12 will shortly be available (I completed the port over the weekend). It is generally suitable for day-to-day usage, but may have minor to moderate bugs and these bugs may not necessarily be repaired on any particular timetable. TenFourBird is based on the stable branch, therefore 10. There is an ESR of Thunderbird, and TenFourBird merges the 10 changesets with that to yield an ESR version themselves. Assuming the maintainers keep it up to date (I am not involved with their work and I don't even know who the maintainer(s) are), it will also receive security patches and bug fixes for the lifetime of the ESR. ESR 10 will end support somewhere around Firefox 19, and will be replaced by ESR 17. Hopefully TenFourFox makes it that far, and if it does, hopefully TenFourBird also makes the jump. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Ah, the insight of hindsight. -- Thurston N.
