It did not take so long to write the code, but it took *a looonnng time* to
push it through the slow wheels of the Mozilla organization, until the code
was integrated into the regular sources and built in the regular builds
(some of it is not yet there, but I will not tell you what). Some of the
process involves code reviews and enhancements to better blend into
Mozilla's design or coding rules, which is rather positive, and beneficial
in the long run.
For those who may be interested, Netscape has published version 6.1
(preview) of its browser, which is based on Mozilla 0.9.2. I have tested
the Windows version, and its Hebrew support was good for all the pages I
tested. It is also reasonably fast, in my opinion.
If people download the Linux version and test it, it would be interesting
to see some feedback.
