Daniel Glazman announced on September 15, 2006 that he has stopped
official development on Nvu and he is developing a successor to it,
tentatively called Composer (or Mozilla Composer 2.0), as a
Mozilla.org project. It is written from scratch and based on Mozilla
trunk Gecko 1.9 and XULRunner. PHP and CSS will be supported. A
community-driven fork, KompoZer[1], maintains Nvu codebase and fixes
bugs until a successor to Nvu is released.
>From Daniel Glazman's own blog [2], Dec 2006:
How active is the Composer project?
Well, it's active ; I spend most of my days on it, a colleague here
at Disruptive Innovations is also implementing new features for it,
and a few companies have knocked on our door to sponsor it ... A few
other people are already working on features or even extensions to
Composer. The Mozilla Foundations (Frank Hecker to name him) is
actively helping us in our quest for a new name for the project. It
is alive and well alive.
Is there a home page for the Composer project, separate from SeaMonkey?
Not yet.
Nvu 1.0 was released in June 2005 [3].
KompoZer is "Nvu's unofficial bug-fix release" [4], currently at version
0.77, released 23rd July 2006.
