The browser formerly known as Chimera hits v0.7
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac

In addition to a new download manager, this 'first' Camino offers Rendezvous awareness
and better Shockwave support
Mozilla.org has released Camino (formerly known as Chimera) v0.7. This web browser has
a Cocoa user interface and is based on the Gecko layout engine. It is intended to be a
simple, small and fast browser for Mac OS X.
"Camino is still in the beta stage of its development. Though it is stable enough to
use day-to-day, but you may still encounter bugs," advises Mozilla's Camino-project
webpage. "You should always keep backup copies of important data that you use with
Camino (ie your bookmarks file)."
New and improved features include:
... New Download Manager, with auto-download and auto-dispatch.
... Compatible with URL Manager Pro;
... Page Text Encodings menu;
... Global History in the sidebar;
... Send Link menu item, and other new toolbar buttons;
... Dragging of images and links to the desktop, and other applications;
... Support for Shockwave Directory content; and
... Uses Rendezvous to show local FTP and web servers.
You can download your copy of Camino here.
Editor's note: The text-encoding menu will be a welcome addition for those who
regularly view pages coded (improperly) in languages other than English. The download
manager is a feature that's much needed, as is better Shockwave support.
Perhaps the most important new feature ? not in terms of actual functionality today ?
is Rendezous awareness. Down the road when more devices and apps are Rendezvous aware,
I think this technology is going to be absolutely killer and it's absolutely critical
to get it into as many client-type apps as possible.
Also, it can't hurt Mozilla to maintain feature parity with Safari. Go Mozilla!
