[*LONG* explanation snipped] FWIW, I agree with Joe Kelsey: the 1.1 release is definitely not a development release. The 1.0 branch was IIRC created for independant vendors that needed a stable Gecko API, but for normal desktop usage I don't think that that will be necessary. Also, I do think that it's worth having both ports in the tree if you (or others) are willing to maintain it. --Stijn --=20 Beware of he who would deny you access to information.
