Feeling Slightly courageous?

OK, I'm at it again, however with less risk. Camino released version 1.0.3 of its browser yesterday to kind of coincide with the release of Firefox 1.5.0.7, both of which contain bug fixes as well as numerous security patches. There are many (me included) who believe Camino to be THE best browser on OSX, hands down. Last month I posted that I've been doing experimental builds from the development trunk on a nightly basis. With this release build, I thought I'd give the standard product the same optimizations given my trunk builds. So here it is, a basic Camino 1.0.3 build for Intel machines only. This is NOT a universal binary, as the 9MB file size should tell you. You can read my .mozconfig file from the site to see what got tweaked. This build, as do my others, have a non-gradient unified look bookmarks toolbar, and a "(jcraig)" identifier in the user agent. Download either build, or the .mozconfig, by clicking on the logo below, and please leave comments on your experiences or thoughts on this project. This is not a secret, pass the word!

Intel Camino i686 -O2 -fast etc.

Coming soon, my thoughts on this past week's big announcements, and some other news that's been floating around. Have you read about the 8-core Mac Pro? See you next time.
