After hearing no news on the delightful
Phoenix browser for many months, it is great to learn that Mozilla is ditching its large suite in favour of Phoenix and Phoenix-style programs. Learn more from
mozilla.org, and read commentary at
MozillaZine.
In the most radical change to the Mozilla project since the late 1998 decision to rewrite much of the code, mozilla.org today announced a major new roadmap proposal that will see Phoenix and Thunderbird (also known as Minotaur) becoming the focus of future development. According to the roadmap, 1.4 is likely to be the last milestone of the traditional Mozilla suite and the 1.4 branch will replace the 1.0 branch as the stable development path.
