The Termination Version Number In Firefox -2

For companies has been put on the table. On this point Dotzler explains that the emphasis is on the home user ("the individual") in defining the evolution of the interface. While another (and new) group, seconded that thought process, liaising with the companies. But then how to know if you have the latest version of the browser? Instead of a number, the about window will display a message such as "Firefox has verified the presence of an updated X minutes ago, you use the latest version". Information that was already in applications with a search feature updates. And if the connection is not present, not allowing any audit, the browser could then display its number or, more likely, indicate how long he could not confirm the existence of a review. This principle no longer rely on the version number is also in the sense of a mode in which the browser receives updates say silent, taking place in the background without the user's initiative. The latest iterations of Firefox will update in seconds with just one application restart to complete the transaction Mozilla's policy with its new round of rapid development is to get users to update as regularly as possible. From there, it is likely that the concept becomes more abstract version. We see it with Chrome, launched three years ago, its output at a steady pace took him for quite a while with two-digit numbers (the 15 is in development ...)! Firefox follows this example, the six arrived June 16 and 9 (most distant at present) should be completed by the end of the year. It was not specified in the conversation when the new policy will be applied. In versions 7, 8 and 9 in preparation, there is still a mix between the version number and build date.

The Termination Version Number In Firefox -1

Mozilla plans to do a lot with version numbers for Firefox. This decision is subject to fairly sharp exchanges in the forums of the foundation are to remove almost completely any reference to the encrypted version of the software, including the inevitable about window. Already on the download page for development versions of Firefox there is no mention of their number, but their progress "Aurora" for alpha and "Beta" for the latest. This principle should also apply to the general download page for final drafts. On older versions of Firefox, such as 3, it was instead the specific details of the version number to the Gecko rendering engine. With 5 and 6 for example have all been cleaned for much. To justify this decision was endorsed with the teams of the user interface and is being set up, As a Dotzler at Mozilla, said he is heading to the prevailing principle with Web applications that use always the latest version, without asking more questions. "Which version of Gmail do you use?" he starts at a time to an opponent to support his argument that the version of software tools no longer necessarily the value given him so far. What a user has countered that, unlike a remote Internet service, he had his hand on locally installed software on his machine. Not to mention about some situations where this information is useful if not essential (eg technical assistance or any problems of compatibility with third-party software). To these critics Dotzler said consistently that the number, in case of real need, would in any case submitted through the Help menu> troubleshooting information. And for web developers who want their eyes, extensions are available for display in the title bar of the browser.

Scroll Reverser refines the direction of travel in OS X Lion

Lion OS X changes the direction of travel by default as of IOS; we slide the finger up to go down, and down to go up. This decision failed at first, but you soon ... at least on a trackpad. With a mouse, the gesture is less clear, and if Apple has provided two options, one for the trackpad and one for the mouse, a bug that persists in OS X 10.7.1 to prevent two different choices. If you set the trackpad scrolling natural mouse will also adopt this behavior, whatever you do. Scroll Reverser (200 KB) originally allowed activating the scroll Natural Snow Leopard, to facilitate the transition. The small free utility functions nevertheless won since its first release and is now very useful also in Leo, especially if you use a trackpad sometimes, sometimes a mouse. Scroll Reverser makes first (un) natural temporarily activate the scrolling. Better still, it is able to do what Apple does not: enable it for certain types of devices only. This will be used with a trackpad, but not with a mouse, for example. Another option offered by Scroll Reverse: you can activate the natural scroll vertically but not horizontally. The current version does not, however, the intersection of the two options (natural horizontal scrolling trackpad for example). These options also work for the two-finger scrolling, not three or more fingers.
