Mozilla 1.0 Released

WinInfo | at | by Mike

After over four years of development, the open source browser suite project dubbed Mozilla has reached its first major release. Mozilla 1.0 is based on the Gecko rendering engine, which provides the display technology behind the suite's Navigator Web browser, Mail & Newsgroup client, IRC Chat client, Composer HTML editor, and Address Book. But the real promise behind the software is that its open, componentized design can be used as the basis for other products, including the next version of Netscape's browser suite. And it runs on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OS (classic), Mac OS X, and others.
