The version numbers, by the way, are based on OS 9 releases. I think people will find the improvements noticeable, but no miracles should be expected from Classilla for awhile, and it still has a number of bugs.
#Browsers for mac os 8.6 update
This version is deliberately unfinished because there is no source for WaMCom anymore, so I assigned an arbitrary deadline of July 1st to myself to get an update out. If you forced me to say, I would call Classilla 9.0 roughly equivalent to Mozilla 1.6 (Firefox 1.0), but there are some bugs in Classilla that Firefox 1 does not have, and conversely some patches from as late as Moz 1.8 (FF 1.5) are also landed, so it is really a distinct engine despite its origins. Because Classilla no longer corresponds to a particular Mozilla release despite being based almost completely on Mozilla code, it uses its own layout track named Clecko (instead of Gecko). Mac WaMCom was based on Mozilla 1.3.1, after which OS 9 support ended. It updates the layout engine and fixes several core bugs, and for the next version it will have JavaScript updates as well (right now the JS is at best basic, though much quicker than InScript in iCab). He graciously replied and provided some clarifications:Įssentially, Classilla is an update to Mac WaMCom (but you can’t download it from there anymore - see the googlecode site to get it if you want to play with it). A brief FAQ is available here.įor more information, I decided to go to the source and write to Cameron Kaiser, the mind behind the project. Classilla is a modern browser that should run on Mac OS 8.6-9.2.2. Tomorrow, July 1, 2009, Classilla will be released. Well, it’s new but has a long history behind.
