Mozilla 1.3 Final is Out

and available for download. Here are the release notes. What's new in Mozilla 1.3?

  • Mozilla Mail has junk-mail classification. With some initial "training" the client can identify and segregate spam messages from good messages. To see more about Mozilla's junk-mail classification, visit the Mozilla Spam Filtering page.
  • Newsgroup filters have been implemented.
  • An initial implementation of Mozilla Midas, rich text editing controls, has landed in Mozilla for 1.3. See the Midas page for more information.
  • Image auto sizing allows a user to toggle between full-sized images and images sized to fit the browser window. To give it a try, load a large image into the browser window or size the window to be much smaller. Now clicking on the image will alternate between auto-sized and full-sized. The feature can be disabled (or enabled) from the Appearance panel in Preferences.
  • Users can now "dynamically" switch profiles. To give it a try, from the tools menu select "Switch Profile..."
  • Find as you type, formerly known as type ahead find, has a new preferences panel (Advanced: Keyboard Navigation).
    When installed, Chatzilla now has a normal Mozilla preferences panel.
  • Mozilla 1.3 also includes fixes for performance, standards compliance and site compatibility.

We downloaded a copy and used it for several hours with no problems. [Dana Baggett]
