Late Thursday, the Camino Project released version 1.6 of Camino, its free, open source web browser.

The new version, a 14.9 megabyte download, adds the following fixes and changes:
-Automatic software updates - Camino now checks for new releases automatically.
-Improved tabbed browsing - When more tabs are open than can be displayed in the tab bar, arrows appear at the right and left edges to allow scrolling the bar. As part of this change, the tab overflow menu has been replaced by a menu displaying all open tabs in the current window.
-Keychain compatibility - Camino can now store information in the Keychain for multiple accounts at the same site.
-Improved toolbar search - The search field in the toolbar now includes a simple editor that allows deleting, renaming, and reordering search engines. Camino now supports OpenSearch search engine plug-ins. New search engines can be added to the toolbar’s search field by automatic discovery or by web pages that provide links to OpenSearch plug-ins.
-Streamlined Find interface - The Find panel has been replaced by a Find toolbar that appears near the bottom of the browser window.
-Enhanced AppleScript capabilities - AppleScripts can now refer to individual tabs and windows. It is now possible to add, open, and delete bookmarks via AppleScript.
-Camino now supports custom toolbar items written in AppleScript.
-Additional feed reader options - Camino can now pass feeds to certain web-based feed readers.
-User interface polish - Camino 1.6 includes a number of new toolbar icons and interface enhancements to fit more closely with the visual style of Mac OS X 10.5.

Camino requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later to run.
