– Camino now has support for making the entire contents of a web page bigger or smaller.

Download notifications:
– If Growl is installed, Camino will generate notifications when downloads begin and finish.

– On Mac OS X 10.5 and higher, Camino will bounce the downloads folder in the Dock when a download finishes.

Recently closed pages:
-The History menu now contains a sub-menu listing the last 20 closed web pages.

Improved support for Full Keyboard Access:
– When Full Keyboard Access is enabled, tabbing now moves correctly through the entire browser window.

Enhanced annoyance blocking:
– Camino now includes an exceptions list to allow disabling “Block Flash animations” on a per-site basis and an “Allow Flash From This Site” contextual menu item to ease adding sites to the exceptions list.

New AppleScript capabilities:
– AppleScripts can now obtain the HTML source or text of an entire web page or of a selection.

– Added AppleScript support for setting the active tab in each browser window.

Web content support:
– Camino now uses version 1.9.0 of Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, which contains thousands of bug fixes, better web plug-in compatibility and performance, enhanced support for web standards, and new technologies like JavaScript 1.8.

Camino requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run.

Been using 2.0 since its late-Wed. release and no issues to report…. Seems “better” than 1.6.
