Late Wednesday, the Camino Project released version 2.1.0 of Camino, its free, open source web browser.
The new version, an 18.5 megabyte download, adds the following fixes and changes:
Web content support:
– Camino now uses version 1.9.2 of Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, which contains thousands of bug fixes, enhanced support for web standards, and improved JavaScript performance.
– Enhanced location bar autocomplete
– A completely rewritten autocomplete now searches both bookmarks and history and matches against page titles as well as page URLs.
Changes to plug-in support:
– Camino now disables certain insecure or incompatible versions of common plug-ins.
– A new “Internet Plug-Ins” folder in the profile allows for Camino-only plug-ins.
– A new hidden preference allows disabling specific plug-ins.
– Camino no longer includes a Java plug-in; users who need to run Java applets should install Java Plug-In 2 or the Java Embedding Plugin, as appropriate for the version of Mac OS X in use.
Offline mode:
– New “Work Offline” and “Go Online” items in the “Camino” menu allow Camino to enter offline mode and provide a more useful experience when no network connection is available.
Status Bar:
– The status bar can now be hidden by choosing “Hide Status Bar” in “View” menu.
Camino requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run.
If you’ve tried the new version of Camino and have any kind of feedback about it, let us know.
One reply on “Camino updated to 2.1.0”
Why still use so old a Gecko engine? I remenberd orca browser use this engine teo years ago, but it has updated to 8.0.1 engine.
New engine renders pages more fast.
