Camino 1.0 RC 1 available

Michael Hendy from Mozilla PluginDoc told us Camino 1.0 Release Candidate 1 is now available, and Camino 1.0 (final) should be available soon. Camino 1.0 RC 1 is built in Universal Binary, which means it will run natively on both PowerPC and Intel based Macs.

The Camino 1.0 Release Candidate 1 ReadMe file said:

It is a high-quality pre-release that demonstrates what we expect to release as Camino 1.0 shortly. This latest version fixes hundreds of bugs and implements many new features, providing all users with an improved browsing experience.

Known Issues

• Microsoft's Windows Media Player (WMP) plugin causes major rendering issues in Camino. Since Microsoft has discontinued WMP on Mac OS X, Camino no longer supports the use of the WMP plugin; instead, all users should download the free Flip4Mac (F4M) plugin, version 2.0.1 or higher, from http://www.flip4mac.com/. Version 2.0.1 displays some WMP content off-center in Camino; this will be fixed in the next maintenance release of the F4M plugin.
• Although typing performance has improved in Camino 1.0, typing in form fields can be slow when Flash or animated images are present. Turning off animations can improve performance in some cases.
• Shockwave Director content displays at the wrong location in the browser window when hardwre rendering is enabled. Switch the plugin to software rendering to solve this.
• Due to a bug in Mac OS X 10.2.x and 10.3.x, Norwegian users of the Camino Multilingual edition will need to manually select their desired user interface language and manually set their 'accept-language' string. To make Camino Multilingual run in Nynorsk or Bokmål, select Camino Multilingual in the Finder and choose "Get Info" from the File menu. In the resulting window, click the triangle next to "Languages:" and uncheck every language except the one desired as Camino's UI language.

  To set the accept-language string, add the string user_pref("camino.accept_languages", "nb,nn,no,en"); to your [http://www-stage.caminobrowser.org/support/hiddenprefs/ user.js file], where the languages are listed in the order in which you'd prefer them if a server can send content in multiple languages. (In this example, you want Bokmål first, then Nynorsk, then generic Norwegian, then English if none of the other three languages are available.) You may now launch Camino.

  Apple fixed this bug in Mac OS X 10.4, so no work-arounds are necessary.
