Warpzilla M17p3 preview binaries (Posted by Joerg Sievers) (js)

Henry Sobotka has made new binaries for the OS/2-Mozilla (called "Warpzilla") on Preview Build 17. Mozilla is the new platform-independent browser-generation which is also used by Netscape in version 6. What's new in this binaries:

- This release includes two fixes from IBMers that haven't yet been checked in:
Joseph Samake's rewrite of the locale code and Jeff Kobal's faster tiling (which provides a gain in speed/efficiency well worth the cost of an ephemeral minor transparency bug).

- The vicious webshell-spawning that triggered when trying to load a local text or nonexistent file with the last preview binaries is now gone.

-You can migrate your Communicator/2 profiles to Warpzilla. When you launch Profile Migration, it adds your 4.x profiles to the list of those available. The actual migration only occurs when you select one of the Comm/2 profiles. It doesn't alter the Comm/2 versions, just converts them to Warpzilla format and stores the results in the Users50 directory.

-Among other little improvements you may notice:

--The Software Installer works
--Icons have been added to Composer's tag view
--FTP directory listings show up and downloads work, although the tree interface takes a bit of getting used to
--Dates and times appear in mailnews listings
--Context menu mouse-selection is back.
