Camino 1.0 Released!

Designed exclusively for Mac OS X, Camino 1.0 is built on Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine and offers one of the fastest browsing experiences available.

Some of the new features include the following:

• New tab bar appearance
• Pause and resume for downloads
• Annoyance blocking (advertisements, pop-ups, and more)
• Enhanced security via certificate support
• Bundled Java Embedding Plugin for improved Java performance
• Form fill from Address Book (using the menu item or optional toolbar icon)

• Inline searching of history and bookmarks
• Upgraded the Gecko rendering engine (from 1.7 to 1.8), resulting in performance, stability, and rendering improvements

In addition, Camino is now a universal binary. For more information, see the release notes.

• Danish
• Dutch
• English (GB)
• French

• German (DE)
• Italian
• Japanese
• Polish
• Portuguese (BR)

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 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 hardware rendering is enabled. Switch the plugin to software rendering to solve this.
• Java applets on some web pages may crash on Mac OS X 10.4 in certain configurations. This can happen after a system update fails to fully upgrade all components of the system. If you experience crashes on pages that use Java applets, apply or reapply the latest “combo update” from Apple to ensure that your system is up to date.
• 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 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.

El Camino 1.0, 1959

[Dont Mention the War]

Although typing performance has improved in Camino 1.0, typing in form fields can be slow when Flash or animated images are present.

I'm glad it's improved (0.9 was not merely "slow" but largely unusable in many cases because of this issue), but why does it have this problem in the first place?

Ghod, I love FR...

[null and void]

Dunno. I just use it...

:)

(1959 was the first year the El Camino was built, for those playing along at home)

Would you take that car on a Safari?

I've lost my bookmarks for the LAST time using camino. Camino has eventually blown away my bookmarks on EVERY machine I've ever used it on. I've switched to a combo of safari and firefox now. It's a shame, because I really enjoyed camino otherwise.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I'm waiting for future upgrades before I load it on my box.

Kewl! A Tripod Box...

[null and void]

Well, I've been using Camino 1.0 for almost an hour, and haven't lost any bookmarks...

[Constitution Day]

Of course not.

You'll need a Pontiac for that:

[null and void]

LOL!

[Constitution Day]

My work here is done. ;^)

[PackerBronco]

Camino, huh?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Man! I hate it when I don't check the URL and get pimped by those a$$es at Tripod.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

How's this?

or even this???

[SengirV]

When I say "lost my bookmarks" I mean after months of use. The most recent time was using version 1.0b2 I've had a strange error message and had hte bookmarks disappear now with verison .7 .8 and now 1.0 So Camino is now dead to me - Which is sad, since I have been singing their praises for a long time now.
