Gecko 2.0.0, Schedule Unknown [edit]
Plans for work on Gecko 2's Mac OS X support have not been finalized. The following items are being considered, this list is not complete or final. The schedule for Gecko 2.0 is very unclear at this point, but it will most likely not ship until at least Q1 2009.
- Add support for x86-64. The Gecko 2.0 development cycle is a great time to start this architecture work, we will certainly ship x86-64 by default eventually. This is the direction Apple is going in whatever the timeframe for that transition is.
- Rewrite printing dialog code in Cocoa, get rid of Carbon impl.
- Drop support for PowerPC processors.
- Drop support for Mac OS X 10.4.
Gecko 1.9.1, Approximately Q1 2009 [edit]
- Decomtaminate native menu implementation.
- Add support for NPAPI Cocoa event model.
- Port Default plugin to CoreGraphics.
- Implement a widget testing framework.
- Further look and feel improvements.
Gecko 1.9.0, Q2 2008 [edit]
Firefox 3.0 is where the big stuff happens. Firefox will use cocoa widgets, becoming a Cocoa-based application. It will draw using CoreGraphics via Cairo. Plugins have the option of using new CoreGraphics support in NPAPI. Gecko 1.9 will be the first version of Gecko to support native form controls in HTML content on Mac OS X.
Gecko 1.8.1, Q3 2006 [edit]
Gecko 1.8.1 contains a good number of Mac OS X look-and-feel fixes, making the Firefox 2 much more Mac-like in general. Also, the browser should feel snappier. Everything is incremental improvements to the Firefox 1.5.0.x code. Gecko 1.8.1 is the last major release using Carbon widgets.
