Opera Playground

Well, as announced earlier, Firefox 1.5.x series lost official support today.

Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.

I use 2.0.x on Windows box, but still have 1.5.x on Linux. Fedora Core 6, the latest public distribution from Fedora project, offer 1.5.x as their key application. They offer rpm package of Firefox 2.0.x only at Development repository. So we can get it and use it with related, dependent packages like Epiphany or Galeon.
Fedora project will offer security patches in the future, if they need them, for 1.5.x of Firefox. Fedora is Linux, so its use is by one's own risks, OK.

What about Windows users? There seems to be quite a lot of Windows 95/98/Me users out there. As far as I know, on those Windows, 2.x or above Firefox doesn't work as expected. Some may invent tricks, and will make it work there, in the real world, though there might be no official support.

[Edit] On very close to the end day, they offered the announcement that it will extend to the mid of the next month. Confused!

I've read a blog entry written in Japanese, his/her friend's Opera 9.00 Windows is not build 8501, but 8502
So I went to see ftp of Opera. The below is the results.

[4096 Jun 23 8:41] win/900/int

Is there any changelog?

In the first morning of 2006, yes, we, Japanese are 9 hours ahead of UTC, I read the article via digg, titled as Microsoft Employees Rage As Internet Explorer Ship Sinks.

Those are not written by Opera-employees, but MS employees and partisans.

Happy New Year to all:sing:
