New release candidate of Firefox 3.5: surprisingly, the version arrives today RC2 of Firefox 3.5, also in Italian.
Immediately promoted to a full product, this new version has not gone through the testing phase that Firefox 3.5 RC1 was launched for.
Version 2’s task is to fix critical bugs, and although it is a beta, those who decide to try it should know that RC2 will install stably on Firefox 3.0.
Greater stability and a 30% increase in speed are the substantial innovations of this second release, which does not differ in other aspects from the first version.
For completeness, here are the main features of Firefox 3.5 RC2:
Some of the new features of Firefox 3.5 RC2:
– available in over 70 languages;
– improved personal data management, including an incognito browsing mode;
– improved application performance and stability, thanks to the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine;
– support for geolocation standards;
– Native JSON support and support for web worker threads;
– Improvements to the Gecko rendering engine, including a “speculative” parsing system to reduce page rendering times;
– Support for new web technologies such as: HTML5 video and audio elements, downloadable fonts, and other new CSS properties, support for query selectors in JavaScript, HTML5 offline data storage, and SVG transformations.
Given this surprise move, it appears more plausible that RC2 is a candidate for official release rather than its predecessor RC1; what is certain is that the launch of the final version of Firefox 3.5 is getting closer and closer.
