Mozilla has just updated the Firefox development roadmap to reflect a decision on the next major release of the popular open-source browser. The non-profit foundation has decided to increase the version number of the next major release to 1.5 from 1.1, reflecting the sheer number of bug fixes and features that have been worked into the next version of the browser. Mozilla still plans to ship the next version of Firefox (now Firefox 1.5: "Deer Park") around September of this year:
- Firefox 1.4: Beta release in August 2005
Feature Complete general public preview release
- Firefox 1.5: Milestone Release
New Gecko, ongoing HIG compliance, software update system and extension manager improvements
