Feeling better?

Does today's include the print patch?

Yes, besides a cough, I'm good now. No, it doesn't include the print patch. For some unexplainable reason, it also broke something entirely different and I didn't want to risk functionality loss.

hey bangbang, why do you update daily?

um because there are daily updates.

These are nightly builds in case you didn't know, not release builds. They are the very latest code and are not gauranteed to be stable, there are usually things broken.

umm, that is incorrect. If firefox didn't make an "unstable" build, they wouldn't release it to the public without having it being tested first. Since there is nightly builds... they are stable, and whatever is tweaked, is tested before posting (Y). they have a full 24 hours to test it out before launching a nightly build.

Sorry man, but flightmike1 was right. The nightly builds are often plagued with severe issues, especially early on in a branch merging. They do not spend the entire 24 hours testing a build. They simply compile it and, if it completes, they upload it. They may smoke test them, to some degree, but I'm not 100% on that.

Well, BangBang, I haven't got the slightest idea what you're actually doing here but it seems you're making a significant contribution to the Neowin community so I want to thank you for that. Since I haven't heard of SSE2 I'm doubting my processor supports it (Athlon XP) but thanks all the same for doing whatever it is you're doing!

Thank you XenonicRob. Basically, I optimize the code base to run more quickly on systems that support the SSE2 instruction set. Your processor does not support it, unfortunately. While I don't contribute to the Fx world as many other do, I hope my builds so help out some people, at least.

Well if you say that, and you release build every day (apart from some off days) who does more then that?? lol :huh:

Guys like mmoy or guys who submit patches that get used in the official code. I'm a builder, but the coders do a lot more work than I.
