CGar Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Better late and fixed than shipped broken.

They're finding bugs, working out how severe they are, and fixing them or putting them back until the next beta.

Kirkburn Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Of the two open issues, one may already be fixed by a backout, and the other has a potential fix. So don't get too depressed. (And remember, just because this list feels static, doesn't mean development is: it's going on all the time in the background on non-blocking bugs) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/136/#findComment-593490268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And remember, just because this list feels static, doesn't mean development is: it's going on all the time in the background on non-blocking bugs) back to zero again :laugh: honestly though i wish firefox had a development schedule like google chrome or opera because they would have been done with 4.0 by now. i wouldnt have a problem if they were getting the release candidate out in january because thats only a month away but that appears to not be likely since there are still 2 more betas after beta 8 comes out. so i am frustrated a bit with there development cycle. note: there has been some movement it looks like on creating the beta 8 builds because this page is now live: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_4.0b8/BuildNotes Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/136/#findComment-593490968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read somewhere that there have been over 1500 bugs fixed since Beta 7, so there's a lot going on. It's mostly behind the scenes, though, so we don't notice most of it.

aznkid25 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 If the bugs aren't that big, why can't they just wait until beta 9 to fix them? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/136/#findComment-593492062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattburles Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 the first release candidate build of firefox beta 8 is now available through mozilla ftp server: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b8-candidates/build1/ this wont be the final version of beta 8 (QA will need a week to make sure everything is a go and that no new blockers pop up) i am guessing we will see beta 8 next tuesday than if no new problems occur.

Nice find. Looks like they are in the process of uploading them, starting with linux. Hopefully we see the first build for windows in the next few hours.

Hopefully we see the first build for windows in the next few hours. most likely but i wouldnt be surprised if there is a build 2 or 3 of the release candidate before final version of beta 8 comes out. good news though :) work on the last 2 betas begins! than release candidate. its gonna be a long wake for the final though. 620 bugs remaining (16 ready to land) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/136/#findComment-593492180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznkid25 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 What is the difference between a signed, & unsigned build? Here's the first beta 8 build for windows. It's unsigned though: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b8-candidates/build1/unsigned/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%204.0%20Beta%208.exe Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/136/#findComment-593492246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unsigned though: ftp://ftp.mozilla.or...%20Beta%208.exe I'm assuming it means it's not digitally signed, meaning you'll get a prompt telling you that you're installing a program from an unknown publisher.
