[FX] bangbang023: 07-01-30 [Trunk/Win32](O2/GAL)


Recommended Posts

There hasn't been any activity on merging the aviary brunk to the trunk because the trunk was on freeze for moz 1.8 a5 release. The planned window for the merge opened today/yesterday with the mozilla release. The idea is to be done with the merging and required regression fixing by the mozilla 1.8a6 freeze, which happens on Wednesday, January 05, 2005 2:59:00 AM

Not sure this is the best place.. but what's the difference between mozila 1.8xx and Firefox, besides it being a multi purpose browser (meaning email and all in one)?? Is it ahead of Firefox behind or basicly the same except more programs rolled into one?

bangbang, its the first time i have used this, i have been looking at this pretty much since it started but always looked a bit complicated for some strange reason. I just downloaded it and see a vast improvement. Will be looking forward to the next builds. By the way, can i unistall FireFox 1 and keep this? but obviously transfer my profile over...

As far as the engine goes, Mozilla 1.8 is ahead of Fx a little bit. Nothing too major, yet.

Yes, you can get rid of the stock Firefox and just use my builds. Thanks for giving them a try.

Thanks again for the support. guys. Seeing more mature users really encourages me to wait out this period of no builds until the branches merge and not leave because of a few ignorant fan boys.

That's good to hear. You have a dedicated user base. I know I'm still using your build.

bangbang, any comments on stability/usability of this build?

Runs pretty well. You will have to clear out your program directory (not the profile directory) and then extract this build.

Can it be used like your last builds was.. along side the latest public release of FireFox.. ie 1.0? I ask cause I installed a trunk version once and had to remove it as it made all versions of FireFox not work. Fact I had to remove them all and reinstall them all (except the trunk, of course). But my Profile was ok.

No, the trunk makes changes to the profile that 1.0 final and any other aviary installs don't like. Sorry guys.

Which is why you can never backup too often. :) But, I can say that so far, I haven't seen a major show-stopper with this build.

lol no wonder, i was trying to compile my own build i thought i was doing sometihng wrong because it wasnt compiling :rofl:

well, it should still compile fine. What are you using to build it?

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
