Firefox 1.5 will be released today. Most localized builds are ready. Just waiting on 3 server side fixes, release notes, start page redirect and addons.mozilla.org links for extensions to get more info. All easy fixes, then upload the builds and then trigger auto update. Remember could take up to 24 hours until your firefox checks for updates (only Firefox 1.5 beta 2, rc1 and rc2 users)...so manually go to Help->Check for updates.

Check here for release:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5/

once this folder is created, release will be within two hours or so.

or a few hours after these are fixed.

If you are on 1.0.X you will get the notification button in the toolbar and you will have to do the full update. Just like how the security updates are from like 1.0.6 to 1.0.7...which really sucks. But after you guys get 1.5 you won't have to worry about that and firefox will get updated a hell of a lot more. Security fixes within hours via binary patching...also same for releases.

oh ok, in that case firefox checks for an update every 24 hours. now depending on how you have you settings in options menu, firefox could check tomorrow morning, download 1.5, and on next restart update. or you could get notification that update is out, ask what you want to do, then so on. so it depends on your settings.

Can i have a download link for firefox RC2 and can i just do an update or have i got to transfere settings ect?

Uninstall firefox first (your profile will be fine) and install 1.5rc2. Becuase updating from 1.0.7 to 1.5 becuase of the way 1.0.x updates will do the same thing.

Excellent, coolbeans (Y)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
