Firefox 1.5 will be out today

[GuidZilla]

Well this thread just took a odd twist.

I hate to rain on this parade, but today is certainly not the projected final release date.  I'm not sure where supernova_00 is basing his information on, but we are currently planning on shipping an RC3 later this week, and we have not set a final ship date at this time.  There are a number of fixes that have landed post-RC2 and need more extensive testing before we certify and ship final.

When we are ready to ship 1.5 final it will be communicated clearly to all parties in advance of the actual release date.

Thought it seemed a little early, but I haven't kept up with Firefox development as much these days (school takes plenty of time). Thanks for the clarification.

So is the incorrect announcement of Firefox 1.5's release going to be removed from the front page or what?

[DomZ]

pwned

[TwoTailedFox]

Supernova, please find a nice convenient rock, and go hide under it ;)

I've saved the article as it is now in PDF Format, for archival purposes ;)

funny thing is we can place bets on how long the news article will remain on the font page and how many people will accidentally install a nightly because of it.

[inVision]

Ah cmon... everybody makes a mistake!

[mattmatik]

:laugh:

Nice.

[CrisCr0ss]

wow someone take this off the NEWS as im pretty sure trusts neowin as a well known news source and here we have incorrect information.. PPL RC3 is expected not Final..

Well, it darn well should be - keeping incorrect information up like that shoots whatever cred Neowin.net has left right down the toilet!! :angry:

Yeah, mconnor was the real mconnor, I'm currently watching a discussion on irc.mozilla.org.

If 1.5 Final is

ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2005-11-14-04-mozilla1.8/

Then why not use

ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2005-11-15-04-mozilla1.8

It being much more a recent build?

20051114=November 14, 2005 :blink: That was just yesterday, so how much more recent do you want the build to be?

Well, just figured it would be made final/released before a following nightly.

[Rablet]

what is this, is it an actual update, this really confuses me......  can someone explain to the normal people :rolleyes:

1.5 is NOT released and won't be for at least a week, according to mscott.

[greg098]

So it will not be released today? If so, why does Neowin say it is on the main page?

No, it will not be released today. The news-post will probably be pulled in a few minutes... (It should have been pulled already :unsure: )
