Camino 2.0 Beta 3

Known Issues

• Delete no longer functions as a keyboard shortcut for Back.
• Scroll bars will appear active at all times.
• If “Ask me before accepting each cookie” is checked, Camino will display a cookie dialog for each cookie request from a web page.
• Camino no longer supports Shockwave Player 10 and older; to display Shockwave content, install Shockwave Player 11 or newer.
• Version 2.2 of the Flip4Mac (F4M) plug-in for displaying Windows Media content causes major rendering issues in Camino. The Flip4Mac team has fixed this problem in version 2.2.1.11 of the plug-in.
• After visiting enough pages with Flash content while browsing, Camino may stop functioning correctly. Quitting and re-launching Camino will resolve the problem. This behavior is caused by a bug in the Flash plug-in and is fixed in version 10.0 of the plug-in.
• Some versions of the third-party add-on 1Password are not compatible with Camino. These versions can cause Camino to crash on launch, hang when importing bookmarks, and hang when pasting into the location bar. Make sure that you are running the latest version of 1Password, and if you continue to experience issues, disable 1Password’s integration with Camino and contact 1Password support.

Note: Before using this beta version of Camino, create a backup copy of your profile folder (~/Library/Application Support/Camino/).

The following major features have been added to Camino 2.0 Alpha 1 and will be in Camino 2 when it is released. The full release notes are also available.

Note: Some of these features are not yet completely implemented.

• Requires Mac OS X 10.4: Camino 2.0 Alpha 1 now requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.
• Tab Overview: The tab overview feature, accessed from the Window menu, displays a thumbnail grid of all tabs in the current window.
• Recently Closed Pages: The History menu now contains a sub-menu listing the last 20 closed web pages.
• Complete Keyboard Loop: The keyboard loop in the main browser window has been completely rewritten, bringing keyboard access to the tab bar, the pop-up blocker, and the Find bar. The new keyboard loop also fixes most of the bugs that existed in the main browser window’s keyboard loop.
• Full Content Zoom: This new zoom behavior adds the ability to scale up or down the entire content of a web page instead of just increasing or decreasing the text size. The default behavior of the ⌘= and ⌘- shortcuts is now full content zoom, and increasing or decreasing text size can now be accessed with the ⌘⌥= and ⌘⌥- shortcuts.
• Gecko 1.9: Camino now uses version 1.9 of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine. This version includes a new graphics architecture based on Quartz, which delivers better compatibility with popular plug-ins and significant improvements in Flash performance. Gecko 1.9 also has enhanced support for web standards, improved handling of fonts and languages, and improved support for author styles on form controls.
