K-Meleon 1.1 Release
Date: May 22, 2007 08:08PM
Finally...
To our Russian users
There's a little bug in the Russian version of NewsFox that we're distributing (a pre-release of NewsFox 0.7). When you start NewsFox for the very first time, it will create its feed data base in your profile folder. At this point, the name of the overall FEEDS folder is not encoded and 'breaks' the data base.
Workaround:
Right when you start NewsFox for the first time, right-click the 'FEEDS' folder and choose 'Options...' from the menu. Close the opened dialog clicking 'OK'. This will avoid the problem.
When the problem is already present, simply set a new name for this folder.
This problem will be fixed in the final version of NewsFox 0.7. We will offer an update then. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Don't know how active Mozillazine still is but an announcement there would be warranted since 1.0 was also announced there.
I haven't been keeping up with development but I did download and install 1.1 and it's terrific. It continues to run circles around FF and IE in performance and I still prefer the "layers" toolbar to the tabs in FF and IE. Keep up the good work! It's good to see that the browser continues to keep moving forward.

Congrats Dorian!
There's plenty of work in there i'm sure!
Have been more of a Firefoxer for quite some time now but with this version that may well change.
Like amutch said, glad to know "the browser continues to keep moving forward."
Avoiding bloat and keeping it's pizzazz!

Mozillazine is as active as ever, or moreso (I'm a regular there). An announcement there would be a good idea. I had a feeling that it was time for a K-Meleon update, so I came here looking; but most users lack my psychic powers...

Hi All.
I've been using Kmeleon for the past 18 months and I am the most indecisive person you are ever likely to meet.
I started with IE6 then Firefox1.5,Netscape,Slimbrowser,Opera,Avant,Ace,Enigma,IE7,Firefox2, you get the picture? the list goes on and on.I had a few problems with my original kMeleon so I unninstalled and went back to IE7 and Firefox 2 which weren't that bad.
This morning I thought I would see how KMeleon was doing on the web and I was stunned, an update. I immediately downloaded Kmeleon 1.1,got it set up,used it,and WOW!!! what a change, even faster (which I didn't think was possible).
I dont do any of the real technical computer stuff I just browse the web, download programs, see how they go and thats about it.
I have tried every browser out there, and for my needs which is browsing and downloading, this latest version of K-Meleon knocks the spots off all of the rest.
At the moment my indecision is cured, I'm hooked again by K-Meleon.
My thanks to all who created it, I can now browse the web in peace not in frustration.

Long time no visit. I can't even remember how long I have been using KM. Since way before it was nearly no longer a going concern because the original developer(s) stopped working on it and the latest generation picked it up. Once again a good solid version of KM for the public. Thanks guys!

Turkish down adress?
Re: K-Meleon 1.1 Release

Now, there is no turkish build for K-Meleon, but it would be great to have one.
Perhaps you, if you know a little english and obviously turkish, and if you're ready to make the job.
We can help you, if needed.

It's always a pleasure to hear of you, Brian.
About the step forward ... well, without your great GRE's patches available, what other option do we had but a giant step forward?
;-)
Good luck on your adventure at the Air Force!

It's confusing having more than one Brian. I'm the Brian that goes by bst82551. I didn't release any patches or anything, but I did for a brief time help the community get access to the ftp server required to upload files to sourceforge. I also put a few tutorials up on the wiki and helped out on the forums for a while, but no software patches, unfortunately. That's our other Brian. Mhmm.
I've gotta get back to work now.

To our skinners
Please update your skins in the
KMeleonThemesWiki for use with K-Meleon 1.1. Some macro names (e.g. in the Privacy Bar) had to be changed and some tooltips were corrected. Please make sure that your skins are using the exact same toolbar names and button tooltips as the K-Meleon 1.1 default skins. This is essentially important to ensure that people who are using K-Meleon in a different language than English will get these strings translated.
Update Strategy
Use the toolbars.cfg of a K-Meleon 1.1 default skin (e.g. Phoenity) as a basis. Simply copy the toolbar definitions from there and then replace the bitmap definitions by your own ones. That's only Copy & Paste and it's done in two minutes.
Thanky you for your time and effort!
Re: K-Meleon 1.1 Release

To our macro coders
Please consider to convert the macros you submitted to the
old Macro Library into macro modules for use with K-Meleon 1.1. The conversion isn't really difficult and the new macro modules are much easier to install for our users.
Update Strategy
1) Take a look at the
new Macro Library and make yourself familiar with the
Macro Coding Guidelines.
2) Move your macros into their own *.kmm file and update your macros' names according to the guidelines.
3) When you're missing macros that were previously defined in the default macros.cfg of K-Meleon 1.0 (such as XUL), don't redefine them before you've examined main.kmm. Such macros are still available, they only have different names. Take the other K-Meleon 1.1 default modules as a reference, but
never call macros defined in other modules than main.kmm from your own modules - all *.kmm files except main.kmm are optional!
4) Write a new macro to integrate your macros into the browser's menus using the new setmenu() method. It's a bit tricky, but once you've understood the principle you'll notice that it's actually pretty easy.
If you get stuck, simply ask for help in the Development Forum (
not here in this thread). Don't wait for a FAQ - there will never be a FAQ without you asking questions!
Thanky you for your time and effort!
