QuickFox on BeBits?

Anyone know about this firefox variant? This makes at least a 4th BeOS firefox variant: the CVS build, bleeding edge, Zeta and now QuickFox. Where will it end? And more importantly, can the people working on them dedicate some time to cleaning up some of the outstanding bugs? C'mon, I bet Mr. X is reading this... :)

Of all the other Firefox entries this one is actually a bit better as it's original, not just a CVS build, and it doesn't even use Firefox in it's name. I like people working on Firefox, and if they do interesting stuff they need a way to show it.

The project sounds 'insane' though (in a cool way).

that's strange

As far as i met Mr X at beshare, he isn't even advanced user - he was frequently confused with most primitive things in computer use.
Not to say about programming.
Aslo he promotes JAVA speed in his "build". Heh.

But maybe I'm wrong

The problem is that we are not provided a *stable* version (1.0.x) as others systems. Always border line builds... so almost localizations and extentions are not usable :-(

also, IMHO, bezilla.org should centralized the releases from the team (CVS one for beta test, stable one for every day uses).

I build from CVS because it's what I know how to do. If we need it and if someone would educate me as to how to pull the code for a particular release, building another variant would be no problem. I have lots of disk space, a fast IP connection and a quick CPU. I'm young, rich, handsome, and I exaggerate, too. ;)

OSNews

It seems like the Quickfox build is mentioned on OSNews. I did feel the urge to <a href="comment on the item though, especially since in the description of his build, there's the line <i>'My very much halfdone rewritten NSPR. (Netscape Portable Runtime).Should be as good or better as the old one though'</i>, which sounds a lot like your code, tqh (especially since quickfox only runs on BONE). I just noticed you posted as well :-)

Re: OSNews

Yes, the Mr X did seem quite happy to cite all the changes we've been working to develop and commit to CVS. I was a bit bothered by that when I read the Quickfox writeup on Bebits. That's why I started this thread - I didn't know whether or not my concerns were valid.

Re: OSNews

Well, I don't think we should worry to much. I know he is using tqh's work as his own, but I don't think it's worth starting a ruckus over this. We'll release our own Firefox 1.5, try to support it and have a nice time.
