Phoenix 0.2 Released

[Agent31]

Phoenix 0.3 even lighter, even MORE customisable, ye gods! how are they doing this??

Will the wonders of computers will never cease?!

edit: like Wombat says down the bottom... good news for those of us with our online banking... plus, the site icons now appear in the personal tool bar

I LOVE this browser!

Another one for the 486...

[Agent31]

why only the for the 486? (unless you're a die-hard for the "advanced" options tab)

I just installed Phoenix 0.3. And the release notes say that 0.4 is scheduled for next week. Yikes!

[thop]

if they keep putting out new versions like that i might have to switch from http://www.beonex.com

0.3 has a couple bug fixes, but is mostly feature additions. Now the "no popup" option has a whitelist, so you can allow certain sites to have them. Good news for me and my online banking.

Hurrah for 0.3 ... "are ye angels?" ... "no, we are but men!"

Phoenix 0.3 is running really nice here. Didn't like the 0.1, but the 0.3 is nice.
(Unfortunately I'm using the Mozilla email client, so I guess I'll keep using Mozilla instead of Phoenix - a Phoenix version with email would be nice...)

[Wombat]

Not <I>with</I> e-mail. That's the whole point is to make a tool optimized for the job, without the entire "suite" riding along.
The Phoenix team has already said that once they get to 0.5 they will also start working on Minotaur, which is a Phoenix-like standalone of the Mozilla mail client.

[The PIT]

Chugs a bit when I tried it.

[Indiana]

The thing is, I don't want to use two seperate programs for this. This is the whole point for me using the Mozilla client over other programs. The email client might as well be very basic for me (I'm sure this would not make startup-times much longer or the archive-size that much bigger).

I just like to just start Mozilla and while surfing being instantly noticed if I get mail - without the need to start half a dozen of seperate apps and having to close them again afterwards.

I'm quite sure that the other integrated things like newsreader, IRC and especially the stupid composer thing are much more responsible for the size of the Mozilla archive.

[Agent31]

Fair shout... however I suspect that Phoenix and Minotaur will be aware of one another and might integrate to some extent...
