Upcoming Firefox release changed from 3.1 to 3.5
Mozilla has announced that the latest version of its Firefox browser will be changed from 3.1 to 3.5, and that the fourth beta will be published on 14 April.
"The version number of the Shiretoko project will be changed to Firefox 3.5 before the upcoming fourth beta release," wrote Mike Beltzner, Mozilla's director of Firefox, on the Mozilla developer blog.
"Add-on developers should stay tuned for announcements about what this means for their extensions and themes hosted on addons.mozilla.org. We expect to be able to do this with a minimum of inconvenience to our community."
The change in name from 3.1 to 3.5 was first proposed last week to recognise "the sheer volume of work which makes Shiretoko feel like much more than a small, incremental improvement over Firefox 3", according to Beltzner.
Enhancements include better user control over data privacy, improved web layout and rendering, and the TraceMonkey JavaScript compiler.
Mozilla posted the 3.0.7 update of its Firefox 3 browser only last week, promising multiple security patches and stability fixes. The five security fixes included three which addressed flaws rated as 'critical' by Mozilla.
