Here it goes:
Smooth Scrolling was disabled when I installed this build (I have no idea why, I did delete old build).
New Qute image (about which I am only slightly biased:)) in Preferences looks very nice ;)
Again - thanks for building, pryan.
Why would you even consider to use the OS that is older and more obsolete than your computer?
See, that's just one of the reasons why I pick Linux.

I like it - actually lack of it is one of things I don't like in Opera ;)

<i>Hhighlights from the bonsai link:</i>

<ul>
<li>Add a "Go to line" option to the Edit menu in View Source (<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104383">bug 104383</a>)</li>
<li>Quiet some silly warnings. (<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72164">bug 72164</a>)</li>
<li>default smooth scrolling to off until it works better (looks like asa changed that one)</li>
<li>Fix drag and drop to/from textarea and input (<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194802">bug 194802</a>)</li>
<li>remove event listeners when needed, which fixes practically all known memory leaks and gets us a step closer to IE compatibility (<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204545">bug 204545</a>)</li>
<li>Make 'match only previously typed sites' autocomplete pref work properly. (<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200004">bug 200004</a>) <b>HOPE!</b></li>
<li>use an updated preview image that's the same size as the one we had before. (<a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/skin/win/Preview.png?raw=1">image</a> (save as -- bad MIME type))</li>
<li>Fix PNG crasher/hang. The problem is due to a the casting of float to int/unsigned. (<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200801">bug 200801</a>)</li>
</ul>

I wish people would summarize things like this for me for each nightly. :)

Pryan I have a question, how is it possible that your exe file is so small? Just curious...
Because who needs zip of you have exe?


Yep, I am using 7-Zip to create a self-extracting executable. It's nice, isn't it?

Wow, thanks for the summary, Simplex, I wish there was a nice summary for each build like that too. :)

Somebody did. :-) MozillaNews.org has a Bonsai Watch page where you can even flag bugs you find important for other users.

This is a great build - no talkback - the main exe file is a MB smaller - keep up the good work Pat.

Opera has smooth scrolling. To enable it up "Smooth Scrolling=1" in the Opera6.ini file inside the profile folder. It should be under the User Prefs section.

No Yahoo dropdown crashes

I've been grumbling about an instant crash when using date dropdowns to obtain Historical Prices for stocks in finance.yahoo.com. Doesn't happen here! :)
