Are the newest builds using the 1.7 beta mozilla render engine ?

hopefully they will be...

Mozilla 1.7 size and performance have improved dramatically with this release. When compared to Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7 Beta is 7% faster at startup, is 8% faster at window open time, has 9% faster pageloading times, and is 5% smaller in binary size.

I do believe it is 1.7b judging by "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040401 Firefox/0.8.0+ (BlueFyre)" I presume rv is revision or something and 1.7b ....

The 1.7b has been there for at least a few days (I see it in my 3/28 build) so presumably we already have it in this week's nightlies.
