-O2 also includes -GF, so you don't need to specify it.

Alright thanks for that, I was wondering why no one was using -Oi anymore.

TierMann and I were up last night trying to get our build scripts fully automated.. and well, we suceeded! :) with 5% of my help we were able to get everything accomplished up to uploading by itself. So what does this mean for you? You get your builds faster. Also check out TierMann's build tonight, it will have a beautiful new throbber.

Okay and lastly i'm sure some of you find Bug #241447 annoying (Typing in toolbar affected by character duplication) Yeess ii ffoounndd oouutt itt wwwaass ssttill tthherre
so it'll be patched in the next build (the 30th). Are there any more bugs you find to be a bit annoying? Let me know.

Cheers

I have a suggestion. Your build schedule shows that today (Thursdays) will be a 1.7 branch build. I think it would be a good idea to label the filename differently than all the other (trunk) builds just so there is no chance of confusion, and/or just state what type of build it is again when you post that the build is up.

Today's build is Trunk. It was Wednesday, changed it to Thursday, but for some strange reason I cant build the branch correctly.

Nice build :)
You're the mad patcher.

I'm gonna start using 7zip from now on, too.
It cut 2 megs off my file size.

Thank you for your hard work!

I actually like the latest release. A lot. Everything feels much faster. Not just page rendering, but also the response time on the menu when I clicked them, etc. etc. I haven't felt this kind of speed for quite a while...

Already using it :Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040503 Firefox/0.8.0+ (Darkstar) :)
Nice and fast build, thanks! Got no problems so far with a clean profile.
When i installed the "UserAgent Switcher" 0.31 extension and pressed ctrl+N to open a new window, the program terminated and never opened again until i made a new profile. Is it related with this build or the extension is not compatible with latest nightlies?

It looks like the useragent extension has had some problems with the more recent nightlies, as seen here,

Yepp thanks :) and finally 241068 - Crash when trying to enter text in input field, has a patch. So i'll apply that in the next build along with removing the uneeded ones that you mentioned. Guys, if you havent upgraded lately, then 20040504 will be the best build to get, as it will have all the bugs fixed.
