I just downloaded this build last night, I'm assuming it's a .8 build (thats the folder i got it from) but the about box doesn't represent that.
Anyway, I never post here, cuz generally I don't have any issues with Firebird at all.. but, I Just wanted to say.....
THIS BUILD IS FLIPPIN' FAST! After installing it last night, I saw webpages render faster than I've ever seen in any browser on Windows, EVER. I just felt the need to come in here and applaud loudly to the developers! It's quite exciting to be using a product that's built and supported by a community such as this, and watch it grow and mature way past any of the other competing products.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Might have to try that one... not that the 0.7 milestone is slow or anything.

Pity that I can't say the same. Seems very similar to the .7 release for me. I hope it's only my computer that sucks

Just installed the same as huggy and Holy Crap he(or she,whichever is the case) is right. This browser is starting to kick all of the other browsers butts. I said I couldn't imagine it getting better after the .7 mark but I was wrong. Thank you very much.

I've been updating my nightlies every few nights since not long after 0.7, in both Linux and Windows. I've found, though a couple buggy, it's generally been getting faster and faster, likely thanks to the code-cleaning up they've been doing 
Nice work Firebird team

Must admit this build does seem much faster then my last build which was a mid november iirc. FB's startup times, and page rendering speeds have been noticebly faster, and it was very fast before

I also have this build (and the latest TBE which is working fine) and I must agree, it's so fast it almost takes me by suprise sometimes!
Excellent!

Awww, I envy you all! I can't download anything until the end of the week due to having very little of the cap left! *waves angry fist*
I'm looking forward to it. Mind you, using the 2.6 kernel now has certainly improved the loading times for Firebird (And, well, everything else too...)

Indeed - the 2.6 kernel is quite wonderful on my laptop 
As for this oh-so-fast 20040104 build, I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to download it. Proud user of teh Fox of Fire
