Firefox’s new release strategy

Back in the day (and by that I mean a week ago), new versions of Firefox were releasedwhen they were ready” – وهذا هو, when all the features they wanted to put in were in it. That’s called feature-based releases, ومعظم المطورين استخدام هذه الاستراتيجية.

But there’s another release strategy that focuses on releasing new versions every so often. Some features might not make a version, but that’s OK; a new version is coming in x weeks so it’ll be included then. This is called fixed releases.

السعي للحصول على الصفحة الرئيسية لائق

لست متأكدا لماذا الصفحات الرئيسية تم حتى اخترع في المقام الأول. أعني, بالتأكيد, كنت في حاجة الى فتح صفحة عند الحذاء متصفحك, لكنها مجرد جعل الامور, جيد, أخرق. بالإضافة إلى أنها لم تكن مفيدة جدا: معظمهم تخدم فقط كصفحة الهبوط; you don’t really use them except to read news about how kids can’t bring bagged lunch to school (*cough* Yahoo *cough*.) And when you do that kind of stuff, you just get distracted from what you were originally meaning to do all along.

I want to know why that is and how I can help fix it.
