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” – dat, when all the features they wanted to put in were in it. That’s called feature-based releases, and most developers use that strategy.

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.

De zoektocht naar een fatsoenlijke home page

Ik weet niet zeker waarom homepages zelfs werden uitgevonden in de eerste plaats. Ik bedoel, zeker, u een pagina moet openen wanneer u start uw browser, maar ze gewoon dingen maken, goed, onhandig. Plus ze zijn niet erg nuttig: de meesten van hen slechts dienen als een landing page; 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.
