From dup bug 132964: endico@mozilla.org when you add an item to this bug, please give the bug number of the issue being tracked (if there is none, create one). Please add the text that you would like added to the release notes (or a draft at least). Don't just write "add bug nnnn to the release notes". Since you're so annoyed by the bug to add it to the release notes, you can probably describe it a lot better than I can. Try to add only items that you think will affect a lot of people. I'd like to make sure there are relnotes for each of the top items on the duplicates.cgi list.

bug 134849. need installation notes for mathml fonts
bug 34849 : as a result of this bug fix, it is now possible in Composer to modify, in the Source View, embedded CSS stylesheets (by STYLE or LINK elements) or and see the changes immediately apply when switching back to Normal View.
MailNews known issues -- bug 127141: Moving or copying a labeled message will not retain label in destination when filing across accounts: 1. Cross account IMAP-->any other account (including Local Folders) loses label. 2. Cross account POP-->POP (including Local Folders) is OKAY. 3. Cross account POP-->IMAP loses label. 4. Copy News-->any account loses label.
new pref: instroduced by http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44070 [deployment]Match browser's default locale/region to OS's default. all.js: pref("intl.locale.matchOS", false); When its value is 'true', browser will inquire the system's locale and set its UI language and region content to match it. For example, when we install a Japanese Mach V browser client on an English (US) system, on start up, the client will use English as its UI language and US as its region locale until a user profile is selected. If a (pair) of locale is defined in the selected profile, browser will honor the profile locale. In addition, when cmdline switches, '-UILocale' and/or 'contentLocale', present, the cmdline switch take precedence. Note that selecting locale is an expensive operation, therefore, when this pref is "true", there will be a roughly 30% start up performance drag.

bug 87902 Relnote: When you have selected the "Enable TLS" option from the SSL preferences panel, the browser will attempt to use the TLS protocol when making secure connections with a server. If that connection fails because the server is "TLS intolerent", the client will fall back to using SSL3. There is an important exception: If you have selected to use a proxy for secure connections, the browser will not be able to reach a "TLS intolerent" web site.

REFERENCES: bug 121744 SpiderMonkey should error on |for(i in undefined)|, |for(i in null)| bug 131348 |var obj; for (i in obj) {}| causes error Before bug 121744 was filed, our JS implementation did not error on these statements. Since ECMA-262 Edition 3 requires ECMAScript to error on them, bug 121744 was filed and we corrected our JS to match the standard. But many complaints ensued because we had changed the behavior of JS, and were no longer in agreement with the behavior of NN4.7 and IE6. So bug 131348 was filed, and it was decided to undo the 121744 fix. In addition, Waldemar reports in bug 131348 that the ECMA committee is leaning toward treating this as a bug in the standard, and changing it in Edition 4. (This is just speculation at this point, however). SUMMARY: once again, these statements will not cause a JavaScript error: for(i in undefined){} for(i in null){} var obj; for (i in obj){} This is the way it was in NN4.7, IE6, and the way it was in Mozilla/N6, too, before bug 121744 was filed. The behavior is once again the same everywhere. The Mozilla 0.9.9 Release Notes contained this paragraph: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's New In This Release The following JavaScript snippet now throws an error: for (var foo in undefined) {}. This change was made in order to comply with ECMA-262 3rd Edition Final. (Bug 121744) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- So we've got to indicate that we have reversed ourselves, due to bug 131348.

Please remove this relnote: bug 125561 - Relnote: If you are using more than one profile, and sending signed and/or encrypted email, or visit a web site requiring your personal certificate, you should disable the Quick Launch feature. The latest comment in the bug from trudelle is "No, that is unacceptable. We cannot enable by default, then expect users who do these things to take action based on a release note. If we are unable to fix this bug, we will have to consider how to automatically disable QuickLaunch in the common affected scenarios. Can we get a plus and ADT2 on this?"

Profiles Bug 137164. Do not share a profile between Netscape Seamonkey and Mozilla Seamonkey builds. Doing this can lead to unpredictable results, some of which may include loss of Search settings and preferences and unchecked growth of the Bookmarks file(large enough to hang your system). It is best to create a new profile for each or manually copy(and change the name) an existing profile.

bug 78176: SOCKS in Proxy Auto Config works now. PAC makes only SOCKS V4 connections, for compatability reasons with Communicator 4. SOCKS V5 is available via the manual configuration.
bug 133434: SOCKS Proxy V5 in Mail *ONLY* as it concerns SSL-wrapped connections and SMTP: If you have a SOCKS Proxy Version 5 connection, it will fail to connect to any SSL-initiated connection: secure news (snews), secure IMAP, SMTP, etc. In addition, if you have an SMTP server setting which has the preference for 'Use SSL | When Available' checked, sending mail will fail. Change the preference to 'Never' and you'll be able to send.

bug 111316 Information from the above bug : - McAfee virus scanner has an advanced option that is not enabled by default. the option turns on a web-scanning feature, where upon McAfee intersects all winsock2 system calls. doing so has been reported to cause many networking apps including netscape to crash. McAfee even suggested in their release notes that users not enable their web-scanning feature if it causes other applications to crash. i'm not sure if this crash could be a duplicate of the winsock problem. i just did a google search for "MCSCAN32 crash" and found a number of news group postings reporting complaints of this DLL causing instability in users' systems. here's a document from microsoft explaining what to do if IE crashes in MCSCAN32.DLL: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q300028

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120155 Mozilla window will not minimise if it is the only window open on the desktop (Windows platform). On any MS Windows platform, if a Mozilla window is the only open window on the desktop then pressing the Minimise button on the title bar, or selecting the Minimise option will seem to have no effect. Faster machines may give the appearance of the window bouncing to minimise and restoring to the original size. If another window is opened then the Mozilla window can then be minimised normally, however, if that other solitary window is then minimised the Mozilla window will be restored 'automagically'. Workarounds. This has been reported as being less frequent with the Modern Theme. If your desktop theme has a 'Minimise All' icon then this will minimise the lone Mozilla window successfully.

The Java sections are Obsolete (as usual :) Sentences like: Fixes for a number of remaining LiveConnect problems are being incorporated into JDK 1.4 and will be available when that release of JDK/JRE is available later this year. For example, should be updated with more fresh information. Cedric
Comment 36•22 years ago
|

The release notes have an incorrect link (quotes from the relnotes): "For some users on Microsoft Windows, using the Classic theme, Mozilla windows may not mimimize. The workaround is to use the Minimize All Windows command on the Windows Task Bar or to switch to the Mozilla Modern theme. (Bug 136761)" That should be bug 120155. Bug 136761 is really "Mozilla might crash while playing random Quicktime content. (Bug 136761)"

Can we make a clarification to: "Mozilla only accepts hostnames for manual proxies. If you migrate a Communicator 4 profile, you will need to change the settings manually. (Bug 30387) " The last sentence should say: "Communicator 4 allowed URL's in manual configuration, but Mozilla does not. If you migrate a profile configured this way, you will need to change the URL to a hostname and port number."

Bug 141819: Composer, Publishing feature: If the Publishing URL, file name, user name, or password contain any special characters (such as "@") that need to be escaped, then Composer creates a duplicate site entry each time you publish the document. To work around this bug, choose the original site name from the Site Name list in the Publish dialog box before publishing the document again. For example, Prodigy and SBC Global users have usernames that are also their email addresses, e.g., "john@sbcglobal.net". After publishing to this site, the next time you use the Publish dialog, the username from the document URL will appear as "john%40sbcglobal.net" (the "@" was escaped during publishing). Since Composer can't find this entry, it creates a duplicate site name.

Bug 138040: Composer: During publishing, incorrect "Publish Failed" message appears in the publishing status panel, and then quickly changes to "Publishing Completed" message.

Some changes need to be made to the Release Notes for 1.0. All the references to prefs.js should be changed to user.js. No one should be manually editing prefs.js. It is a generated file. Manual changes made to prefs.js can lead to profile corruption. All manual changes should go into user.js, see bug 142590, or, if necessary, all.js. Additionally, Mozilla supports Sun Java 1.4. This version is a great improvement over other versions, especially in the area of stability. Our release notes should not point to the old, broken version of Sun Java, but only to 1.4. Finally, the release note for "cannot view any https urls when memory cache size is set to 0," needs to have the bug number added (bug 136210).

Adds: bug 28385 - If the user is downloading a file in the background with Mozilla and the user exits Mozilla from the File menu, the download will abort without warning. Workaround: close Mozilla only after downloads finish. bug 33282 - telnet:// URLs do not work in Linux (and possibly other UNIX systems). telnet:// URL's work for Win32 and MacOS. Workaround: install protozilla from <http://protozilla.mozdev.org/>. bug 51683 - Mozilla is unable to have 2 differently named bookmarks for the same url. bug 60304 - When going to a site that requires the user to authenticate with HTTP to download a Java applet that also requires authentication, the user will have to login twice with the same username and password. bug 74320 - When visiting a SSL enabled site, the lock icon will take on a yellow background, and will not indicate the strength of the SSL encryption used, whether it is 40 bit, 56 bit, or 128 bit. bug 86319 - Some animated GIFs, especially large ones, display very slowly and make Mozilla unresponsive. bug 90337 - If the URL bar does not respond to the Enter/Return key, you can use the temporary workaround of pasting the URL into File | Open Web location. To fix it, close Mozilla, then delete your history.dat and localstore.rdf. That usually solves the problem. Otherwise, you may have to reinstall Mozilla and create a new profile. bug 104992 - Using Windows 98 with some ATI graphics adapters will result in occasional corruption of inline images as rendered on web pages. This is an ATI graphics driver bug. bug 106462 - To prevent blinking text from blinking, create a text file in your profile directory called user.js. In that file place the following line user_pref("browser.blink_allowed", false); . bug 122445 - If a username or password is embedded into a URI in the form of http://username:password@sitename.com Mozilla will not warn the user of this when the user follows the link. URI's with long usernames in the form of http://www.mozilla.org%2084230482304982304329048230948@fraudsite.com could deceive users into thinking they were going to mozilla.org when they were really going to fraudsite.com. bug 126782 - Mozilla will very rarely not detect that an opened file is binary, and will attempt to display it as a web page. To download such a file, right-click on the link and select "Save Link Target As." bug 142590 - To make a manual change to preferences, do not edit prefs.js. Create a new text file, user.js, in the same directory as prefs.js. Entries in user.js will override entries in prefs.js, if necessary.

A couple of minor changes should be made to the formatting of the release notes. The release notes tend to overflow the right margin. If we made a 5% right-margin, that might solve it. Secondly, at the top of the release notes, we should add a line that says "Bug number references are included to provide more information about the specified problem." Currently, it looks like each problem is being worked on, when many of the bug references are to invalid and worksforme bugs. Those bugs are listed, like the others, primarily to provide information.
Comment 49•22 years ago

Last post for now. Add: Bug 86501 - If the drive where the Mozilla profiles are installed runs out of free space, when Mozilla exits all preferences will be lost. Workaround: close Mozilla only when sufficient free space is available. Bug 113203 - In Profile Manager, if you rename a profile to a name you previously used, all your Mozilla preferences will be lost. Workaround: if you rename a profile, use a unique name.
Comment 50•22 years ago

Profile locations need to be corrected for Windows 2000. It should read: %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\[Profile Name]\[random string].slt\ because windows profiles can be on other drives than c: and the pathnames are localized (e.g. "Dokumente und Einstellungen" in a German windows) Also it should be mentioned that profile locations are customizable and so they may reside in other locations than those specified in the release notes.

Please, emphasize (e.g. at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/#java), that $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji140.so (e.g.) *does have* to be a symlink to the real j2re .so file for the java to work properly? This is already mentioned at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/#java, but it isn't said, that it won't work if one copy the file instead of making the symlink. If it's copied, it crashes mozilla and gives some not very helpful error messages. Thanks in advance, I spend half a day trying to get things working. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.copy the mentioned .so file to $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/plugins 2.open a page with java applet 3.it crashes immediately

Bug 133334 - You can't open links in email into a new window. If you receive an email containing a link and you right-click on it, you do get the normal context menu, top of which says "Open Link in New Window". But choosing that has no effect; nothing happens!!! So you are forced to open the link with a left-click.
Comment 54•22 years ago

More S/MIME related issues: Recipient email addresses are case sensitive. Using mixed case or a different case than that found in a recipient certificate will fail to find the certificate when attempting to encrypt a mail message. This is already fixed in the RTM version. Dual key certificates are not supported by Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. For interoperability, use dual use certificates. LDAP certificate retrieval is not supported in PR1. Do not use the FIPS cryptographic module in PR1. Enabling OCSP may generate errors when attempting to send secure messages. Signing newsgroup messages is not implemented in PR1.
Comment 55•22 years ago

Bug 130885 seems to appear all the time with the mentioned site, as soon as users enable OCSP. This seems to be true for all sites that fall into the category described in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130885#c20 - which might be many sites. from an email from kaie. i think i may have added this already but just in case... -------------------------------- If we want to include that in the general release notes, we could say something like: The current OCSP implementation is rather strict. If it detects a server certificate, where the signer specified an OCSP site, the browser relies on that site to be available and give out approriate information. Otherwise connections to the secure site will not be allowed, and an error code -8073 will be reported. If you need to connect to those sites anyway, you should disable OCSP. and later... ------------------- It seems some people see error code -5961 instead of -8073, maybe we should list both error codes.

(from bug 33732) MOUSE WHEEL SCROLLING Windows: Mousewheel scrolling does not work with all drivers. If you have problems, try updating your driver or disabling any "helper" programs that your mouse uses. If you have a Logitech mouse, you can either upgrade the driver (to at least v9.60) or enable the "Microsoft Office compatible scrolling" option in the Mouse/Buttons control panel.

Add: Bug 143764 - Quick Launch is supported in this release only if the Mozilla installation has one Mozilla profile. If there is more than one Mozilla profile, Quick Launch will not work.

Add: Bug 142563: Composer - Publishing to a non-existent subdirectory on the Netscape "MyWebPage" site (http://mywebpage.netscape.com/) creates a file with the subdirectory name. Workaround: 1) Don't publish to a subdirectory or 2) Be sure any subdirectory you publish to already exists. Use a standard FTP program to view your site to confirm this. Keep in mind that folder or subdirectory names are case-sensitive. Users must be careful to pay attention to the icon for a file vs. a folder to be sure that what they see is an existing folder (subdirectory) before they publish into it. You can use an FTP program to delete any files you may have created because of this bug.

Add: Bug 144027 : If Mozilla doesn't open new windows and/or doesn't open other components from the Browser (Mailnews, View Source) and you have Third-Party Themes installed (also not active !) do this : Uninstall all Third Party Themes via the preferences and/or delete all files in Profile/Chrome/ (You will loose all additional languages packs and Third-Party Themes)

In the RC3 release notes the paragraph beginning with "While enabling HTTP pipelining" (see comment #58 above) should link to bug 144607 instead of bug 130885. Similarly, the relnote beginning with "If a username or password is embedded into a URI in the form of" should link to bug 122445 instead of bug 104992.

I'm not sure what the correct explanation will be but there needs to be some explanation of the (non)integration with IE's Favorites (OS=Windows). ------------------------------------------------- GENERAL -> NAVIGATOR -> BOOKMARKS - reference either bug 134535 (now INVALID but includes relevant discussion) or bug 59636 ("need UI for importing") - On Windows systems, the Internet Explorer bookmarks (aka "Favorites") are not linked to Mozilla's bookmarks. Instead, there is a one-time import of the Favorites when a new Mozilla profiles is created. These bookmarks are placed in a folder labeled "Imported IE Favorites" and can be moved/renamed using the Bookmark Manager; any changes you make will *not* appear in IE because they are separate copies! - If you want the two sets of bookmarks to be linked, you can configure Mozilla to re-import the "Imported IE Favorites" folder each time you restart Mozilla. This feature is no longer supported but can be enabled by adding the following line to your profile's PREFS.JS file, user_pref("browser.bookmarks.import_system_favorites", true); Note -- this change must be done when Mozilla and/or Quicklaunch are completely shutdown, or else the change will not be saved.

based on RC3 relnotes, I found these problems: [1] 'uninstalling Mozilla' - 'Windows' - doesn't mention having to also manually delete files from %WINDIR% [2] 'Files created or used' doesn't mention those created in %WINDIR% (NSREG.DAT is bug 142367) [3] 'Profile Locations' - 'Windows 2000' - the location should instead be %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Profiles\[Profile Name]\[random string].slt\ [4] 'Profile Locations' - Windows NT 4 or XP aren't mentioned [5] the View Frame Source problem and workaround is mentioned twice [6] 'Chatzilla' - '...would like to contribute, please tell us in the rginda@netscape.com' is gramatically incorrect [7] the 'Plugins' section should be ordered by OS (as other sections are) rather than mixing together OS-specific points [8] 'Java' - 'Windows' - 'copy NPJava130_01.dll, NPJava130_01a.dll, NPJava130_01b.dll, NPJava130_01c.dll, and NPOJI610.dll' - NPJava130_01?.dll files are only for Netscape 4.x aren't they? Mozilla only requires NPOJI610.dll [9] 'Java' - 'Windows' - 'to your Mozilla plugins directory (something like C:\Program Files\ Mozilla 1.0.RC3 \bin\plugins' - Mozilla is NEVER installed by default in a 'Mozilla 1.0.RC3' and 'bin' directory on Windows! its C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\plugins with spaces only in the 'Program Files' directory name

comment #71: [4] WinXP has the same profile location as Win2k [8] 'Java' - 'Windows' .... : You need al this files for all mime-types. Some pages don't work without this files. [9] Mozilla 1.0.RC3 : This is a placeholder for the correct Path. (i have mozilla.org/Rc1 , mozilla.org/Rc2,....)

regarding my point [8] shouldn't we additionally mention then that Sun's Java 1.4.0 requires NPOJI600.dll, NPJava11.dll, NPJava12.dll, NPJava13.dll, NPJPI140.dll and NPJava32.dll? regarding my point [4] if WinXP uses the same profile location as Win2k then we should mention that. 'home' users using XP whove moved with the flow from Win95/98/Me may very well not know what Windows 2000 is However, we have profile location information given for 'Windows', 'Windows 2000' and 'Windows 95 and Windows 98'. the 'Windows 2000' section should be removed as its the same as is written for 'Windows', just the 'Windows 2000' section presents it in a more scalable format (using %USERPROFILE%). the 'Windows' section should be changed to read 'Windows NT (Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP)' (unless NT4 differs) and though we might like to, we mustn't forget Windows Millenium, so the 'Windows 95 and Windows 98' should presumably be changed to 'Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Millenium' if Windows 95/98/Me were configured as a multi-user system, would the profile location be C:\Windows\PROFILES\[Windows login name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\[Profile Name]\[random string].slt\? I think [Windows login name] should instead be [username] regarding [9] "This is a placeholder for the correct Path" do you mean placeholder in the Release Notes text or in your own file system? if Release Notes text then it shouldn't ever differ from mozilla.org\Mozilla

In Known Problems -> Plugins, "Linux: Mozilla crashes while playing Flash content on a remote X display. No workaround present other than not using remote X display. (Bug 58397)" should link to bug 58973, not 58397. Also, "Linux: Loading a page that contains a Flash plugin may cause Mozilla to lock up if you are using an audio application. (Bug 58937)" is also linked to the wrong bug, and I suspect it may be the same issue that's already included a few paragraphs up with "Linux: Mozilla will hang if a Flash plugin tries to play audio and the audio device is already in use. Workaround: Stop the audio device and return to that page. (Bug 58339)".

Add: Bug 121926 - If a user types in a wrong password for e-mail and stores the wrong password in password manager, Mozilla will not prompt the user to type in a new, correct password. Workaround: go to Edit | Preferences | Privacy & Security | Passwords | Manage Stored Passwords. Remove the appropriate entries for the mail servers. Then, the next time the user accesses e-mail, he will be prompted for a new password. This problem is fixed in Mozilla version 1.0.1.

[Two items (since I have answered a lot of these two questions in the last couple of days and answering them consumes much my spare free time)]: 1. Xprint support is disabled in Redhat RPM builds (bug 133534). If your build does not have a components/libgfxxprint.so then it was build with Xprint support _explicitly_ disabled. 2. Xprint module printer names (in the print dialog) _always_ have a '@'-char in their name (like hplaser001@myhost) and _never_ have the prefix "PostScript/" (that are PostScript module printers).

Minor nit: Pls change s/Xprint support is disabled in Redhat RPM builds (bug 133534)/Xprint support is disabled in Redhat RPM builds (bug 133534) - please use tar.gz distributions instead/

Please indicate somewhere in the release notes and/or download pages that Mac users should NOT use version 6.0.1 of Stuffit Expander to decompress mozilla/netscape bits. Versions 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and above are ok. related bug: 145909

See bug 144710. Add: Setting the preference to Open In New Tab in Open Web Location dialog results in a program hang if the entered URL is invalid. In MacOS 9.x(Classic), force quitting Mozilla at this point crashes the entire system. When the hang happens, please switch to Finder and quit other applications before force quitting Mozilla.

Adding bug 71105, "No biff for POP3, and no icon update in browser for IMAP when no mail/news window open" That means, if you don't have a mail window open. Then mozilla will not be checking for mail until you open up the mail window (regression from ns4.7 and even previous mozilla versions!) This has not been fixed in 1.1, 1.2.1, 1.3, or 1.4a. It should at least be in the release notes.
Depends on: 71105
