Description

This is the Mozilla 0.8.1 Release Notes tracking bug.  Please note bugs which
should be added to or removed from the 0.8 Release Notes
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.8/

Gopher support (bug 49334) has now been added to mozilla. However, some features
are still missing:

- (windows only) mozilla is not registered as a handler for gopher urls. (bug
70264)
- gopher searchs are supported yet (bug 70267)
- for security reasons, mozilla will only talk to gopher servers on the
well-known gopher port (port 70). Mozilla will connect to this port for any
gopher url, regardless of the port the user entered (bug 71916)

Asa: Feel free to reword.

Remove:
bug #57292
bug #69365
bug #65220
bug #67574
bug #67944
bug #53152
bug #67988

bug 53440 should be replaced with #51241

Suggesting to add:

bug #67442 (although it's not as frequent as before)
bug #30841 
bug #28348 (annoying for large messages/slow connections)
bug #70812 (for most keyboard bugs recently appeared)
bug #66118 (but description should definitely include most Navigator
categories). This bug was already described with the abiguous phrase "The 'ok'
command doesn't always function in prefrences" (my fault, I admit).
bug #60780 (workaround=reload page)

Sorry for not including bug summaries, it was too difficult since I was not able
to use copy-paste in 2001031304 build :(

OK, walk84's patch got checked in, so the gopher release item should read:

Gopher support has now been checked into the tree (bug 49334). However searches
using the gopher protocol have not yet been implemented (bug 70267)

1. Fixed bug #50424 Run moz while moz is already running --> nothing happens (if
it will finally make it in the release).
2. I somewhat insist on bug #60780 "hitting STOP before any rendering is done
causes current web page to become inactive", because it has some dupes and it
can be easily reproduced in slow connections (V90 - ISDN).
3. Add to bug #39310 description: Status bar says 'Transferring data from ...'
when page is done loading.
4. "Improved theme switching" in What's New section is bug #68662.
Needless to say Release Notes are greatly improved. Just as Mozilla approaches
maturity in the last 3 months :)

I forgot to report that a few file names are missing from "Files Created or
Used" section (win32):
1. $windir\mozver.dat
2. $windir\MozillaUninstall.exe
3. folder $windir\Application Data\Mozilla (Win98) or $windir\Mozilla (Win95). I
am not sure about Win2k.

checked in a new version covering all items listed here. It'll take
a while to show up on the web site. I removed "draft" from the title.
