It doesn’t have the cryptic appeal of ‘Frodo Lives!’ scrawled on a subway station wall, but it does have the advantage of being true: an updated version of Netscape — version 7.2 — is due on August 3rd.
Based on version 1.7 of the Mozilla suite, Netscape 7.2 won’t be a quantum leap over the current version (7.1, based on Mozilla 1.4), but should nevertheless offer a worthwhile boost in speed, stability and standards-compliant rendering goodness.
I’m not planning on giving up Firefox any time soon, but it’s nice to see some life in the old girl just the same.
