Firefox 3.5 has been released~~
這兩天大家比較關注的東西應該就屬 Firefox 了吧!從 3.0 到 3.5 這個大幅度的改版不知道是否會讓人產生期待呢??
不過據官方網站的 release note 看起來似乎整體內容沒什麼變,只差在體質,也就是說它改善的是一些效能速度或是支援新功能,感覺上就有點類似 Linux kernel 的改版,意思就是核心引擎部分改進許多,當然可能最常被人提到的就是 TraceMonkey 的 JavaScript 引擎,它也的確讓使用過 3.5 的人覺得對於處理某些 web 頁面有明顯的效能提升,不過唯一最讓人詬病的就是附加元件的支援度,似乎每次一改版就得忍受某些元件不支援…
但對於常使用多分頁的人更新為此版本的確幫助不少,有興趣的人可以到下面這裡下載繁體中文版本
