Firefox 10 Released

Mozilla has updated their popular Firefox Internet browser to Version 10.  Their email client Thunderbird has also been updated to compliment the Firefox package.  The primary focus of these updates are the inclusion of  developer toos, giving the developer easy access to the HTML and CSS code associated with the website being viewed.  The latest implementation of Firefox also makes it easy to build WebGL 3 dimensional graphics without additional software.

The latest version includes the following fixes and updates:

  • New: The forward button is now hidden until you navigate back
  • New: Most add-ons are now compatible with new versions of Firefox by default
  • New: Anti-Aliasing for WebGL is now implemented (see bug 615976)
  • New: CSS3 3D-Transforms are now supported (see bug 505115)
  • HTML5: New <bdi> element for bi-directional text isolation, along with supporting CSS properties (see bugs 613149 and 662288)
  • HTML5: Full Screen APIs allow you to build a web application that runs full screen (see the feature page)
  • Developer: We’ve added IndexedDB APIs to more closely match the specification
  • Developer: Inspect tool with content highlighting, includes new CSS Style Inspector
  • Fixed: Mac OS X only – after installing the latest Java release from Apple, Firefox may crash when closing a tab with a Java applet installed (700835)
  • Fixed: Some users may experience a crash when moving bookmarks (681795)

T40 Text Screen Editor Released for Apple ][

From a posting by Antoine Vignau:

Say hello to T40 v1.2 which adds the following features:
- screen flipping (horizontal, vertical)
- screen mirrorrorrim (left-right, right-left, top-down, down-top)
- screen inverting (convert all chars to flash, normal or inverse
video mode)
- an undo feature for the above ones ;-)
- a feature to lock cursor movements (ideal for column art)
- is now menu driven (ahem)
- a change in the second output buffer (lines are now CR terminated)

Find it at http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/apple2/t40.html

It will, for sure, be superseded by v1.3 which will add support for
open-apple shortcuts:
- oa-f : set to flash mode (faster)
- oa-i : set to inverse mode (faster)
- oa-n : set to normal mode (faster)
- oa-l : writing goes from right to left
- oa-r : writing goes from left to right
- oa-t : writing goes upwards
