Fx 3.6.15 ASAP

Post by Alan Baxter »

Looks like Fx 3.6.15 will need to be released shortly after yesterday's release of Fx 3.6.14. Among other things, Fx 3.6.14 causes severe problems with Java (JRE). Although the problem was reported over a month ago in the first release candidate build of Fx 3.6.14, and included the bug title "JRE broken in FF 3.6.14 Build 1", it was overlooked by the developers. I imagine the test group will be looking hard at what tests need to be added before future releases and why no one noticed a bug report that had "broken in FF 3.6.14 Build 1" right there in the title.

We stop pushing updates for 3.6.14 because it breaks many Java applets (especially Pogo.com games). It was also crashier. We'll be respinning builds soon with those two fixes and pushing out 3.6.15

And that after 3.6.14 was already delayed for some weeks. :shock:
