Over at the Bezilla blog, Niels Reedijk posted a new development version of FireFox 1.0 for people to download and test. There is a net_server version for BeOS R5 users and a BONE version for those who use BONE or Zeta. The following are links to downloads and a list of patches mentioned in the […]

Every great OS needs a great browser. BeOS had NetPositive, which pretty much has become a relic. You can see how it’s simple interface has influenced everything that has come out since, but it’s rendering engine just never kept up. Since then, the browser de jour has gone from Opera to Mozilla to Firefox. The […]

Since the first days of the Mozilla browser on BeOS printing has been an issue. Once again a cash offer has been raised to any developer who tackles the problem. According to a forum post over at BeZilla.org the total cash bounty is up to $250 U.S. The only stipulations are that the fix must […]

The BeZilla development team is in need of a few donations from the community. The BeZilla tinder box is becoming more and more unreliable and has recently experienced some down time. The team is looking into possible upgrades for the server, including hardware donations from the community and paypal donations. On the same note, the […]

Paul sent in a request for your support. StripZilla has made some advances and patches in the graphics library that would be extremely useful to BeZilla itself. Paul has a survey up on the BeZilla site and would like your support helping convince StripZilla to merge their code into BeZilla in order to make BeZilla, […]

Just heard that bezilla.org has come online. It is a rather ambitious site maintained by arougthopher, which according to rumor is another name for “Paul”, who is a prominent BeZilla community member. It looks like the place to go for BeZilla news, questions, and downloads. Good luck to arougthopher in his quest to keep bezilla […]

Just had it pointed out that as of June 7th, the mozilla release page has BeZilla 0.9.1 on it. I dont know if this is up to speed with the rest of the mozilla ports, or even if it’s news, but it is listed under the most recent version number. So, I think it is […]

Just had it pointed out to me that Wade Majors has stopped working on the BeZilla project, saying: Some may not like to hear this, but I will no longer be working on Mozilla/BeOS. I will be happy to donate and transfer the mozillaforbeos.org domain to any user or group who wishes to do something […]

Some interesting news on the BeZilla front.. Apparently the current build of BeZilla (taken from CVS, as the daily build archive is down) can use plugins such as RealPlayer, MediaPlayer, and FlashPlayer! Thats a very very cool thing to know. Here is a screenshot for ya. 🙂

Well, BeZilla has made great progress recently, and just keeps going. Up until now it has been very hard to follow their work because the build process was difficult, and consumed lots of time and resources. Solving that problem is Wade Majors, who is posting daily builds of BeZilla on his site. So if you […]
