Hi,

I am curious when is the newer version is going to be available? I have been waiting for ever. Is there any official timeline planned for the release?

I love Kmeleon and use it for most of my browsing. Only concern is, if a newer version comes out once an year, will it be as secure as the browsers which are getting updated once a month (say firefox)[/quote]

Phani,

Fred just talked about the latest FF update and how it did not matter for KM.

So long as Seamonkey 1.xxxx has security updates, KM will be safe imo.

Down the road, the work that Fred and Hao are doing on Gecko 1.9 will undoubtedly be used by Dorian in the next release of KM, which will be based on Gecko 1.9.

An important issue for KM is SQLite. It is not clear (to me) that it is the perfect dBase for Gecko. Security is an issue there and the developers at Mozilla Corp. have raised the issue of quickly replacing SQLite, at some unidentified time in the future. As KM is a macro-based browser, there are other solutions, but that will be up to the developers to implement.

KM 1.5.3 is very secure and if and when it is no longer secure, you will know about it here as the KM community is not shy about talking about what is working and what is not with this browser.

Just my 2 cents worth.[/quote]
