Firefox 3 RC1 disponible !

La première release candidate de la 3e version de Firefox a été rendue  disponible il y a peu, et apporte beaucoup de changements :

(je vous mets que ce qu'il y a a propos des perfs, mais tout le changelog est dispo juste là.)

 

Improved Performance

 

• Speed: improvements to our JavaScript engine as well as profile guided optimizations have resulted in continued improvements in performance. Compared to Firefox 2, web applications like Google Mail and Zoho Office run twice as fast in Firefox 3, and the popular SunSpider test from Apple shows improvements over previous releases.
• Memory usage: Several new technologies work together to reduce the amount of memory used by Firefox 3 over a web browsing session. Memory cycles are broken and collected by an automated cycle collector, a new memory allocator reduces fragmentation, hundreds of leaks have been fixed, and caching strategies have been tuned.
• Reliability: A user's bookmarks, history, cookies, and preferences are now stored in a transactionally secure database format which will prevent data loss even if their system crashes. (traduction plus tard, là faut que je l'essaye !)

 

Pour info, c'est version n'est pas une beta et est donc stable, vous pouvez l'essayer sans souci, mais il n'est pas sûr que toutes vos extensions/thèmes soient compatibles avec.
