Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Further alpha releases - which are code named Gran Paradiso "in an effort to discourage regular end users from downloading them" - will appear on a monthly schedule. Alpha releases are best left alone unless you are involved in the project or a web developer who needs to start investigating Firefox 3 compatibility well in advance.
Changes in Alpha 4 - which is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux - include Mac user interface improvements and bug fixes, inclusion of the FUEL JavaScript library for developers of Firefox extensions, and improvements to offline web application support.
Work scheduled for Alpha 5 includes search engine keyword support, an Extension Manager, and integration with the Growl notification system for Mac OS X. Growl support was removed from Alpha 4 shortly before release following the discovery of a significant bug.
The further development of Places (the integrated bookmarks and history manager that will be a major feature of Firefox 3) should also be seen in Alpha 5.
