We Continue Our Work

As you might know, mozilla now has a tabbed interface under the hood. Try the use of ctrl-t. This keyboard shortcut will open a tab and activate the mozilla tabbar. It's still very much away from the current MultiZilla releases but it is a start. MultiZilla was the sole root for this new feature. And that's thanks to all of you!

Is MultiZilla now integrated in Mozilla?

Yes and no. Yes it has a tab UI and no, it's not. However, we all know where it started but it was David 'crazy' Hyatt who developed the new tabbrowser widget for mozilla. This crazy dude, and crazy he is because we've had chats on IRC at times we both should be sleeping! In fact if you remove all of his source code from Mozilla, there wasn't much Mozilla left. HJ stopped his development on his mzbrowser widget and started to implement an enhanced version of the new tabbrowser widget for MultiZilla.

Where does it leave MultiZilla?

First of all, MultiZilla, as a project, succeeded in its mission because we now have some of this included in the Mozilla builds. MultiZilla was purely born out of interest and as a private study object. It later became a framework for the current MultiZilla versions. I will continue my work on MultiZilla, I still have a lot to learn. Sure, I will also work more closely on Mozilla, but isn't that obvious?

Will all of MultiZilla go into Mozilla?

No, you can simply forget about that. A lot of the MultiZilla functionality will never get into Mozilla. But some of it will, David already copied some of the MultiZilla features and more will follow. But let us make no mistakes, it is a clean rewrite of MultiZilla features.
