Re: [Camino] Weird Display Gliches & Other Oddities

But as was pointed out by earlier, you are using nightly testing
builds. This happens. If you hate these kind of problems, you should
be using the **official released version** 1.03 I believe. You will
have none of those problems with it.

I regret your impatience. It isn't fair to the developers who write
the code and put their **pr-release** work on display for people to
debug. While your criticisms are valid, you should find more
constructive ways of saying it.

You should appreciate what it feels like to put into public view work
you know is not finished. Its something like having an audience while
you're getting showered and dressed to go out. The world gets to see
you warts and all.

Thank-you to the developers who have worked so hard. I've watched
Camino grow since before Firefox or Safari even existed. bugs appear
and one by one, they've been squashed without sacrificing any of the
principles the project began with. I think its pretty amazing. This
time they've taken code native to another system and made it work with
Mac OS X so that we can say that this browser is comparable or better
than anything else out on the market for any platform.

There is no such thing as software without bugs, its as imperfect as
its human creators. However, as this project has shown, it is possible
to solve problems and improve software, but it comes at  a price, the
price is debugging nightly builds.


Cheers,
David
