Deer Park Alpha 2 Release Candidates

We now have a round of builds that are very close to what we will shortly
release as Deer Park Alpha 2.

These candidate builds are now available for testing for each of Windows, Mac
and Linux--- with a second round of l10n builds to follow shortly. Please note
that for our alpha releases there are feature and polish issues that have not
yet been completely worked out. We release these milestones to get the core
code out to our community to test out major gecko and platform changes as soon
as possible. If these test out well, we'll be shipping Deer Park Alpha 2 shortly.

This will be second alpha in the Deer Park product development cycle and will
include all major and significant features, whether pref'd on or off in order to
achieve wider testing and to solicit quality feedback. The quality standard for
this release is pre-production and therefore it should be of the quality
required to support testing, and for Extension, theme and web application
developers to begin compatibility and feature testing in advance of Firefox 1.1.
It may break some but not all 1.0+ targeted Extensions. It should not contain
any significant or known crashers.

Please download these builds and let us know of any significant issues which
should stop this release. In particular, please ensure that these builds work
for you to access all major web sites and services that you use regularly, e.g.
e-mail, e-commerce, banking, etc.

The new software update engine has been incorporated into these builds but it
presently off by default as we put together and coordinate test plans. Details
to be posted here shortly.

Also, after a round of successful testing and debugging during the first Deer
Park alpha, we're enabling the Fastback feature. With this feature enabled
where before the browser needed to re-render each page from a local cache of
documents, now you will see a dramatic speed improvement when you click the back
and forward buttons to navigate between recently viewed web pages.
