Camino 1.6.9

Camino 1.6.9 is designed as a secure browser which is as functional and elegant as the computers it runs on. The Camino web browser is also powerful and ready to meet the needs of all users while remaining simple and elegant in its design.

Camino combines the awesome visual and behavioral experience that has been central to the Macintosh philosophy with the powerful web-browsing capabilities of the Gecko rendering engine. Built and tested by thousands of volunteers, Mozilla's Gecko brings cutting-edge innovations and capabilities to users in a standards-friendly and socially responsible form.

Major Features:

1. Toolbar Search Improvements
   One of the most requested features has been the ability to easily customize the toolbar search field. Camino 1.6 now includes an editor that allows deleting, renaming, and reordering search engines. Camino also supports OpenSearch search engine plug-ins. New search engines can be added to the toolbar’s search field by automatic discovery or by web pages that provide links to
2. OpenSearch plug-ins.
   Streamlined Find Interface
   Camino 1.6 removes the Find panel and replaces it with a simple, unobtrusive Find toolbar that appears near the bottom of the browser window. With back and forward buttons at your fingertips and incremental find, the Find toolbar makes finding words on a page easier than ever!
   
3. Tabbed Browsing Improvements
   Camino 1.6 includes a scrolling tab bar. When more tabs are open than can be displayed in the tab bar, arrows appear at the right and left edges to allow scrolling the bar. As part of this change, the tab overflow menu has been replaced by a menu displaying all open tabs in the current window.
   
4. Software Update
   Updating to the latest version of Camino is even easier than ever with Camino’s new auto-update feature. Integrating with the popular “Sparkle” framework, Camino now automatically checks for new releases and optionally installs them.
   
5. AppleScript Support
   Camino now includes enhanced AppleScript support. AppleScripts can now refer to individual tabs and windows, add, open, and delete bookmarks, and even have custom toolbar icons.
   
6. Keychain Support
   In addition to saving logins and passwords in the Mac OS X Keychain, Camino 1.6 can now store information for multiple accounts in the Keychain. Camino also maintains compatability with Safari Keychain entries, allowing easier switching between web browsers.
   
7. Feed Detection
   Camino supports the detection of RSS/Atom feeds in web pages. When a feed is found, an icon appears in the location bar. Clicking that icon and selecting a feed will send the feed to your default Mac OS X feed reader. New in Camino 1.6 is the ability to pass feeds to certain web-based feed readers including Google Reader, Bloglines, and My Yahoo.
   
8. Spell-checking
   Camino includes the built-in Mac OS X spell-checker on every text field. Unlike Firefox, this spell-checker is the same one used throughout Mac OS X. Now you don't have to worry about making spelling mistakes when writing for your blog, leaving comments, or posting on your favorite forum. New in Camino 1.6: For users of Mac OS X 10.5, you can now change the active spelling language.
   
9. Session Saving
   Camino includes support for “session saving”, or optionally remembering what pages you were visiting when you quit and automatically loading them the next time you start—perfect for all those times you have to install Mac OS X updates! In addition, while crashes are not common, Camino can load the pages you were visiting when you start Camino after it unexpectedly quit.
   
10. Annoyance Blocking
    Camino includes an elegant built-in pop-up blocker as well as built-in adblocking, which keeps even the busiest Web sites free of advertisements. Camino’s pop-up blocker gives you the option to show the pop-up, whitelist the site, or never get prompted again. Additionally, Camino includes the ability to keep Flash animation from loading until you’re ready (Flashblock) as well as the ability to disable Java.
    
11. Open Source
    The Camino Project is proud to say that product is 100% open-source software. This revolutionary method of development allows a diverse group of people from around the world to work together on a product that is truly developed by and for the people. With so many eyes reviewing Camino’s code, as well as that of the Gecko rendering engine, problems are caught quickly, resulting in a more robust and secure product.
