Anyone in the know able to shed any light on the validity of this story?

This isn't the official 1.0 release,, it's just another last minute bug-fix... most likely the last release before the Nov 9.

If you're one of the braveish people already using the CVS releases.. then this will be little to get hyped up about... I'd steer clear for now.. as many extensions will be incompatible and won't be updated for at least a few days.

I think it's time for me to download and see what its like. :D

Yep, the real 1.0 Final release is in November, complete with a full page ad in the New York Times. :D

Go for it Bill - you won't be sorry. There's endless fun to be had with themes and extensions, not to mention the smug satisfaction of helping to weaken the stranglehold of a predatory monopoly over the Web.

Be aware though, that if you download the Preview Release just now, as Silver has ponited out, some of the themes or extensions you might choose to install in it may not work when you update to v1.0 next month. But this isn't a problem if you enjoy fiddling about (as I do), and the authors of extensions and themes usually get them updated to work with new releases within days, so I'd say download it now and start playing. :D

Yep, the final release will be with us on 9th November

The only problem I found is that you cannot cut,copy and paste using the WYSIWYG editor, the security functions in Firefox prevent you from doing this and everytime I try to alter the config to give permission to the script I still get a dialog box telling me to alter the config file.

Trust me Bill, you won't regret it.

As an aside, I have been round to the house of someone who's PC I have been fixing almost constantly for three months now due to spyware issues.

They are not very experienced net users, but I've taken the decision tonight to hide all references to IE and put Firefox on their (rather old) PC.

All is well so far, and they can use it ok. But this is quite a test of the program's usability and security.
