Welcome to the community hotfix of the final build of Geckium Public Beta 1, brought to you by @jzadl. Beyond this build will be minor bugfixes, and Public Beta 2.
Next, Public Beta 2.
The following was written before the discovery mentioned above.
At this point, I've come to accept 2 things:
The following was written before the discovery mentioned above.
- Bruni is likely not coming back any time soon to fill the MPL-2.0 Relicense's holes
- Geckium as-is is gonna need a ton of changes for Nova support
Therefore, I've made the executive decision to rewrite Geckium for Public Beta 2. This shouldn't take too long, given a fair bit of existing code, resources, etc. is there, but expect fairly radical changes to occur sporadically across Geckium in the upcoming next public beta.
Updating Geckium?
To update Geckium, simply delete your Firefox Profile's chrome folder (use about:support to find your Firefox Profile per the instructions on Geckium's README), and then copy the below Public Beta 2.0 ZIP file's Profile Folder -> chrome folder in its place, before finally closing and opening Firefox. Geckium will handle the rest automatically.
Changes since Beta 1.19.3
Full Changelog: b0.20.19.3...b0.20.20.0
Geckium is in an Early Beta stage
Non-English-speaking Geckium users may find parts of Geckium's user interface are written in [!!! ƥƨèúδôℓôçáℓè !!!] - this means there hasn't yet been a translation for that string in your language - if you see any, please fork the repository, translate the dtd/properties files in locale accordingly, then send a Pull Request to this repository containing the localised strings!
Aside from having incomplete localisation for non-English Geckium users, please remember that due to Geckium being in an Early Beta state, there are many things missing from Geckium currently, including:
- Material Design 1 (or 58, is incomplete and seriously buggy)
- Floating Bookmarks Bar has a buggy background that is either incorrect or is misaligned with the new tab background
- Misc. Downloads Shelf behaviour such as dragging a download
- Error Pages, such as phishing
- Styling for the Downloads page
- Geckium and Firefox Updates from the About dialog/page (Geckium's current update checker is a placeholder until a better, automated, update experience is implemented in the future)
- Preventing the Downloads popup from appearing when downloading a file
These are all planned to be added in future Beta releases.
Please report bugs in the Issues tab of this repository.
