Camino 1.1 Alpha 1

Camino has long been my browser of choice, and it is just getting better and better. Camino 1.1 Alpha 1 gives us a taste of Camino's future today. Before I go on, I would like to point out that this i 't even a Beta yet, it is an Alpha. There are bound to be lots of bugs, so if the thought of a buggy browser makes you think twice then I wouldn't go downloading it just yet (but Camino 1.03 is a darned fine browser too).

Here are some highlights of what is new:

• ell checking
• Feed hand off
• Camino can force windows that want to open in a new window into a tab i tead
• Resizable search field

For the full ski y on what is included in this Alpha check out the release notes.

After the jump I have some pics of Camino 1.1. Alpha 1 in action.


Here is Feed handling in action. You just click on the universal Feed icon and your R reader of choice should launch and su cribe to the feed in question (though I am sure you already su cribe to TUAW!).

A big improvement is inline ell checking (seen to the left). I know that I mi it every time I compose a blog post in Camino, and now I will never mi ell again!


The Download Manager now has an optional button that lets you move downloads into the Trash. Pretty nice, and it saves me some clicking and dragging.





Finally, this is a small thing but a nice touch. They have iffied up the graphic you get when you got to a non-existent URL:
