I've been using the RC's and while I like it overall... I am not a big fan of the search history drop down. I much prefer the 2.0 version of that.

I'm just getting HTTP 500 Internal Server Error on about 5 different download links I've tried :-?

EDIT: Got it from FileHippo :)

I downloaded it 3 times for 3 different computers (could have networked but I want to contribute to the record :lol: ) and I had a slight delay but no problem otherwise.

The one I got from FileHippo has a date of May 2008 so I'm not installing it. I'll wait for the servers to slow down.

Ya, the EULA reads May 2008, if that's what you mean. It's a 7.14MB d/l.

There are times when I like the new history drop down, and other times when I don't. I did find that if you start typing something and it brings up multiple results, the more you go to the one you want if it's further down the list, the closer to the top it will get when you have the same string in the address bar. Just updated my portage tree in Gentoo and am going to compile and install it soon
