Fennec 2.0 Alpha Coming in a Few Weeks, Will Enter Beta This Fall
Fennec for Android development is always moving along, and we’re always right there with the Firefox for Mobile team to follow. The latest says that the latest nightly Fennec builds – while still rough in a few places – is otherwise completely usable. The app is expected to enter 2.0 alpha stages in the coming weeks – just ahead of a beta stage they expect will head our way this fall. If things go according to plan, it sounds like we might be seeing Fennec officially released at least before the end of Q4.
New features (in alpha or planned) include Firefox sync, Find-In-Page, link sharing, autofilling using information from your address book, and multi-touch gestures (alongside the already implemented pinch-to-zoom). Things are beginning to come along nicely, it seems, and while I’ve held off on downloading the alpha before, the 2.0 version just might be enough to get me to check it out.
