It's out, and is off to an auspicious beginning by no longer crashing on my MDI script. Woohoo!

(summarized from the release notes)

Also, MathML is now supported by default:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/basics.xhtml

The JavaScript debugger can now profile functions (hey, that's what mine does!)

Supports SOAP. An important thing to have if any of use plan on buying into all the web services propoganda going on.

Fullscreen mode (win32 only). My first thought, honestly, was "Crap! Now I have to suffer through all those pages opening in full screen on Mozilla, too". Have to say it looks pretty neat with the tabbed interface, though. But don't get any ideas!

JavaScript can now be configured to disable window.open() when it isn't opened from a mouse click. Finally! (previously, you could set this through the preferences).

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty stoked - yeah, cos it no longer crashes on my stuff. But, really, I've been using Mozilla more and more with my own site.

It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, probably because it's closer to a 1.0 release. Or, maybe because I'm coming down with something? :)

Ahh at least it is out. Was using nightly builds since Fullscreen is out.

Hope they'll have main bugs fixed for 1.0 ..

Full screen is awesome (except for the fact that my favorite theme does a wierd thing with the caption buttons).
The quick loading themes is a plus too.

Basicly, I love all the changes to the UI.

As for rendering speed:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/
It rendered slowly but perfectly on .9.8
It renders quickly but flawed on .9.9
