The new 64bit builds are done. All 2.0.0.13 builds are on  Sourceforge and in the Repository.

I thought Swiftweasel 2.0.0.13 was done, But when I started the 64bit version of 2.0.0.13 it had pango enabled. The fonts were awful. I had reinstalled the build system a few weeks ago because of issues with the operating system. An old config was used by mistake. I quickly removed the 64bit versions from the repository and I am rebuilding them. They will be done by morning. If you got one in the short time it was avilable, sorry.
The 32bit versions are looking nice, so if you use an i386 version of Swiftweasel install it and enjoy.

I am currently working on Swiftweasel 2.0.0.13.

I have learned that Kempelton, the default theme for Swiftweasel will be updated for Firefox 3.0. The updated version will become the default theme for Swiftweasel 3.0 at some point . Click here to visit the website of Kempeltons creator.

Due to numerous bugs in the 3.0 Beta 4 I have started work on an update to beta 4. Beta 4.5 is looking good, test builds show no sign of the starting, bookmark, or home icon problems. Hopefully I can get tarballs up on Sourceforge today.
Mar 14, 2008
Builds of Swiftweasel 3.0 beta 4 are done. Tarballs are already on Sourceforge and debs are being uploaded to Sourceforge as I write this.

I have fixed the issues with Swiftdove 2.0.0.12 working on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) . I am currently building the tarballs, if all goes according to plan I should be releasing them late today or early tommarow.
Feb 28, 2008
I have the builds of Swiftdove 2.0.0.12 are done. I am uploading them as tarballs to Sourceforge as I write this. Deb files should be ready and in the repsitory late tonight or early this morning.
Feb 27, 2008
I am now building Swiftdove 2.0.0.12 test builds. Barring any problems the tarballs will be ready soon, then the deb's.

The Swiftweasel 3.0 beta 3 builds are up on Sourceforge in tar and deb format. They can only be ran on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) and up. This is because of build requirements from the Mozilla code. This may or may not be the case of the final release.
Feb 13, 2008
I am working on Swiftweasel 3 beta 3. It appears that changes to the code from Mozilla require pacakges that are not in Ubuntu Dapper Drake or Edgy Eft. This is going to slow production of the the packages as I now have to setup a 32bit Feisty Fawn build enviroment. I have a Feisty Fawn 64bit server so it will save some time.
This may also result in users running Dapper Drak
e/Edgy Eft being unable to run Swiftweasel 3.0 if the dependancies can not be worked around. If that ends up happening I will continue to build Swiftweasel 2.0 as long as possible. But the builds will be by request only. I will set up a forum topic for those requests only if the final release of Swiftweasel 3.0 can not be installed to Dapper Drake/Edgy Eft.

The 2.0.0.12 version of Swiftweasel is uploaded to the repositories and the tarballs are on Sourceforge. I will be uploding deb files to sourceforge overnight as I have a few things I need to do online and it takes up a lot of bandwidth. If you use a deb file you might want to give our repo a try. Details on it are on the wiki.
Feb 8, 2008
The 2.0.0.12 version of Swiftweasel is in the works, I have started compiling them this morning.

Thanks to everyone who posted comments on Wikipedia about keeping the Swiftweasel page there. The page is not going to be deleted. Im glad that Swiftweasel is used and recognized.

I recieved an email today that the Wikipedia entry for Swiftweasel has been proposed for deletion. If you edit Wikipedia and would like for it to stay please go there and cast a vote to keep the Swiftweasel page.
Thanks SticKK
