The final version of Classilla has been released and the suite is no longer supported. Classilla was the last updated major browser for classic Mac OS systems, and the only Mozilla-based browser for that environment most recently in maintenance as well, as iCab 3's final update was 3.0.5 in January 2008, Opera's Mac OS 9 support ended with version 6.03 on 20 August 2003, Internet Explorer for Mac on the classic Mac OS ceased development with 5.1.7 in July 2003 and Mozilla itself ceased support in 2002 (see History). Classilla also includes its own versions of the DOM Inspector, Mozilla Composer and Venkman components the former IRC ChatZilla component was removed in version 9.1.
Like the Suite it is descended from, Classilla offers E-mail ( POP/ SMTP), Usenet ( NNTP), Gopher, FTP and World Wide Web ( HTTP) access, using a modified version of the Gecko layout engine called Clecko. The name is a portmanteau of Classic (the classic Mac OS, as defined by the Classic Environment), and Mozilla. Mozilla Public License, GNU General Public License, others (see about: within the browser)Ĭlassilla is a Gecko-based Internet suite for PowerPC-based classic Macintosh operating systems, essentially an updated descendant of the defunct Mozilla Application Suite by way of the Mac OS port maintained in the aborted WaMCom project.
