En el Blog de Mozilla Johnathan Nightingale ha hecho oficial la noticia de que Firefox 11 retrasa su lanzamiento y por lo tanto, debemos esperar unos días más.
Every six weeks, another Firefox train leaves the station. This week we will release another update, but not on Tuesday as we typically do. There are two reasons for this:
- This Tuesday is Microsoft’s scheduled monthly update to Windows, and those updates have interacted badly with our updates before. We don’t have reason to expect specific problems with this month’s updates, but we’d rather take a day or two to understand the impact before we update all of our users.
- We’re also waiting for a report from ZDI about a security vulnerability that may affect this new version of Firefox. We expect to receive the report by end of day Monday. Once we can evaluate the vulnerability, we’ll know whether we need to include a fix in Firefox before the update is released.
We’ll update our post here once the latest version of Firefox is available to the world. In the meantime, if you want to get an advance peek at what’s coming in future versions of Firefox, check out one of our early release channels.
O sea, básicamente el retraso se debe a dos motivos:
- Que Microsoft lanza hoy una actualización para Windows en la que Firefox se podría ver afectada.
- Están esperando un informe de seguridad por parte de ZDI, por el cual verán si tienen que actualizar el código del navegador, para no lanzar la versión 11 hoy y que en menos de dos días, necesite una nueva actualización.
