Netscape Increments Browsers


Netscape Communications has released version 4.04.1 of both Netscape Communicator and the stand-alone version of Netscape Navigator, both of which are now available for free (see "Free Netscape" in TidBITS-414). The release corrects a possible crash when the program loads preferences, does a better job of retaining MIME handlers between sessions, fixes a problem with Communicator’s spelling checker truncating messages, and includes other cosmetic improvements and bug fixes. Versions with strong (128-bit) encryption are available to users in the U.S. and Canada.
