Wanna learn to swim, fast? Jump in the deep end. Wanna update LCD for Firefox 1.5? Just put it on so i’m forced to fix it or live with the bustage.
All the everyday stuff should work—i can get along in Flock just fine. But the Options window doesn’t work at all. There may be one or two other big things, but other than that it’s just gonna be bits of polish here and there. The only thing preventing me from diving into the water is the few can’t-live-without extensions that haven’t been updated for 1.5 yet. I seem to remember there was something you could run old extensions through to make them compatible, but haven’t been able to find it, if there was such a thing.

[...] The Flock crew just put out their first new release in a couple months. I haven’t touched Flock in a while since i shifted my focus to the more tangible (and easier) updating of LCD for Firefox 1.5. So though it may look like nothing’s going on over here, almost all of the work that goes into fixing up the Firefox 1.5 version can be translated to Flock. After that, when Flock is standing on a more sturdy theme, i’ll be able to more easily jump into the heavy customiztion for Flock-specific features. Not to mention that in its current state, Flock still has bugs that limit certain theming endeavors; attempting to hack on them now would almost certainly mean having to redo them post-fix. [...]
