Software giant Microsoft let industry professionals begin testing its next-generation Internet Explorer (IE) web browser due for release by the end of the year.
An "IE7 RC1" beta version of the world's most widely used web browser could be
downloaded free of charge at the Redmond, Washington, company's website.
"Depending on your feedback, we may post another release candidate" of Internet
Explorer 7, Microsoft general manager Dean Hachamovitch wrote in a weblog.
"Were still on track to ship the final IE7 release in the fourth calendar
quarter."
Microsoft said in a release that it was "confident that developers and designers
who optimize their websites and applications with this beta version will be
compatible with the final version when it is released later this year."
The new IE was designed with improved performance, stability, security, and
application compatibility, according to the company.
An English-based version beta IE was released on Thursday and would be followed in
September by releases supporting other languages.
"Well continue with Arabic, Finnish, German, and Japanese as before but also add
French and Spanish versions with this release," Hachamovitch wrote.
Microsoft said it planned to release the final IE version as a high-priority
update. |
