Firefox 3.0.5 for OS/2 がリリースされていた。たまにはOS/2 版に必要なシステム要件などを書いてみたい。

================================================================================

                                                System Requirements on OS/2

================================================================================

- This release requires the C runtime DLLs (libc-0.6.3) from
    ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip
    in order to run. You can unpack them in the same directory as the
    Firefox executable or somewhere else in your LIBPATH.

- Minimum hardware requirements
    + 400 MHz Pentium class processor
    + 128 MiB RAM plus 128 MiB free swap space
    + 40 MiB free harddisk space for installation
        plus storage space for disk cache
    + Graphics card and driver capable of displaying more than 256 colors

- Recommended hardware for acceptable performance
    + 1.0 GHz processor
    + 512 MiB RAM plus 128 MiB free swap space
        NOTE: Firefox's performance and stability increases the more physical
        RAM is available.

- Software requirements
    + Installation on a file system supporting long file names
        (i.e. HPFS or JFS but not FAT)
    + OS/2 Warp 4 with Fixpack 15 or later (Warp 3 may work but is unsupported)
    + MPTS version 5.3
    + TCP/IP version 4.1
    + INETVER: SOCKETS.SYS=5.3007, AFOS2.SYS=5.3001, AFINET.SYS=5.3006
        NOTE: Do not attempt to use MPTS & TCP/IP versions below these INETVER
        levels. Although Firefox may seem to start and run normally with older
        stacks, some features Firefox needs are not implemented correctly in
        older MPTS versions, which may result in crashes and data loss.

    + Convenience Pack 2 or eComStation 1.0 or later meet these requirements
        out of the box.

    + Only Java plugins of version 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 are supported.
        (IBM Java 1.3.1 or earlier will crash the browser!)

- Useful optional software
    The following packages enable additional features in Firefox. Download
    locations are listed below with a detailed description of the features.
    + Remote Workplace Server (RWS), version 0.8
    + Doodle's Screen Saver (DSSaver), version 1.8 or later

================================================================================

Shiretoko 使いなのでテストするつもりはなし。ところで12月中旬をもって Firefox 2 のサポートが終了する。主要プラットフォームでは手違いによるとはいえ 2.0.0.20 までバージョンが進んだが、OS/2 版は 2.0.0.17(25-Sep-2008 14:53 9.8M) で終了となった。長らく IBM Mozilla Team 以来 公私ともに Warpzilla に関わり続けてきて、Firefox 2 for OS/2 のメンテナンスを行ってきた Mike Kaply さん、どうもお疲れさまでした・・・と思ったら、彼の blog: Too Many Life Events に何やらコメントが。

OS/2 - I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get rid of this one. I’ll continue to do builds as I can, and once I’m in my new office, I’ll setup the build machine to do nightly build again. If there is someone out there that wants to step up and takeover doing official builds, I’d be more than happy to give them the machine to do it with. But I will continue to do this in the foreseeable future.

まだまだOS/2と関わりを持ち続けていく意向はあるようで、結構なことです。
