Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1 released
Software giant Microsoft has announced the release of the English version of Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1, and working to launch the localized versions by 12 September 2006.
With this release, Microsoft is strongly encouraging web developers, enthusiasts and IT professionals to finalize their testing and ready their environments for the final availability of IE7. Interested testers can download the “IE7 RC1″ beta version from the company’s website.
Microsoft announced that they may come out with another release candidate version before the final launch, depending upon the feedback from the users.
They continued, “Were still on track to ship the final IE7 release in the fourth calendar quarter.”
The RC1 build includes enhancements in performance, stability, security, and application compatibility. With this build, Microsoft has also made improvements to the fit and finish of the user interface, completed CSS platform changes, added language support and included an auto-uninstall feature in Setup, which automatically uninstalls prior betas of IE7 making installing the new build even easier.
IE7 RC1 is available in English, and all localized versions including Arabic, Finnish, German, and Japanese as well as the French and Spanish versions which will be available for the first time.
The company has already confirmed that they would be delivering the final version of the software as a high priority update to the general public to make sure that they are using the most updated and secure version of this web browser application.
As previously announced, Microsoft will also distribute the final Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update via Automatic Updates soon after the final version is released for Windows XP later this year.
