Orca is going to be merged with Avant in 2011 so there probably won't be any more updates for Orca. See here for more on Avant 2011: http://forum.avantbrowser.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28680

nice.

So am I correct in assuming that it will be mostly Gecko-based (ie like Orca) with only IE-base when absolutely required? Also, any ETA on this Avant 2011. I loved the old avant, switch to Orca when Avant fell sick, and am looking forward to having the best of both worlds.


PS: While I'm here, I would mention that you guys should devote some man-hours to updating your wikipedia page information. Its noticeably dated. Also, there is a table comparing browser features somewhere on wikipedia as well. You might want to update that table too, as I know of atleast a handful of people in my own circle that have used that page for information on which browser to choose. Ofcourse, how much impact it would have on the whole market is hard to assess, but guessing that it's Wikipedia, one of the most frequented net sites, I'm guessing it's worth the effort to update the articles.

Enjoy.
