In place of an [[XUL]]-based user interface used by most Mozilla-based applications, Camino uses Mac-native [[Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]] [[Application programming interface|API]]s, although it does not use native text boxes. As Camino's aim is to integrate as well as possible with the Macintosh OS, it uses the [[Aqua (GUI)|Aqua user interface]] and integrates a number of Mac OS X services and features such as the [[Apple Keychain|Keychain]] for password management and [[Bonjour (software)|Bonjour]] for scanning available bookmarks across your local network. Other notable features include an integrated [[pop-up ad|pop-up]] blocker, [[tabbed document interface|tabbed browsing]], and support for [[open standard]]s.{{specify}} The browser is developed by the Camino Project, a community organization. [[Mike Pinkerton]] has been the technical lead of the Camino project since [[Dave Hyatt]] moved to the [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] team at [[Apple Computer]] in mid-2002. The latest stable release is '''1.6.1''', released on [[May 20]], [[2008]]. Camino 1.6.1 runs on Mac OS 10.3.9 or later, but Camino 1.0.6 is available for Mac OS 10.2 users. ==History== In late [[2001]] [[Mike Pinkerton]] and [[Vidur Apparao]] started a project within [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]] to prove that Gecko could be embedded in a Cocoa application. In early [[2002]] [[Dave Hyatt]], one of the co-creators of [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]] (then called Phoenix), joined the team and built Chimera, a small, lightweight browser [[wrapper pattern|wrapper]], around their work. The first downloadable build of Chimera 0.1 was released on [[February 13]] [[2002]]. The early releases became popular due to their fast page-loading speeds (as compared with then-dominant Mac browser, [[Microsoft]]'s [[Internet Explorer for Mac|Internet Explorer version 5]]). Many claimed it was the fastest Web browser on the Mac, although it was not as feature-complete as its competitors. Hyatt was hired by Apple Computer in mid-[[2002]] to start work on what would become Safari. Meanwhile, the Chimera developers got a small team together within Netscape, with dedicated development and [[Quality assurance#Quality assurance|QA]], to put together a Netscape-branded technology preview for the January 2003 [[Macworld Conference & Expo|Macworld Conference]]. However, two days before the show, [[America Online|AOL]] management decided to abandon the entire project. Despite this setback, a skeleton crew of QA and developers released Camino 0.7 on [[March 3]] [[2003]]. The name was changed from Chimera to Camino for legal reasons. Because of its roots in [[Greek mythology]], [[Chimera (mythology)|''Chimera'']] has been a popular choice of name for [[hypermedia]] systems. One of the first graphical web browsers was called Chimera,<ref>[http://www.chimera.org/ Chimera<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and researchers at the [[University of California, Irvine]], have also developed a complete hypermedia system of the same name.<ref>[http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/chimera/ Chimera 2.0<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> [[Wiktionary:camino|''Camino'']] is [[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "path", as well as "I walk", and the name was chosen to continue the "[[Netscape Navigator|Navigator]]" motif.<ref>[http://www.caminobrowser.org/support/faq/#about_name Camino. Documentation. FAQ<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> While version 0.7 was primarily a Netscape-driven release kept afloat at the end by [[open source software|open source]], version 0.8 was, according to lead developer Pinkerton, "a triumph of open source and open process. People from all around the world helped with patches, QA, bug triage, localization, artwork, and [[technical evangelist|evangelism]]." In March 2005, Camino was moved from the [[Mozilla Foundation]]'s mozilla.org to The Camino Project's caminobrowser.org.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://caminobrowser.org/blog/2005/#welcometo|last=Sidler|first=Samuel|title=Welcome to the New Camino Project Website!|publication=Camino. Blog.}}</ref> In September 2005, Pinkerton accepted a position at [[Google]] where he will work closely with Google's Firefox team and continue to work on Camino during his [[Google#Innovation_time_off|"Twenty percent" time]]. Camino 1.0, released on [[February 14]], [[2006]], was the first browser of the Mozilla family to appear as a [[universal binary]], thanks largely to the efforts of [[Mark Mentovai]], another of the Camino developers. ===Version history=== {| class="wikitable" |- !0.1 |[[February 13]], [[2002]] |- !0.2 |[[April 6]], [[2002]] |- !0.4 |[[July 24]], [[2002]] |- !0.5 |[[September 9]], [[2002]] |- !0.6 |[[November 5]], [[2002]] |- !0.7 |[[March 6]], [[2003]] |- !0.8 |[[June 25]], [[2004]] |- !1.0 |[[February 14]], [[2006]] |- !1.5 |[[June 5]], [[2007]] |- !1.6 |[[April 17]], [[2008]] |} ==See also== {{portal|Free software|Free Software Portal Logo.svg}} *[[Browser timeline]] *[[Comparison of web browsers]] *[[Correo]] - an [[e-mail client]] based on [[Mozilla Thunderbird]] which shares similar design goals with Camino *[[List of web browsers]] ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.caminobrowser.org Camino - Mozilla power, Mac style] - Project's Home *[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6765603919277760697 Mike Pinkerton talks about Camino] - "Open Source Developers at Google" Speaker Series *[http://web.mac.com/reinholdpenner/iWeb/Software/CaminoKnight.html CaminoKnight] - Automates the process of downloading and installing the latest Camino [[Nightly build]] and creates a backup copy of the previously installed build. *[http://caminol10n.mozdev.org Caminol10n project] - translating Camino to other languages *[http://arstechnica.com/columns/mac/mac-20040923.ars Interview with Camino project head Mike Pinkerton] ([[Ars Technica]], [[September 22]] [[2004]]) *[http://web.mac.com/reinholdpenner/iWeb/Software/CaminIcon.html CaminIcon] - Allows you to change Camino's user interface to various preset themes. *[http://www.pimpmycamino.com/ PimpMyCamino] - User interface add-ins and tools for extended functionality *[http://www.caminobrowser.org/releases/1.0.6/ Camino 1.0.6] - The last stable release for Mac OS 10.2 users *[http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/camino Portable Camino] - packaged as [[portable application]] for external drive. {{Web browsers}} {{Mozilla projects}} {{Mac OS X web browsers}} {{FLOSS}} [[Category:Mac OS X web browsers]] [[Category:Mozilla]] [[Category:Gopher Clients]] [[Category:Free web browsers]] [[Category:Portable software]] [[ca:Camino]] [[cs:Camino]] [[de:Mozilla Camino]] [[es:Camino (navegador)]] [[fr:Camino]] [[gl:Camino]] [[ko:카미노]] [[it:Camino (browser)]] [[nl:Camino (browser)]] [[ja:Camino]] [[pl:Camino (przeglądarka internetowa)]] [[pt:Mozilla Camino]] [[ru:Camino]] [[simple:Camino]] [[fi:Camino]] [[sv:Camino]] [[th:คามิโน]] [[uk:Camino]] [[zh:Camino]]
