Mike Shroepfer, Mozilla VP of Technology announced today a draft plan for Firefox and the Mozilla platform beyond the upcoming Firefox 3 (and attached Mozilla platform 1.9) release next June.
Most notable is Firefox 3.1, the next update to the Firefox 3 branch. It would add a few features that were not ready to ship in Firefox 3 development time frame. Among the most relevant:
* Support for the video
* Support for cross-site XMLHttpRequests
* More power for Firefox 3s location bar.
* More performance tuning, better system integration.
* Native JSON DOM binding, a powerful feature for web developers.
Firefox 4 is targeted for late 2009 (back to year long development cycles) and would introduce Mozilla2, an extensive update to the Mozilla platform to feature highlights like ActionMonkey, the merge of Mozillas JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey) and Tamarin, Adobes JavaScript virtual machine open-sourced in late 2006.
