General
-------
These are the final betas of a project sponsored by Mensys to provide
full-featured native printing support in the Mozilla apps. They offer
better print quality and access to all printer features while using
less memory. Mozilla's built-in PDF and Postscript features remain
available for use.

New / Changed
-------------
* Printing from mail and news windows now works as expected - you no
longer have to open Print Preview to print.

* The built-in Postscript support is now able to print in Landscape
mode; it also uses the selected driver's DPI setting when needed.

* The outdated Readme.txt file has been replaced by an up-to-date and
detailed ReadMe.OS2 that applies to all 3 Mozilla apps. It offers
instructions on how to use the new printing features and adds a
brief Troubleshooting guide.

* A bug which prevented some menu items from being highlighted when
using the keyboard has been fixed.

Notes
-----
* If you've been printing using the built-in Postscript generator but
would like to return to using your native PS driver, don't forget to
change "print.os2.postscript.use_builtin" from "true" to "false".
See ReadMe.OS2 for details.

* Postscript output from the native PS driver may not be suitable for
conversion to PDF. Instead, have the app generate the PDF itself,
or use the built-in PS feature. See ReadMe.OS2 for details.

Support
-------
Community support for these betas and all Mozilla apps is available
through the newsgroups 'mozilla.dev.ports.os2' or 'comp.os.os2.apps'.
Messages posted to other forums may not be seen by the developers.
