milestone for browser technology in speed, smaller size and full standards<br />
support. The revolutionary technology is designed to Internet-enable<br />
virtually any application, operating system or device. Netscape Gecko is<br />
the first software product from Netscape based on contributions from<br />
mozilla.org, the organization chartered with managing Netscape's open<br />
source initiative among thousands of Internet developers and Netscape.</p>
<p>"Today's delivery of the new Gecko browsing engine ushers in a new era of<br />
'write once, browse anywhere' because content developers can now write once<br />
to W3C standards, and their content is accessible from virtually any<br />
application OS and device," said Bob Lisbonne, senior vice president of<br />
client products at Netscape. "Gecko demonstrates Netscape's continuing role<br />
as the preeminent Internet technology innovator."</p>
<p>At the heart of future versions of Netscape Navigator and Netscape<br />
Communicator, the Gecko browsing engine offers consumers and developers<br />
several next-generation key benefits including:</p>
<p> Size: Netscape Gecko's browsing engine is smaller than 1.4 megabytes,<br />
bringing the promise of the Internet to a variety of smaller consumer<br />
devices that previously did not have the capacity to run a full-featured<br />
browser. Gecko fits on a single floppy disk.</p>
<p> Speed: The new Gecko engine is several times faster than previous<br />
versions of Internet browsing software.</p>
<p> Standards: Because Gecko is the first and only browser technology to<br />
fully implement the latest W3C standards, it enables developers to build<br />
rich, dynamic Web pages and Web-based applications that look and run as<br />
intended across a variety of platforms and devices. This saves developers<br />
time and money while allowing them to deliver state-of-the-art content.<br />
Gecko features full support for open Internet standards such as CSS, HTML4,<br />
DOM1, RDF and XML. In addition to supporting these standards in the layout<br />
engine, a component of Gecko enables the user interface of applications to<br />
be built using these standards.</p>
<p> Source: Gecko represents the first software release from Netscape and<br />
mozilla.org's open source initiative. By harnessing the talent of thousands<br />
of developers worldwide, mozilla.org has accelerated Internet software<br />
development even beyond Internet time. Additionally, independent software<br />
developers corporate Information Technology departments will now have<br />
complete access to the modular source code and freedom to freely license<br />
the source, make changes and build customized versions to accommodate their<br />
individual needs.</p>
<p>The Gecko engine was created to enable Internet browsing anywhere by<br />
delivering the power of the Internet to:</p>
<p> Virtually Any Application: Through Gecko, PC applications such as instant<br />
messaging and chat software, email and finance and gaming software can<br />
integrate Internet browsing. The same Gecko engine will also be at the<br />
heart of major new releases of Netscape Navigator and Netscape<br />
Communicator.</p>
<p> Virtually Any Operating System: Because it is cross-platform, the Gecko<br />
browsing engine will be able to run on multiple computing systems. Gecko<br />
will initially be available on Windows, Macintosh and UNIX, and will be<br />
easily portable to many additional operating systems.</p>
<p> Virtually Any Device: Gecko is designed to power numerous consumer<br />
devices including handheld phones, PDAs, fax machines and TV set top boxes.<br />
Through Gecko, access to the Web can become even more pervasive than it is<br />
today. Gecko can allow consumers to access stock quotes and make trades<br />
while on the go, or shop for the holidays all from the comfort of their<br />
living room using their favorite device.</p>
<p> Virtually Any Developer: Any software developer will have free access to<br />
Gecko's source code. This enables any developer to make customizations to<br />
Gecko, giving them maximum flexibility. The source code is available for<br />
download at <a href="http://www.mozilla.org" title="http://www.mozilla.org">http://www.mozilla.org</a>.</p>
<p>The developer preview of Netscape's Gecko browsing engine was made<br />
available today. Developers everywhere will be able to download and try the<br />
Gecko browsing engine at <a href="http://developer.netscape.com" title="http://developer.netscape.com">http://developer.netscape.com</a>. The final version<br />
of Netscape Gecko is expected to be available during the first half of<br />
1999.</p>
