Seen this info, but I ask, why is FC4 stuck with 1.0.8 and 1.5 is out? Didn't I read that 1.0.x was to be dropped?



Can't answer the why question, but it's really easy to upgrade just by downloading the 1.5 tar file. It works fine here. If you're stuck on FC4, you might as well plan for Fedora provided updates going away.

I would guess that the "why" is the same "why" that major version updates and ABI changes for most packages aren't usually made as updates to existing releases - possible breakage for current users. I believe a number of plugins for Firefox 1.0.x won't work in 1.5.x for instance.
