Don't forget IE7 - judging from logfiles I had access to, almost 50% of
the IE6 users have already switched (due to the autoupdate).

Right, this is a good point (autoupdate). Right now we're not really supporting IE7 yet but we definitely need to add it.

Supporting IE 7 should be easy, though - except that some IE Tweaks
(don't know if you use any) should check for IE <=6 instead of just IE.

Apparently nothing is easy when it comes to browsers and especially IE... :-) We already have some JIRA issues for stuff that need fixing in IE7. Please also open new issues if you find anything not working in IE7.

So do we all agree that our minimal list of browsers we're supporting is:

* IE6

* IE7

* FF 1.5

* FF 2.0

If so I'll add some note on the web site (I'll add the JDK 1.5 requirements too at the same time - I'll create a prerequisites section). It also means that when we add some new feature or fix something we need to test it with all these browsers!

Thanks
