Details
User Interface
If you've customized your toolbar, the Google search field might not show up automatically. Use "View:Customize Toolbar" to add it.
The list of search engines can be easily customized, see "Help:Customizing Search Engines"
The bookmark sidebar has been replaced by an in-window bookmark organizer, allowing many more features and better management
Site "favicons" (small images specified by the web page that display in the bookmarks bar and menu) are removed when Camino crashes because Gecko invalidates the disk cache.
Activate type-ahead find by typing a "/" when the content area has focus. As you type, the nearest text matching the current find string will be highlighted. To find the next occurrence, use "Edit:Find again". To cancel type-ahead find, press Escape.
Migrating from Camino 0.7
The user profile has moved to ~/Library/Application Support/Camino and no longer contains a nested "salted" (xxxxx.slt) profile directory.
The profile will be migrated at first run and the original profile will not be touched. The disk cache will not be copied, but cookies and bookmarks will be.
By default, the dock menu shows the contents of the "Top Ten" bookmark container and will appear empty when upgrading from 0.7 (which did not have this container). Visiting web pages will populate the container and the menu.

Known 10.3-only issues
A bug in 10.3 causes text in IFRAMEs to "float" as the window is resized and not repaint correctly when scrolled. This will be fixed in a future version of MacOS X.
A bug in 10.3 can cause multiple bookmarks to appear on the Bookmark Bar or Desktop when dragged from Camino. No ETA from Apple on a fix.
Known issues
Shockwave Director content displays at the wrong location in the window, if hardware rendering is enabled.
Typing and dragging in Java applets does not work correctly.
The Windows Media Player plugin is not compatible with Camino.
If you try to open Camino AppleScript dictionary, say from Script Editor, youll get an error. To work around this, open the application package, and remove the Localized.rsrc file in Contents/Resources/English.lproj. This will, however, prevent Shockwave Director content from loading so we recommend you do this on a copy of the application.
While the worst issues from 0.7 have been resolved, some issues remain when typing in non-Roman languages
FC 1 is here for you to test and give the developers feedback.
