sidki-config: Jan 14 2009 beta 2

[sidki3003]

Hi all, here is beta 2 of the next config.

ReadMe Wrote:This config should work with all Gecko Browsers, IE clones > 5.5, Opera > 6.x
(a few config features disabled), Netscape 4.x, NCSA Mosaic, and OffByOne
(many features disabled). Most of the time i use it with Firefox.

Five "Modes" are available that allow the user to choose the config's initial
behavior. They range from silent, conservative filtering (Minimal and Light
Modes) to informational and proactive (Advanced Mode).

The directory in which this ReadMe is located contains more files:
Documents, optional replacements for default files, and extras like
bookmarklets etc.. See "!content.html" for details. Don't miss the directions
for use, "Config_Control.txt". ;-)

The set is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
(included). You can find the latest version at:

maintaining and supporting parts of the config.
(Further co-developers wanted! ;-)

whenever/phoenix for providing webspace and other logistic support.

EARLIER THIS DECADE:
Mona Oliver for her support in various ways.

Joseph Daniel Sanchez for invaluable discussions and ideas.

JJoe for tracking down problems and helping with the docs.

A great number of ideas came from Paul Rupe's config set.

Jesse Ruderman's bookmarklets were a valuable resource for the Prox menu.

BetaNotes Wrote:This beta will use its own subdirectory, so you can run both, this and the
release version in parallel.

==========

Changes:
- Numerous rewrites and modifications of content-type and content sniffing
filters, in order to avoid filtering of unrelated (esp. binary) content.
- Cut back - or improve - the most troublesome (i.e., heuristic) filters.
- Various scattered changes.


Note:
Most filters aren't fully downwards compatible, so please don't mix them with
the release config.
