Classilla is a Gecko-based web browser for PowerPC-based classic Macintosh systems, essentially an updated descendant of the defunct Mozilla Application Suite by way of the Mac OS port maintained in the aborted (WaMCom ) project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://code.google.com/p/classilla/wiki/AAATheFAQ )〕 The name is a portmanteau of ''Classic'' (the classic Mac OS, as defined by the Classic Environment), and ''Mozilla''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://code.google.com/p/classilla/wiki/AAATheFAQ )〕 Like the Suite it is descended from, Classilla offers E-mail (POP/SMTP), Usenet (NNTP), Gopher, FTP and World Wide Web (HTTP) access, using a modified version of the Gecko layout engine called ''Clecko''. Classilla also includes its own versions of the DOM Inspector, Mozilla Composer and Venkman components; the former IRC ChatZilla component was removed in version 9.1. Classilla is the last updated major browser for classic Mac OS systems, and the only Mozilla-based browser for that environment in maintenance as well, as iCab 3's final update was 3.0.5 in January 2008,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.icab.de/dl.php )〕 Opera's Mac OS 9 support ended with version 6.03 on 20 August 2003,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/mac/603/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/mac/750/ )〕 Internet Explorer for Mac on the classic Mac OS ceased development with 5.1.7 in July 2003〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=171546&cid=14288661 )〕 and Mozilla itself ceased support in 2002 (see History). The primary maintainer is Cameron Kaiser. The project shares administration with TenFourFox, a fork of Mozilla Firefox for older versions of Mac OS X. ==History== Official support for Mac OS 9 (and Mac OS 8.6) in the Mozilla Application Suite ended with the release of Mozilla 1.2.1 in 2002,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=2756 )〕 coincident with Apple ending support for their legacy operating system. However, many enthusiasts discovered that Mozilla 1.3.x would still generally build and run on the old Mac OS with modification apart from its dependencies on CarbonLib, leading to builds such as (Unofficial Mozilla for Mac OS 9 ), (WaZilla 1.3f ), and (WaMCom ). Of these, WaMCom was the arguably longest maintained, with its final release on 23 July 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://wamcom.kuix.de )〕 In May 2009, Cameron Kaiser announced his intentions to start porting later Mozilla updates back to the 1.3.1-based version used in WaMCom,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://groups.google.com/group/macos9/msg/6a07eed79c646c4f )〕 christening his modified version as ''Classilla''. This first version, given the version number 9.0 to match Mac OS 9 (with subsequent numbers matching OS 9 version numbers),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://code.google.com/p/classilla/wiki/Roadmap )〕 was released on 30 June 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://groups.google.com/group/macos9/msg/3930d9c29037df2a )〕 The developers consider the project to be alpha quality software.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/releases/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Classilla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
