This PAF is based off my 1.5.3 Dev 1 update to Travis Carrico's original work on the 1.5_Development_Test_1 release. The most current Ad-Block plugin for K-Meleon is included as a PAF plugin option.

Languages supported from the K-Meleon official locales package:

• English - tested
• French - tested
• German - tested
• Polish - should be available but I could not test as I do not have this codepage installed on my test systems
• Russian - should be available but I could not test as I do not have this codepage installed on my test systems
• Spanish - tested

The specific locale is installed based on the language you select during the PAF installation itself.

Testing Notes:

I have tested this release on the following platforms...

• Windows XP SP3 32bit
• Windows Server 2003 SP2 32bit
• Windows 7 32bit
• Windows Server 2008 64bit

I found the release to install and run just fine in the platforms listed above. I do NOT test on Vista and I never will - I leave that for others to try.

The issues with Vista/Win7/Win2008 on the 1.5.3 dev test were partially due to MSVC DLLs that needed to be packaged for the newer platforms and K-Meleon itself. According to the 1.5.4 K-Meleon release notes, this update helps address some of those issues of running on the newer Windows platforms.
