K-Meleon Portable 1.5.4 Development Test 1

Pat.Ord - March 12, 2010 - 11:07pm

K-Meleon Portable 1.5.4 Development Test 1
Application: K-Meleon

Category: Internet
Description: K-Meleon is an extremely fast, customizable, lightweight web browser for the Win32 (Windows) platform based on the Gecko layout engine (the rendering engine of Mozilla).

Download K-Meleon Portable 1.5.4 Development Test 1 (English) [6.3MB download / 18.7MB installed]
(MD5: a3dc7fd950637da82b4863545aff8c97)

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.

Release Notes:

1.5.4 Development Test 1 (2010-03-12)

  • K-Meleon distribution updated to 1.5.4 final
  • updated PAF configuration files to the 1.0 spec

Tried it on Win7 64bit - works OK. Didn't take a regshot, but otherwise no problems. I like it. It does look very clean, simple and fast! Way to go!

K-meleon portable 1.6.0 beta

eolo - January 6, 2012 - 2:11pm

Since 2010-12-12 there is a portable beta version of K-meleon 1.6.0. Perhaps it is easier to make this one fit to portableapps standards (apt to the launcher, update etc.)

Regards!

K-Meleon is a dead and insecure app and should no longer be used to connect to the general internet. It's got over a year of unpatched security vulnerabilities sitting in it. With browsers, you simply have to stick with legit, regularly-updated software to ensure you stay safe.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
