Mozilla 1.6 has been released. Read the release notes and the rough changelog. New features and important fixes:

• One of the most requested Mozilla Mail features, an option to separate the Recipient and Sender columns in the thread pane, has been implemented.
• Another frequently requested MailNews feature, a preference for placing the user's signature above the quoted text, has been added.
• Remove from server after x days has been implemented for POP3 mail accounts.
• vCard support has been added to Mozilla Mail.
• Mozilla 1.6 includes a new cross-platform NTLM authentication mechanism. This feature brings NTLM authentication to the non-Windows Mozilla users for the first time and also delivers more robust and featureful NTLM support to users of older Windows versions.
• Ask Jeeves searching has been added to Mozilla 1.6.
• Translate Page functionality has returned to this release of Mozilla.
• The View Source window now has reload functionality.
• Several security-related bugs were fixed in 1.6
• Chatzilla 0.9.48 has been merged, which adds RPL_ISUPPORT support, halfop mode support, and properly masks key and password dialogs.
• Many crash bugs have been fixed.
• One step closer to the kitchen sink, about:about has been implemented. Typing about:about in the address field will give the user a nice list of available about:s.
