The website’s appearance has changed again! Dorset6 (codenamed “Air”) has come to replace Dorset4 and to reduce the site’s data weight by a significant amount, by abandoning the use of bitmap graphics for layout and replacing them with some well-supported rules from the CSS 3 suite.
As a consequence, older browsers will not work with the website very well and might not display some neat details like rounded corners and shadows. Despite this, it’s still readable and mostly functional with Internet Explorer 6 and later. Both Chrome 11 and Firefox 4.0 provide all the required features to make this work properly, but there’s also some degree of compatibility with previous Chrome versions, some other versions of webkit-based browsers, and Firefox 3.5 (found in Debian 6.0) and later.
There were also a few structural changes around the Project section with this revision, making it hopefully more readable and concise.
As for the version number skip, Dorset5 was ultimately scrapped and recycled into Dorset6. Here’s what it looked like before the slaughter.
