"Straight from the jaws of Slashdot, Netscape 7.2 will be released August 3, 2004. This finally puts down the rumors on whether or not a new version of Netscape was in the works. Who knows maybe Netscape 7.2 will an exciting new look, or maybe even some new features.

Following up a story from May, linux2004 writes for those who thought Netscape was dead after firing all their staff and spinning Mozilla off into a non-profit foundation, then think again. It was announced a while back that Netscape would continue releases of their browser suite and now the release date has been confirmed as August 3rd as a free download or by buying a CD. I don't think it'll take the attention away from Firefox but will be a decent upgrade for those using Netscape 7.1. The 7.2 release will be based on Mozilla 1.7 and will probably have the usual Netscape additions."
