How quickly will websocket in the dev versions of Firefox and Chrome be moved to the official releases?

Question

I realize that this is hard/maybe impossible to estimate - but any estimation, even plus or minus 6 months, would be nice.

Answer 1

Can't comment on Chrome, but Mozilla is releasing Firefox 3.6 now (without web sockets), and it's not a feature likely to be included in minor releases (3.6.x), so the earliest release it is likely to ship in is the next major release (assuming the implementation is finished soon).

When that release might happen is probably not known even among the Mozilla leads, but probably no sooner than 6 months (there wasn't even an alpha released). My guess is 10.2010 ± 4 months.

(Of course, this is pure speculation and you shouldn't use this other than for your personal amusement.)
