Hello,
As you may know we have been basing our browser support on Yahoo's A-
grade browser support.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/index.html
At the end of January they updated their A-grade support. We held off
updating right away. Now that 0.8 is out, it seems like a good point
to change.
Please see the updated browser support, on the wiki.

The previous support browsers can still be found on the wiki.
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Prior+Browser+Support
By comparing those two pages you can see that there are a couple of
minor updates and a major one.
1) Safari updated from 3.1 to 3.2
2) Opera updated from 9.5 to 9.6
3) Firefox 3 support dropped from Windows 2000 and Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)
4) Internet Explorer 8 added for Windows XP and Windows Vista
The important thing to note is that IE 8 has not yet been officially
released. Currently our stance will be to have IE 8 support for only
the final release and not any pre-release version. Meaning that we
will only start testing in IE 8 once it is officially released.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts, concerns, questions.
Thanks
Justin
