Is Australis due out in the next version?

Had swapped back to using the default version from nightly in anticipation, but it seems that was a bit premature on my part.

It goes Nightly -> Aurora -> Beta -> Release

Well, there's also stuff that you can't see in the "release notes".

I found that Firefox 27 had huge speed improvements in canvas 2D compared to Firefox 26, at least in Linux without hardware accelerated canvas.

I couldn't find anything related to that in 27's release notes, sooo (still happy though!).

Yes. Australis will ship in Firefox 29, which will be pushed to the Firefox Beta channel this week:
