================= WebKitGTK+ 1.1.10 ================= What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.10? - WebKitNetworkRequest has now GObject properties for its URI and the SoupMessage that backs it up. - Fix AtkText methods get_selection and get_n_selections to not use the global selection but only the selection that belongs to the object being used. - Fix a crasher when emitting the a11y signal 'text-caret-moved' in some situations with debug builds. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.9 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.9? - Scrolling once again received a lot of love, and many subtle problems and bugs were killed, and we now get correct behavior in acid2; a number of smaller improvements are in the queue. - Accessibility keeps gaining better support. On this release a lot of work was done on the AtkText interface implementation. - WebKitNetworkRequest now carries with it all the information regarding the request, not only the URI. This means you will no longer miss headers such as Referer when passing NetworkRequest objects from a callback to webkit_web_frame_load_request. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.8 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.8? - We found out that WebKitWebHistoryItems were being kept with a reference count of 2 instead of 1 as they should; nobody should be relying on that, but if you hit reference counting problems with items you were creating yourself, this is for you. - You can now copy images from the web page to the clipboard. - Improvements were made to the Plugin handling code. - Scroll events will now be correctly reported to web applications. - You can now embed arbitrary widgets as if it was a plugin, with the new "create-plugin-widget" signal. - The atk_text_get_text_{at,after,before}_offset methods are now implemented for all boundary types except LINE_AFTER and LINE_BEFORE. - The usual stream of minor fixes and improvements, as always. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.7 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.7? - This release includes a security fix: SVGList::insertItemBefore would not perform a bounds check on the index it was provided, potentially leading to a buffer overflow. - New frame loading properties supersede various load-* signals, and are also accessible in the WebView, for convenience, making this API saner. - JIT is now supported for X86-64 on Linux, and enabled by default! - A regression on webkit_web_view_load_string has been fixed, making it work correctly again when the document uses encodings which may use more than 1 byte per character. - Yet more work has been done to the ATK support, caret browsing support improvements in particular. - Filenames suggested by the Download functionality now correctly use the filename given by the host, if available. - Build fixes for IA64, and AMD64 - gtk-doc support has also improved, and you should now be able to cd WebKit/gtk/docs and type make docs, if you --enable-gtk-doc on configure, as long as you build with srcdir == builddir. - More crashes and other bugs fixed, and small improvements made under the hood. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.6 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.6? - Several ATK support additions and fixes got landed, with many roles being now implemented, providing better accessibility. - Caret browsing is now available. - Spelling check has been implemented using Enchant; the API is still lacking, and some of the functionality still needs to be improved, though. - Error reporting is now available, with default error pages, and API that allows the application to override the default behavior; localization of those pages is still not supported, but planned. - More crashes and other bugs fixed. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.5 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.5? - Added gtk-doc support to the build system. It is not fully integrated yet, so some manual tweaking is still needed. - Minimum required GTK+ version is now 2.10. - Added l10n support with gettext. Translations are stored in WebKit/gtk/po/. - Many improvements to the ATK support. It's good enough to provide a basic user experience with Accerciser now, but we'll keep improving it in further releases. - New printing API that allows applications to control and monitor the printing process, when requested by javascript or started by the user. - Many bugfixes. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4? - WebKitWebView gained uri and title properties, deprecating the usage of the title-changed signal. - Basic functionality for HTML5 media tags has been achieved; there are many unimplented methods, and rough edges still, though. - Font rendering received quite some love, with layouting, and memory handling fixes, and at least one less crash. - A new signal, new-window-policy-decision-requested, has been added to WebKitWebView, that makes it possible for the application to correctly decide what to do when new windows are requested. - A bug that made tooltips for consecutive links not update their location was fixed. - Several improvements were made to the HTTP backend, including making it more robust when talking to servers which send bad Content-Type headers. - WebKitWebView now uses the GtkBinding system to handle key events, which means that the user is now able to customize the keys used for various operations, and that many subtle bugs have been fixed. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.3 ================ The 1.1.3 release was just a quick bug fix release, because we made a mistake in library versioning. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2? - Added support for downloads: a new signal, 'download-requested', will be emitted by WebKit when a dowload is requested. On top of that, the download process has been encapsulated in a new object, WebKitDownload, which allows the user to control it or to start new downloads from the client side. - Added webkit_web_view_get_encoding to get the automatic encoding of the current page. - Added GObject properties for 'encoding' and 'custom-encoding'. - Added 'javascript-profiling-enabled' property to the WebInspector, which allows to enable and disable the profiling functionality. - Added API to create and add history items to WebKit's history. - Improved debugging support with WEBKIT_DEBUG environment variable. Most of the settings will only give useful output for debug builds, but WEBKIT_DEBUG=Network will log all HTTP traffic form libsoup to console. See WebCore/platform/gtk/LoggingGtk.cpp for all the options available. - Lots of bugfixes. ================ WebKitGTK+ 1.1.1 ================ What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.1? - ABI compatibility with 1.0.3 was broken, so you will need to recompile your application against 1.1.1 - Support for the CURL backend was dropped, libsoup is the only HTTP backend now. - webkit_get_default_session, to get the SoupSession used internally by WebKit. - 'create-web-view' signal, emitted when the creation of a new window is requested. - 'navigation-policy-decision-requested' signal, emitted when a navigation to another page is requested. - 'mime-type-policy-decision-requested' signal, emitted each time WebKit is about to show a URI with a given MIME type. - Support for the Web Inspector (see http://webkit.org/blog/197/web-inspector-redesign/) - HTTP authentication support, with optional gnome-keyring storage. - New load functions: webkit_web_view_open, webkit_web_view_load_uri and webkit_web_view_load_request. The old webkit_web_view_load_string and webkit_web_view_load_html_string are now deprecated. - webkit_web_view_reload_bypass_cache - webkit_web_view_{get,set}_custom_encoding, to override the encoding of the current page. - Improved stability and lots of bugfixes.
