=================
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.
