Comments Off on Epiphany 1.9.6 released
What is it ?
Epiphany is the GNOME web browser, based on the mozilla rendering engine. It aims to be simple and easy to use.
Epiphany 1.9.6 is the sixth release in the development series leading up to GNOME 2.14. In this release, the Add Bookmark dialog is even sexier than it already was and the NetworkManager extension has been integrated into the core.

- libnm-glib be-gone! Use NetworkManager directly via DBUS, by
importing the excellent net-monitor extension directly into
Epiphany. Code by Jean-François Rameau.

Due to time limitations the Epiphany 1.9.5.1 release wasn’t announced on this blog. To make it up, here’s a screenshot of the new merged Add Bookmark/Bookmark Properties window, that suggests topics based on existing topic combinations:
Please test it out and let us know your feedback!
In the future, we hope to offer suggested topics based on more sources, such as existing del.icio.us tags for the bookmarked URL.
Other notable changes are new buttons for zooming in and out on the default toolbar, and the dependency on Bonobo has been removed in favour of DBUS. Read the full announcement in the list archive, download here. A known bug is that context menus on the toolbar don’t work, this has already been fixed in CVS.
Enjoy!
