Epiphany update for GNOME 2.16 beta 2

Epiphany is getting in shape for the GNOME 2.16 release. This time around, no big new features are planned but a lot of work has gone into bugfixes, polish, and keeping up with changes in Mozilla and GTK. Notable improvements are that basic support for spell checking in HTML text forms is now working, and the Certificates extension is merged into the core.

The list below covers the changes and bugfixes from 2.15.3 until the current release. Thanks to all contributors!

Changes:

  • Spell check support using the gecko ‘spellchecker’ extension.
    No corrections context menu or language switching yet. The default
    dictionary is based on applicable locale names.

  • Add page security info dialogue from Certificates extension.
  • Drop libgnomeprint[ui] and use gtk printing. Add our options in
    a custom tab in the print dialogue. Print settings and page setup
    persist now.

  • Add methods to EphyNode to set typed properties. This change improves the
    Python API so it should be easy now to play with bookmarks.
    Add https and ftp local bookmarks. Based on a patch by Celso Pinto,
    bug 330679.
