Epiphany 2.24: still clinging to the gecko’s sticky toes

September 24, 2008 9:06 pm reinouts Announcements

The Epiphany team proudly presents a brand new release of every Gnome lovers’ pet web browser!

Version 2.24 doesn’t differ much from 2.22 feature-wise. The Webkit
switch is still in progress, so although it can be built with a Webkit
back end, Gecko is still the recommended rendering engine.

In this release, the address entry has improved logic which should
result in faster autocompletion lookups.

Bug fixes:

• Crash when showing download notification bubble (bug #536768)
• Window title copied the status bar (bug #524587)
• Fix RDF import (bug #523414)
• Proxy password prompt missing with gecko 1.9 (bug #539417)
• Password manager doesn’t remove passwords with gecko 1.9 (bug #539418)
• Printing scales incorrectly (bug #541168)
• do not activate the smart bookmark entry after middle-clicking paste
  text into it. (bug #378165)

• Address entry fixes:
  • substring suggestions (bug #151932)
  • unicode support (bug #343906)
  • diacritics in topic keywords (bug #328162)
  • completion on history items titles (bug #534218)

Enhancements:

• Update lock icon to a tango style one (bug #547936)
• Documentation updates (bug #552436, #552555, #534744)
• Enable complete-download sound with libcanberra
• revert special handling of double click in the address entry (bug #426349)

Enjoy!
