| WebKitGTK+ 1.3.4 |
| ================ |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.4? |
| |
| - Fixes to compile with latest GTK+ changes. |
| - File reader/writer APIs are now enabled. |
| - The javascript JIT is now enabled by default on ARM. |
| - Clipboard data is no longer lost when the process exists. |
| - Image DnD support. |
| - GSettings support to save/restore Web Inspector settings. |
| - Fullscreen support for HTML5 media player. |
| - Many other bugfixes. |
| |
| ================ |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.3.3 |
| ================ |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.3? |
| |
| - Fixes to compile with latest GTK+ 2.90.x. |
| - Add support for dropping content in WebKitWebViews. |
| - Many other bugfixes. |
| |
| ================ |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.3.2 |
| ================ |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.2? |
| |
| *** This release is an ABI break *** |
| |
| The library has been renamed to libwebkitgtk, so you'll need to |
| recompile your applications when upgrading to 1.3.2. |
| |
| - Add support for GTK+ 3.x. A new configure flag, --with-gtk, has |
| been added, which allows to control which GTK+ version you want to |
| build against. The default value is '2.0', for GTK+ 2.x |
| support. With '3.0' the library will be compiled against GTK+ 3.x |
| (2.90.4 or newer required). In the 3.x mode the .pc file has been |
| renamed from webkit-X.X.pc to webkitgtk-X.X.pc, so you'll need to |
| update your autotools setup accordingly. |
| - Many fixes for the DOM bindings, including support to dispatch |
| events to any Node through webkit_event_target_dispatch_event. |
| - Added a 'inner-node' property to WebKitHitTestResult, carrying the |
| DOM node where the hit test happened. |
| - Many DnD fixes, including a fix for the infamous hang-of-death |
| while dragging the mouse. |
| - Support for <input type="range">. |
| - Many other bugfixes. |
| |
| ================ |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.3.1 |
| ================ |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.1? |
| |
| - Initial support for GObject DOM bindings. Present in this release |
| is a substantial subset of the basic DOM APIs (Document, HTML |
| elements, Node, etc) including access to the DOM events through |
| GObject signals. Keep in mind that all the APIs are still |
| unstable, and will probably be subject to changes before the next |
| stable release. |
| - Add webkit_web_back_forward_list_clear, to completely clear the |
| BackForward list. |
| - Lots of improvements in DOM clipboard and drag-drop access. |
| - Add support for GTK+ key themes. |
| - Significant improvements in a11y, including improved role support |
| and many bugfixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.90 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.90? |
| |
| - Display server side messages during HTTP auth, since they |
| sometimes contain important information for the authentication |
| process. |
| - Reduce creation time for WebKitWebView widgets by reusing |
| dictionary structs used for spell-checking instead of creating a |
| new one for each instance. |
| - Implement WebKitWebView::geolocation-policy-decision-requested, |
| emitted when a frame inside the WebView wants to get its position |
| through geolocation. |
| - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-spatial-navigation to control |
| whether Spatial Navigation is enabled or not. Spatial Navigation |
| allows the user to move through the elements in a page using only |
| the keyboard; this is similar to caret browsing, but with less |
| focus on accessibility since instead of presenting the exact |
| layout of the page to the user a more "logical" way of browsing |
| through its contents is allowed. A specification of this feature |
| can be seen at |
| http://www.w3.org/TR/WICD/#current-focus-point-algorithm |
| - Add a new build option, --enable-fast-mobile-scrolling. At the |
| moment this only disables fixed backgrounds when there are no |
| other fixed elements in a page, since they generally make |
| scrolling very slow and thus are a big burden in some mobile |
| environments. |
| - GTK+ Input Method support has received a big overhaul, and most of |
| them should work pretty well now. |
| - All known redraw issues in the plugin support (especially with the |
| Java plugin) have been fixed. |
| - Various fixes to the MediaPlayer code to improve responsiveness |
| and avoid lagging on position reporting. |
| - Lots of bugfixes and other improvements. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.22 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.22? |
| |
| - Preliminary support for Java plugins. Basic functionality is |
| there, but there are still a few rough edges. Also newly |
| introduced is a new WebKitWebSetting, 'enable-java-applet', which |
| controls whether WebKit will recognize the non-standard <applet> |
| tag. |
| - Add WebKitWebSettings::auto-resize-window; when enabled, WebKit |
| will act upon the DOM methods that change the size and/or position |
| of the window containing a WebView (window.{moveTo, resizeTo, |
| moveBy, resizeBy}). |
| - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-file-access-from-file-uris; when |
| enabled, each file:// URI will be assigned its own security |
| domain. |
| - Lots of bugfixes, especially in the PageCache support. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.21 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.21? |
| |
| - New custom-made GStreamer source element that uses the WebCore |
| network layer to download media data; this makes sure any headers |
| and cookies will automatically get added when making requests. |
| - WebKit will now let libsoup know who the first party for a given |
| message is, making it possible to implement accept/deny policies in |
| Soup. |
| - The usual stream of fixes, and improvements |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.20 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.20? |
| |
| - Fixes to the HTML5 Media Player infrastructure to satisfy sites |
| that require cookies, and Referer to be sent; this makes |
| WebKitGTK+ able to support the new HTML5 support added to Youtube, |
| and Vimeo, for instance. |
| - Windowless plugin support is finally here, making it possible to |
| get plugins to behave on various web pages. |
| - The usual stream of fixes, and improvements |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.19 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.19? |
| |
| - Improvements to AtkText implementation |
| - RGBA colormap support has been added |
| - Improvements to the HTML5 media player |
| - Crashes related to clipboard handling, which were hitting many |
| users and seemed to be random have been fixed |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.18 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.18? |
| |
| - Add methods to set and get a cache model in WebKitGTK+. We offer |
| two possibilites: document viewer (no caches are used) and browser |
| (similar to the previous defaults). |
| - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-page-cache. Controls whether the |
| Page Cache is enabled or not. For details about what the page |
| cache is and does see |
| http://webkit.org/blog/427/webkit-page-cache-i-the-basics/ |
| The page cache is disabled by default, since the gtk+ port still |
| presents some small bugs when it's enabled. |
| - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-site-specific-quirks. Controls |
| whether a series of page-specific workarounds are used by WebKit. |
| - Use Content-Encoding support available in libsoup 2.28.2 and |
| newer. |
| - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-default-context-menu. Controls |
| whether webkitgtk+ will show a default context menu on right click |
| in the view. Note that even with the property set to FALSE right |
| clicks can be handled by the page, either by actions or by |
| ad-hoc in-page context menus. |
| - Make the WebKitWebView::icon-loaded signal carry a string with the |
| favicon's URI. This is an API break, but the signal already had a |
| broken signature and was useless anyway, so it's extremely |
| unlikely that anybody was using it. Also, add the 'icon-uri' |
| property to the view, holding the URI for its current favicon. |
| - Respect Content-Disposition header in downloads (fixes downloads |
| in gmail). |
| - Various accessibility improvements. |
| - Many bugfixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.17 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.17? |
| |
| - New APIs to show and close the web inspector and to inspect an |
| element at the given coordinates. |
| - New property, WebKitWebSettings::tab-key-cycles-through-elements, |
| controls whether TAB is simply interpreted as another keystroke or |
| is used to cycle through the elements in a page. |
| - Many a11y improvements. |
| - The usual amount of random bugfixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.16 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.16? |
| |
| - Add optional support to generate the gobject-introspection |
| gir/typelib files. Enable with --enable-introspection, it's off by |
| default. |
| - Add a new load status value, WEBKIT_LOAD_FAILED, emitted when |
| there's an error during the load process. This is the natural |
| companion to WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED, which is only emitted when the |
| load finished succesfuly. |
| - Ensure that keyboard events filtered by GtkIMContext still create |
| the proper DOM events. |
| - Many a11y improvements: caret browsing fixes, expose heading |
| levels, more accessible roles supported, more work in correctly |
| showing the element's ancestry list, improved support for lists, |
| etc. |
| - Many improvements to our media support. |
| - Add a new setting to control DOM pastes |
| (document.execCommand("Paste")) |
| - Many, many bugfixes all over the place. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15? |
| |
| - New API to get the subresources from a WebKitWebDataSource. This |
| provides a way of accessing all the resources that compose the |
| view to which the data source is attached. |
| - A new function, webkit_web_view_get_hit_test_result, which allows |
| to do a 'hit test' on the coordinates specified by a mouse |
| event. A hit test provides context information about that point in |
| the document, like whether it's an image, a link, an input box, |
| etc. |
| - Our DumpRenderTree implementation now supports eventSender, which |
| allows us to run many more LayoutTests and make WebKitGTK+ more |
| stable and feature-complete. |
| - JSNES runs 6x faster: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/48573 |
| - The usual small improvements and bugfixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.14 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.14? |
| |
| - New API has been added to WebKitWebFrame to allow applying |
| scrollbars policy as requested by web applications to the main |
| frame; if the parent of the WebKitWebView widget is a |
| GtkScrolledWindow, policy is applied by the default handler. |
| - A new API has been added to help dealing with the various |
| resources that are downloaded to compose the final rendering; you |
| can now obtain the source code for a page that is loaded, for |
| instance. |
| - A new property has been added to WebKitWebView to allow setting it |
| to "View Source" mode. |
| - HTML5 database has gained API to manage the individual databases, |
| including usage and quota. |
| - A new signal `resource-request-starting' has been added to the |
| WebKitWebView to allow modification of outgoing requests for every |
| resource. |
| - Connection limit has been increased to 60 total connections, 6 |
| per-host, matching other browsers more closely; this seems to have |
| improved loading time of some sites. |
| - Undo/redo support has been added to editable texts. |
| - The usual stream of small improvements and bug fixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.13 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.13? |
| |
| - GNOME Keyring support was removed in favor of the new Password |
| Manager soup feature; to get exactly the same behavior, |
| applications should use SoupPasswordManagerGNOME. This requires |
| libsoup 2.27.91 or newer. |
| - Several accessibility improvements, including support for testing |
| the a11y infrastructure in our layout tests. |
| - You can now enable/disable HTML5 offline application cache using a |
| new setting added to WebKitWebSettings. |
| - Drag support has landed, meaning you can start playing with HTML5 |
| drag and drop support; drop support is still missing. |
| - A crash with scripts closing windows has been fixed. |
| - Image cursors support has been added. |
| - The usual stream of small improvements and bug fixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.12 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.12? |
| |
| - Fix WebKitSoupAuthDialog to only save passwords in gnome-keyring |
| (if enabled) when authentication succeeds. |
| - Implement a proper size_request method for WebKitWebView. The |
| widget will request the size of the whole page as its size |
| requisition. |
| - Many a11y improvements. |
| - The usual amount of other misc fixes. |
| - WEBKIT_DEBUG variable now accepts channel names in any case |
| again. |
| |
| ================= |
| WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11 |
| ================= |
| |
| What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11? |
| |
| - WebKit has got a new feature - a XSS auditor, that should improve |
| security; this feature is still experimental, and disabled by |
| default, but applications can enable it using the setting. |
| - The hackish content sniffing code that was beig used to avoid |
| pages requesting downloads instead of displaying content has been |
| replaced by usage of a new Soup feature, which implements proper |
| content sniffing. |
| - More accessibility work, including fixes for problems which were |
| critical for a possible GNOME 2.28 release. |
| - Pasting rich text from other browsers should now work as expected. |
| - The usual amount of misc fixes. |
| |
| ================= |
| 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. |
