We are still using the 813 old GtkStyle APIs, that should be gone by the next release. 814 - Add support for Mozilla-style JS fullscreen API. 815 - Add support for the viewport metatag. 816 - Many other bugfixes. 817 818================ 819WebKitGTK+ 1.3.7 820================ 821 822What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.7? 823 824 - Fix error pages template's not being filled properly. 825 - Fix context menu activation through keyboard. 826 - Add automatic garbage collection for most GObject DOM objects (all 827 those that are actually in the DOM tree). This gets rid of most of 828 the leaks when using the bindings. 829 - Add an Inspector API to inspect a DOM node. 830 - Tons of a11y bugfixes. 831 - Tons of fixes for the in-tree SoupCache, should work much better 832 now. 833 - Many other bugfixes. 834 835================ 836WebKitGTK+ 1.3.6 837================ 838 839What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.6? 840 841 - Update to compile with GTK+ 3.x 2.91.4. 842 - Many, many other bugfixes. 843 844================ 845WebKitGTK+ 1.3.5 846================ 847 848What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.5? 849 850 - Add a HTTP cache implementation. This will be eventually 851 integrated in libsoup itself, but for now it can be accessed from 852 WebKit through the WebKitSoupCache APIs. 853 - Updated to work with GTK+ 3.x 2.91.1. 854 - Add frame-flattening support, used by some mobile browser sto 855 merge all frames in a page into a continuous view. 856 - Many other bugfixes. 857 858================ 859WebKitGTK+ 1.3.4 860================ 861 862What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.4? 863 864 - File reader/writer APIs are now enabled. 865 - The javascript JIT is now enabled by default on ARM. 866 - Clipboard data is no longer lost when the process exists. 867 - Image DnD support. 868 - GSettings support to save/restore Web Inspector settings. 869 - Add WebSocket support, now enabled by default. 870 - Added WebKitWebView::frame-created signal, emitted when a frame 871 other than the main frame is created in a view. 872 - Added WebKitWebView::view-mode, holding information about how the 873 view is being presented. See the property documentation and 874 http://www.w3.org/TR/view-mode/ for details. 875 - Fullscreen support for HTML5 media player. 876 - Identify as WebKit/Safari in Google domains when 877 enable-site-specific-quirks is activated. Otherwise we'll get a 878 degraded user experience due to their poor UA detection 879 algorihtms. 880 - Added simple media playback options in the context menu for the 881 media elements. 882 - Update (and require) to work with gobjet-introspection 0.9.5. 883 - Updated to work with GTK+ 3.x 2.90.7 when in GTK+ 3.x mode. 884 - Make --disable-jit actually work. 885 - Add --enable-opcode-stats configure flag. When enabled, statistics 886 about opcode generation will be printed by JSC. 887 - Many a11y fixes, particularly in the AtkText interface. 888 - CSS box shadows render much faster in many cases. 889 - Many other bugfixes. 890 891================ 892WebKitGTK+ 1.3.3 893================ 894 895What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.3? 896 897 - Fixes to compile with latest GTK+ 2.90.x. 898 - Add support for dropping content in WebKitWebViews. 899 - Many other bugfixes. 900 901================ 902WebKitGTK+ 1.3.2 903================ 904 905What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.2? 906 907*** This release is an ABI break *** 908 909The library has been renamed to libwebkitgtk, so you'll need to 910recompile your applications when upgrading to 1.3.2. 911 912 - Add support for GTK+ 3.x. A new configure flag, --with-gtk, has 913 been added, which allows to control which GTK+ version you want to 914 build against. The default value is '2.0', for GTK+ 2.x 915 support. With '3.0' the library will be compiled against GTK+ 3.x 916 (2.90.4 or newer required). In the 3.x mode the .pc file has been 917 renamed from webkit-X.X.pc to webkitgtk-X.X.pc, so you'll need to 918 update your autotools setup accordingly. 919 - Many fixes for the DOM bindings, including support to dispatch 920 events to any Node through webkit_event_target_dispatch_event. 921 - Added a 'inner-node' property to WebKitHitTestResult, carrying the 922 DOM node where the hit test happened. 923 - Many DnD fixes, including a fix for the infamous hang-of-death 924 while dragging the mouse. 925 - Support for <input type="range">. 926 - Many other bugfixes. 927 928================ 929WebKitGTK+ 1.3.1 930================ 931 932What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.1? 933 934 - Initial support for GObject DOM bindings. Present in this release 935 is a substantial subset of the basic DOM APIs (Document, HTML 936 elements, Node, etc) including access to the DOM events through 937 GObject signals. Keep in mind that all the APIs are still 938 unstable, and will probably be subject to changes before the next 939 stable release. 940 - Add webkit_web_back_forward_list_clear, to completely clear the 941 BackForward list. 942 - Lots of improvements in DOM clipboard and drag-drop access. 943 - Add support for GTK+ key themes. 944 - Significant improvements in a11y, including improved role support 945 and many bugfixes. 946 947================= 948WebKitGTK+ 1.1.90 949================= 950 951What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.90? 952 953 - Display server side messages during HTTP auth, since they 954 sometimes contain important information for the authentication 955 process. 956 - Reduce creation time for WebKitWebView widgets by reusing 957 dictionary structs used for spell-checking instead of creating a 958 new one for each instance. 959 - Implement WebKitWebView::geolocation-policy-decision-requested, 960 emitted when a frame inside the WebView wants to get its position 961 through geolocation. 962 - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-spatial-navigation to control 963 whether Spatial Navigation is enabled or not. Spatial Navigation 964 allows the user to move through the elements in a page using only 965 the keyboard; this is similar to caret browsing, but with less 966 focus on accessibility since instead of presenting the exact 967 layout of the page to the user a more "logical" way of browsing 968 through its contents is allowed. A specification of this feature 969 can be seen at 970 http://www.w3.org/TR/WICD/#current-focus-point-algorithm 971 - Add a new build option, --enable-fast-mobile-scrolling. At the 972 moment this only disables fixed backgrounds when there are no 973 other fixed elements in a page, since they generally make 974 scrolling very slow and thus are a big burden in some mobile 975 environments. 976 - GTK+ Input Method support has received a big overhaul, and most of 977 them should work pretty well now. 978 - All known redraw issues in the plugin support (especially with the 979 Java plugin) have been fixed. 980 - Various fixes to the MediaPlayer code to improve responsiveness 981 and avoid lagging on position reporting. 982 - Lots of bugfixes and other improvements. 983 984================= 985WebKitGTK+ 1.1.22 986================= 987 988What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.22? 989 990 - Preliminary support for Java plugins. Basic functionality is 991 there, but there are still a few rough edges. Also newly 992 introduced is a new WebKitWebSetting, 'enable-java-applet', which 993 controls whether WebKit will recognize the non-standard <applet> 994 tag. 995 - Add WebKitWebSettings::auto-resize-window; when enabled, WebKit 996 will act upon the DOM methods that change the size and/or position 997 of the window containing a WebView (window.{moveTo, resizeTo, 998 moveBy, resizeBy}). 999 - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-file-access-from-file-uris; when 1000 enabled, each file:// URI will be assigned its own security 1001 domain. 1002 - Lots of bugfixes, especially in the PageCache support. 1003 1004================= 1005WebKitGTK+ 1.1.21 1006================= 1007 1008What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.21? 1009 1010 - New custom-made GStreamer source element that uses the WebCore 1011 network layer to download media data; this makes sure any headers 1012 and cookies will automatically get added when making requests. 1013 - WebKit will now let libsoup know who the first party for a given 1014 message is, making it possible to implement accept/deny policies in 1015 Soup. 1016 - The usual stream of fixes, and improvements 1017 1018================= 1019WebKitGTK+ 1.1.20 1020================= 1021 1022What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.20? 1023 1024 - Fixes to the HTML5 Media Player infrastructure to satisfy sites 1025 that require cookies, and Referer to be sent; this makes 1026 WebKitGTK+ able to support the new HTML5 support added to Youtube, 1027 and Vimeo, for instance. 1028 - Windowless plugin support is finally here, making it possible to 1029 get plugins to behave on various web pages. 1030 - The usual stream of fixes, and improvements 1031 1032================= 1033WebKitGTK+ 1.1.19 1034================= 1035 1036What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.19? 1037 1038 - Improvements to AtkText implementation 1039 - RGBA colormap support has been added 1040 - Improvements to the HTML5 media player 1041 - Crashes related to clipboard handling, which were hitting many 1042 users and seemed to be random have been fixed 1043 1044================= 1045WebKitGTK+ 1.1.18 1046================= 1047 1048What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.18? 1049 1050 - Add methods to set and get a cache model in WebKitGTK+. We offer 1051 two possibilites: document viewer (no caches are used) and browser 1052 (similar to the previous defaults). 1053 - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-page-cache. Controls whether the 1054 Page Cache is enabled or not. For details about what the page 1055 cache is and does see 1056 http://webkit.org/blog/427/webkit-page-cache-i-the-basics/ 1057 The page cache is disabled by default, since the gtk+ port still 1058 presents some small bugs when it's enabled. 1059 - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-site-specific-quirks. Controls 1060 whether a series of page-specific workarounds are used by WebKit. 1061 - Use Content-Encoding support available in libsoup 2.28.2 and 1062 newer. 1063 - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-default-context-menu. Controls 1064 whether webkitgtk+ will show a default context menu on right click 1065 in the view. Note that even with the property set to FALSE right 1066 clicks can be handled by the page, either by actions or by 1067 ad-hoc in-page context menus. 1068 - Make the WebKitWebView::icon-loaded signal carry a string with the 1069 favicon's URI. This is an API break, but the signal already had a 1070 broken signature and was useless anyway, so it's extremely 1071 unlikely that anybody was using it. Also, add the 'icon-uri' 1072 property to the view, holding the URI for its current favicon. 1073 - Respect Content-Disposition header in downloads (fixes downloads 1074 in gmail). 1075 - Various accessibility improvements. 1076 - Many bugfixes. 1077 1078================= 1079WebKitGTK+ 1.1.17 1080================= 1081 1082What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.17? 1083 1084 - New APIs to show and close the web inspector and to inspect an 1085 element at the given coordinates. 1086 - New property, WebKitWebSettings::tab-key-cycles-through-elements, 1087 controls whether TAB is simply interpreted as another keystroke or 1088 is used to cycle through the elements in a page. 1089 - Many a11y improvements. 1090 - The usual amount of random bugfixes. 1091 1092================= 1093WebKitGTK+ 1.1.16 1094================= 1095 1096What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.16? 1097 1098 - Add optional support to generate the gobject-introspection 1099 gir/typelib files. Enable with --enable-introspection, it's off by 1100 default. 1101 - Add a new load status value, WEBKIT_LOAD_FAILED, emitted when 1102 there's an error during the load process. This is the natural 1103 companion to WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED, which is only emitted when the 1104 load finished succesfuly. 1105 - Ensure that keyboard events filtered by GtkIMContext still create 1106 the proper DOM events. 1107 - Many a11y improvements: caret browsing fixes, expose heading 1108 levels, more accessible roles supported, more work in correctly 1109 showing the element's ancestry list, improved support for lists, 1110 etc. 1111 - Many improvements to our media support. 1112 - Add a new setting to control DOM pastes 1113 (document.execCommand("Paste")) 1114 - Many, many bugfixes all over the place. 1115 1116================= 1117WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15 1118================= 1119 1120What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15? 1121 1122 - New API to get the subresources from a WebKitWebDataSource. This 1123 provides a way of accessing all the resources that compose the 1124 view to which the data source is attached. 1125 - A new function, webkit_web_view_get_hit_test_result, which allows 1126 to do a 'hit test' on the coordinates specified by a mouse 1127 event. A hit test provides context information about that point in 1128 the document, like whether it's an image, a link, an input box, 1129 etc. 1130 - Our DumpRenderTree implementation now supports eventSender, which 1131 allows us to run many more LayoutTests and make WebKitGTK+ more 1132 stable and feature-complete. 1133 - JSNES runs 6x faster: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/48573 1134 - The usual small improvements and bugfixes. 1135 1136================= 1137WebKitGTK+ 1.1.14 1138================= 1139 1140What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.14? 1141 1142 - New API has been added to WebKitWebFrame to allow applying 1143 scrollbars policy as requested by web applications to the main 1144 frame; if the parent of the WebKitWebView widget is a 1145 GtkScrolledWindow, policy is applied by the default handler. 1146 - A new API has been added to help dealing with the various 1147 resources that are downloaded to compose the final rendering; you 1148 can now obtain the source code for a page that is loaded, for 1149 instance. 1150 - A new property has been added to WebKitWebView to allow setting it 1151 to "View Source" mode. 1152 - HTML5 database has gained API to manage the individual databases, 1153 including usage and quota. 1154 - A new signal `resource-request-starting' has been added to the 1155 WebKitWebView to allow modification of outgoing requests for every 1156 resource. 1157 - Connection limit has been increased to 60 total connections, 6 1158 per-host, matching other browsers more closely; this seems to have 1159 improved loading time of some sites. 1160 - Undo/redo support has been added to editable texts. 1161 - The usual stream of small improvements and bug fixes. 1162 1163================= 1164WebKitGTK+ 1.1.13 1165================= 1166 1167What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.13? 1168 1169 - GNOME Keyring support was removed in favor of the new Password 1170 Manager soup feature; to get exactly the same behavior, 1171 applications should use SoupPasswordManagerGNOME. This requires 1172 libsoup 2.27.91 or newer. 1173 - Several accessibility improvements, including support for testing 1174 the a11y infrastructure in our layout tests. 1175 - You can now enable/disable HTML5 offline application cache using a 1176 new setting added to WebKitWebSettings. 1177 - Drag support has landed, meaning you can start playing with HTML5 1178 drag and drop support; drop support is still missing. 1179 - A crash with scripts closing windows has been fixed. 1180 - Image cursors support has been added. 1181 - The usual stream of small improvements and bug fixes. 1182 1183================= 1184WebKitGTK+ 1.1.12 1185================= 1186 1187What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.12? 1188 1189 - Fix WebKitSoupAuthDialog to only save passwords in gnome-keyring 1190 (if enabled) when authentication succeeds. 1191 - Implement a proper size_request method for WebKitWebView. The 1192 widget will request the size of the whole page as its size 1193 requisition. 1194 - Many a11y improvements. 1195 - The usual amount of other misc fixes. 1196 - WEBKIT_DEBUG variable now accepts channel names in any case 1197 again. 1198 1199================= 1200WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11 1201================= 1202 1203What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11? 1204 1205 - WebKit has got a new feature - a XSS auditor, that should improve 1206 security; this feature is still experimental, and disabled by 1207 default, but applications can enable it using the setting. 1208 - The hackish content sniffing code that was beig used to avoid 1209 pages requesting downloads instead of displaying content has been 1210 replaced by usage of a new Soup feature, which implements proper 1211 content sniffing. 1212 - More accessibility work, including fixes for problems which were 1213 critical for a possible GNOME 2.28 release. 1214 - Pasting rich text from other browsers should now work as expected. 1215 - The usual amount of misc fixes. 1216 1217================= 1218WebKitGTK+ 1.1.10 1219================= 1220 1221What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.10? 1222 1223 - WebKitNetworkRequest has now GObject properties for its URI and 1224 the SoupMessage that backs it up. 1225 - Fix AtkText methods get_selection and get_n_selections to not use 1226 the global selection but only the selection that belongs to the 1227 object being used. 1228 - Fix a crasher when emitting the a11y signal 'text-caret-moved' in 1229 some situations with debug builds. 1230 1231================ 1232WebKitGTK+ 1.1.9 1233================ 1234 1235What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.9? 1236 1237 - Scrolling once again received a lot of love, and many subtle 1238 problems and bugs were killed, and we now get correct behavior in 1239 acid2; a number of smaller improvements are in the queue. 1240 - Accessibility keeps gaining better support. On this release a lot 1241 of work was done on the AtkText interface implementation. 1242 - WebKitNetworkRequest now carries with it all the information 1243 regarding the request, not only the URI. This means you will no 1244 longer miss headers such as Referer when passing NetworkRequest 1245 objects from a callback to webkit_web_frame_load_request. 1246 1247================ 1248WebKitGTK+ 1.1.8 1249================ 1250 1251What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.8? 1252 1253 - We found out that WebKitWebHistoryItems were being kept with a 1254 reference count of 2 instead of 1 as they should; nobody should be 1255 relying on that, but if you hit reference counting problems with 1256 items you were creating yourself, this is for you. 1257 - You can now copy images from the web page to the clipboard. 1258 - Improvements were made to the Plugin handling code. 1259 - Scroll events will now be correctly reported to web applications. 1260 - You can now embed arbitrary widgets as if it was a plugin, with 1261 the new "create-plugin-widget" signal. 1262 - The atk_text_get_text_{at,after,before}_offset methods are now 1263 implemented for all boundary types except LINE_AFTER and 1264 LINE_BEFORE. 1265 - The usual stream of minor fixes and improvements, as always. 1266 1267================ 1268WebKitGTK+ 1.1.7 1269================ 1270 1271What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.7? 1272 1273 - This release includes a security fix: 1274 SVGList::insertItemBefore would not perform a bounds check on the 1275 index it was provided, potentially leading to a buffer overflow. 1276 - New frame loading properties supersede various load-* signals, and 1277 are also accessible in the WebView, for convenience, making this 1278 API saner. 1279 - JIT is now supported for X86-64 on Linux, and enabled by default! 1280 - A regression on webkit_web_view_load_string has been fixed, making 1281 it work correctly again when the document uses encodings which may 1282 use more than 1 byte per character. 1283 - Yet more work has been done to the ATK support, caret browsing 1284 support improvements in particular. 1285 - Filenames suggested by the Download functionality now correctly 1286 use the filename given by the host, if available. 1287 - Build fixes for IA64, and AMD64 1288 - gtk-doc support has also improved, and you should now be able to 1289 cd WebKit/gtk/docs and type make docs, if you --enable-gtk-doc on 1290 configure, as long as you build with srcdir == builddir. 1291 - More crashes and other bugs fixed, and small improvements made 1292 under the hood. 1293 1294================ 1295WebKitGTK+ 1.1.6 1296================ 1297 1298What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.6? 1299 1300 - Several ATK support additions and fixes got landed, with many 1301 roles being now implemented, providing better accessibility. 1302 - Caret browsing is now available. 1303 - Spelling check has been implemented using Enchant; the API is 1304 still lacking, and some of the functionality still needs to be 1305 improved, though. 1306 - Error reporting is now available, with default error pages, and 1307 API that allows the application to override the default behavior; 1308 localization of those pages is still not supported, but planned. 1309 - More crashes and other bugs fixed. 1310 1311================ 1312WebKitGTK+ 1.1.5 1313================ 1314 1315What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.5? 1316 1317 - Added gtk-doc support to the build system. It is not fully 1318 integrated yet, so some manual tweaking is still needed. 1319 - Minimum required GTK+ version is now 2.10. 1320 - Added l10n support with gettext. Translations are stored in 1321 WebKit/gtk/po/. 1322 - Many improvements to the ATK support. It's good enough to provide 1323 a basic user experience with Accerciser now, but we'll keep 1324 improving it in further releases. 1325 - New printing API that allows applications to control and monitor 1326 the printing process, when requested by javascript or started by 1327 the user. 1328 - Many bugfixes. 1329 1330================ 1331WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4 1332================ 1333 1334What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4? 1335 1336 - WebKitWebView gained uri and title properties, deprecating the 1337 usage of the title-changed signal. 1338 - Basic functionality for HTML5 media tags has been achieved; there 1339 are many unimplented methods, and rough edges still, though. 1340 - Font rendering received quite some love, with layouting, and 1341 memory handling fixes, and at least one less crash. 1342 - A new signal, new-window-policy-decision-requested, has been added 1343 to WebKitWebView, that makes it possible for the application to 1344 correctly decide what to do when new windows are requested. 1345 - A bug that made tooltips for consecutive links not update their 1346 location was fixed. 1347 - Several improvements were made to the HTTP backend, including 1348 making it more robust when talking to servers which send bad 1349 Content-Type headers. 1350 - WebKitWebView now uses the GtkBinding system to handle key events, 1351 which means that the user is now able to customize the keys used 1352 for various operations, and that many subtle bugs have been fixed. 1353 1354================ 1355WebKitGTK+ 1.1.3 1356================ 1357 1358The 1.1.3 release was just a quick bug fix release, because we made a 1359mistake in library versioning. 1360 1361================ 1362WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2 1363================ 1364 1365What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2? 1366 1367 - Added support for downloads: a new signal, 'download-requested', 1368 will be emitted by WebKit when a dowload is requested. On top of 1369 that, the download process has been encapsulated in a new object, 1370 WebKitDownload, which allows the user to control it or to start 1371 new downloads from the client side. 1372 - Added webkit_web_view_get_encoding to get the automatic encoding 1373 of the current page. 1374 - Added GObject properties for 'encoding' and 'custom-encoding'. 1375 - Added 'javascript-profiling-enabled' property to the WebInspector, 1376 which allows to enable and disable the profiling functionality. 1377 - Added API to create and add history items to WebKit's history. 1378 - Improved debugging support with WEBKIT_DEBUG environment 1379 variable. Most of the settings will only give useful output for 1380 debug builds, but WEBKIT_DEBUG=Network will log all HTTP traffic 1381 form libsoup to console. See WebCore/platform/gtk/LoggingGtk.cpp 1382 for all the options available. 1383 - Lots of bugfixes. 1384 1385================ 1386WebKitGTK+ 1.1.1 1387================ 1388 1389What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.1? 1390 1391 - ABI compatibility with 1.0.3 was broken, so you will need to 1392 recompile your application against 1.1.1 1393 - Support for the CURL backend was dropped, libsoup is the only HTTP 1394 backend now. 1395 - webkit_get_default_session, to get the SoupSession used internally 1396 by WebKit. 1397 - 'create-web-view' signal, emitted when the creation of a new 1398 window is requested. 1399 - 'navigation-policy-decision-requested' signal, emitted when a 1400 navigation to another page is requested. 1401 - 'mime-type-policy-decision-requested' signal, emitted each time 1402 WebKit is about to show a URI with a given MIME type. 1403 - Support for the Web Inspector 1404 (see http://webkit.org/blog/197/web-inspector-redesign/) 1405 - HTTP authentication support, with optional gnome-keyring storage. 1406 - New load functions: webkit_web_view_open, webkit_web_view_load_uri 1407 and webkit_web_view_load_request. The old 1408 webkit_web_view_load_string and webkit_web_view_load_html_string 1409 are now deprecated. 1410 - webkit_web_view_reload_bypass_cache 1411 - webkit_web_view_{get,set}_custom_encoding, to override the 1412 encoding of the current page. 1413 - Improved stability and lots of bugfixes. 1414 1415
