Re: Epiphany 0.8.3 released

Because firebird includes all of the mozilla code in it. The firebird code sits side by side with the mozilla code in the CVS server and basicly, all that is needed is to set a flag, for example:

#ifdef FIREBIRD

use_new_gui();

#else

use_standerd_gui();

#endif

while epiphany requires gecko. If I recall correctly, GRE will be done by mozilla 1.5 and thus will not require you to have all of mozilla, just the GRE. Hopefully decreasing some hardisk and memory footprints :P
