We also made a bunch of other updates - the most significant of which is a serious overhaul of the downloading subsystem - most significantly meaning it doesn't crash all the time :-) In the feature restoration department, we see the return of the off-line mode and user stylesheets.

We're well on track towards a 1.4.0 release with most of the feature items we were shooting for implemented. Can't promise when it's going to happen, but we're closer than we were. :-)

Changelog:

  • Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.7rc2 and trunk
  • Requires gtk+ 2.4
  • Major download re-write:
    • Much improved robustness; lots of crashes fixed
    • Improved filename generation when saving pages
    • Pages generated by a POST correctly saved
  • Restored offline mode
  • Restored ability to block cookie sites when removing cookies
  • Improved layout of personal data manager
  • Added context menu to links in page info dialog
  • Added image save button to page info dialog
  • Always show the menubar when F10 is pressed
  • Use more stock icons from the current icon theme
  • Implement user stylesheet support (put them in ~/.galeon/stylesheets)

Re: Galeon 1.3.15 released

I've just recently installed FC2 and, after playing around with Ep., some of your points appear to be out of date.

* Hierarchy in bookmarks topics. It's just plain essential to manage bookmarks. There's way to many topics with subtopics in this world to be interested in.

I haven't actually created a bookmark yet (google is my bookmarking system ;-) so I don't know the status of the bookmark section.

* Being able to middle-click to open links in tabs, even in the bookmarks menu and toolbar.

This works in Ephiphany.

* Being able to drag'n'drop a tab out of the window into a new window. (I admit, this is less essential.)

This also works in Ephiphany. In fact, you can do the reverse too (i.e., drag a browser window and drop it as a new tab in a different window.).

* Being able to save all tabs and windows as sessions and thus swap between several readymade sets of pages.

I haven't tried this either so I don't know about it but I'll try it tonight.
