3 * New "upstream" development release.
5 - only offer installed browsers in the config GUI
6 - make continuous mode operation the default; disable non-continuous-mode
7 on Fremantle (needed for correct operation on D-Bus system bus)
8 - Fremantle: major overhaul of MicroB launching to improve robustness;
9 should result in speed and behavior indistinguishable from when Browser
10 Switchboard isn't installed when MicroB is configured as default browser
11 - listen on D-Bus system bus as well as session bus, to accommodate some
12 broken applications that send their requests on the system bus
13 - Fremantle: start browser-switchboard on X session startup, and also
14 prestart MicroB if it's the default browser or the user asks for it
15 - Fremantle: prestart MicroB when the user changes to MicroB as the default
18 - Update package description to mention that we ship a control panel
19 applet, to help users who don't read documentation. Thanks to Emanuele
20 Cassioli for pointing out the need.

34 - add support for Opera Mobile
35 - fall back to the built-in default if the user's configured default

69 - Ship a different microb.desktop file with the Fremantle location of the
70 stock web browser icon.
71 - Add a postinst that attempts to kill open MicroB browser processes, to
72 avoid having to restart for browser-switchboard to start handling
73 com.nokia.osso_browser.

79 * New "upstream" stable release.
81 - make the "Web" menu entry and /usr/bin/browser open the default browser,
82 and provide a new "MicroB" menu entry and /usr/bin/microb script for
83 launching MicroB; the previous behavior was counterintuitive and
85 - Fremantle: fix launching and closing MicroB on Fremantle; thanks Faheem

91 ("logging") to control where debug output goes; thanks Faheem Pervez for
93 - close stdin/stdout/stderr in child processes before the exec(), to make
94 debug output on stdout less noisy
95 - fix some abuses of the D-Bus API in launcher.c:launch_tear()
96 - make sure a running browserd is detected correctly on all devices so that
97 we don't try to launch another one; thanks Faheem Pervez for reporting
98 - ensure that only one browser-switchboard is active at any time
99 - update build system; we now have "diablo" and "fremantle" targets that
100 build binaries for the selected OS release
101 - link binaries with -Wl,--as-needed to eliminate unnecessary dependencies
103 - Build with Thumb by default and provide a "nothumb" build option to turn
104 it off, instead of building with Thumb only when requested; the
105 autobuilders aren't requesting Thumb, but we want it by default.
106 - Update debian/rules for the new upstream build system.
