2 * reimplement the main browser-switchboard process in C, which leads to much
3 faster startup times and much lower memory usage
4 * implement a configuration UI, which can be used as a standalone app or as a
5 hildon-control-panel applet
6 * default to launching MicroB if no config file is found -- with a config UI,
7 it's best to keep things unchanged in a fresh install and let the user
8 configure them him/herself
9 * EXPERIMENTAL Fremantle support
12 * rename the package to browser-switchboard
13 * move the config file to $HOME/.config/browser-switchboard, and fall back
14 to the old location if no config file is found
15 * if no config file is found and Tear isn't installed, launch MicroB;
16 this avoids breaking link opening on a system with a freshly installed
17 browser-switchboard package and Tear not installed
18 * substantial documentation update
21 * Steven Luo is now the primary maintainer
22 * use a config file, /home/user/.config/browser-proxy, if available
23 * add support for launching Fennec and Midori out of the box
24 * introduce a config option default_browser for selecting the default browser
25 ("tear", "microb", "fennec", "midori", "other")
26 * add support for launching an arbitrary browser using the other_browser_cmd
28 * run maemo-invoker directly instead of /usr/bin/browser to avoid a loop when
29 /usr/bin/browser is a wrapper invoking this script
30 * add a new, private D-Bus method for a /usr/bin/browser wrapper to use to
31 launch MicroB with a URI
34 * several patches contributed by Steven Luo:
35 - only launch one window if Tear isn't already running
36 - use gobject instead of gtk+ for main loop, uses less memory
37 - use python dbus interface instead of shelling out for dbus-send
38 - add 'continuous mode' option to keep proxy running (faster response)
39 - kill browserd on exit if launched from the script
40 - add option to use MicroB by default
43 * added mime_open method used by File manager to open .html files
46 * can now manually launch MicroB/browser -- while open, it will be used instead
47 * without --print-reply, the initial launching message seems to get lost
50 * sniff for local paths, prefix with file:// (fixes feedcircuit)
53 * removed return values, added osso_browser/request namespace (fixes Pidgin)
56 * fixed wrong capitalization in dbus message
