8 browser-switchboard (3.3~b2-1fremantle1) extras-devel; urgency=low
10 * Development release for Fremantle.
12 - Update debian/rules to build the Fremantle-specific command-line config
13 tool and install the Xsession.post script.
14 - Revise the postinst. Now that we coexist with the MicroB browser
15 process, don't try to kill it in the postinst; instead, start
16 browser-switchboard as the user to make sure we handle links from the
17 get-go, and prestart MicroB if appropriate.

21 browser-switchboard (3.3~b2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
23 * New "upstream" development release.
25 - only offer installed browsers in the config GUI
26 - make continuous mode operation the default; disable non-continuous-mode
27 on Fremantle (needed for correct operation on D-Bus system bus)
28 - Fremantle: major overhaul of MicroB launching to improve robustness;
29 should result in speed and behavior indistinguishable from when Browser
30 Switchboard isn't installed when MicroB is configured as default browser
31 - listen on D-Bus system bus as well as session bus, to accommodate some
32 broken applications that send their requests on the system bus
33 - Fremantle: start browser-switchboard on X session startup, and also
34 prestart MicroB if it's the default browser or the user asks for it
35 - Fremantle: prestart MicroB when the user changes to MicroB as the default
38 - Update package description to mention that we ship a control panel
39 applet, to help users who don't read documentation. Thanks to Emanuele
40 Cassioli for pointing out the need.

54 - add support for Opera Mobile
55 - fall back to the built-in default if the user's configured default
56 browser isn't installed
57 - introduce a command-line config utility; this is mainly intended to give
58 browser vendors a way to set their browser as the default
59 - provide a description for users who don't know what MicroB is; thanks
60 Emanuele Cassioli for pointing out the need
61 - major rewrite of configuration loading/saving code

87 * Beta release for Fremantle.
89 - Ship a different microb.desktop file with the Fremantle location of the
90 stock web browser icon.
91 - Add a postinst that attempts to kill open MicroB browser processes, to
92 avoid having to restart for browser-switchboard to start handling
93 com.nokia.osso_browser.

97 browser-switchboard (3.2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
99 * New "upstream" stable release.
101 - make the "Web" menu entry and /usr/bin/browser open the default browser,
102 and provide a new "MicroB" menu entry and /usr/bin/microb script for
103 launching MicroB; the previous behavior was counterintuitive and
104 difficult to discover
105 - Fremantle: fix launching and closing MicroB on Fremantle; thanks Faheem
106 Pervez and Uwe Kaminski for extensive testing
107 - Fremantle: force the Ovi Store bookmark to open in MicroB, since Ovi
108 Store doesn't load in other browsers; thanks ToJa92 of t.m.o for
110 - add ability to send debug output to syslog and new config setting
111 ("logging") to control where debug output goes; thanks Faheem Pervez for
113 - close stdin/stdout/stderr in child processes before the exec(), to make
114 debug output on stdout less noisy
115 - fix some abuses of the D-Bus API in launcher.c:launch_tear()
116 - make sure a running browserd is detected correctly on all devices so that
117 we don't try to launch another one; thanks Faheem Pervez for reporting
118 - ensure that only one browser-switchboard is active at any time
119 - update build system; we now have "diablo" and "fremantle" targets that
120 build binaries for the selected OS release
121 - link binaries with -Wl,--as-needed to eliminate unnecessary dependencies
123 - Build with Thumb by default and provide a "nothumb" build option to turn
124 it off, instead of building with Thumb only when requested; the
125 autobuilders aren't requesting Thumb, but we want it by default.
126 - Update debian/rules for the new upstream build system.

227 pass additional optimization flags
228 - replace calls to `pkg-config dbus-1` in config-ui/Makefile with calls to
229 `pkg-config libosso` instead; asking for dbus-1 was incorrect and
230 covering up a problem that caused maemo extras-devel autobuilds to fail

292 - if no config file is found and Tear isn't installed, launch MicroB;

320 - Add support for launching an arbitrary browser using the

322 - Run maemo-invoker directly instead of /usr/bin/browser to avoid a loop
323 when /usr/bin/browser is a wrapper invoking browser-proxy.
324 - Add a new, private D-Bus method for a /usr/bin/browser wrapper to use.

327 MicroB with /usr/bin/browser works when browser-proxy is installed.

329 - Conflict with Mozilla's fennec-dbus-proxy (see Mozilla Bugzilla
330 #499904); both provide the com.nokia.osso_browser service and the two
