1 browser-switchboard (3.3~b2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
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.

24 browser-switchboard (3.3~b1-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
26 * New "upstream" development release.
28 - add support for Opera Mobile
29 - fall back to the built-in default if the user's configured default
30 browser isn't installed
31 - introduce a command-line config utility; this is mainly intended to give
32 browser vendors a way to set their browser as the default
33 - provide a description for users who don't know what MicroB is; thanks
34 Emanuele Cassioli for pointing out the need
35 - major rewrite of configuration loading/saving code
36 * Cherry-pick addb0ed9... ("Add command-line utility to Makefile install
39 - Build and install the new command-line config utility.

50 browser-switchboard (3.2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
52 * New "upstream" stable release.
54 - make the "Web" menu entry and /usr/bin/browser open the default browser,
55 and provide a new "MicroB" menu entry and /usr/bin/microb script for
56 launching MicroB; the previous behavior was counterintuitive and
58 - Fremantle: fix launching and closing MicroB on Fremantle; thanks Faheem
59 Pervez and Uwe Kaminski for extensive testing
60 - Fremantle: force the Ovi Store bookmark to open in MicroB, since Ovi
61 Store doesn't load in other browsers; thanks ToJa92 of t.m.o for
63 - add ability to send debug output to syslog and new config setting
64 ("logging") to control where debug output goes; thanks Faheem Pervez for
66 - close stdin/stdout/stderr in child processes before the exec(), to make
67 debug output on stdout less noisy
68 - fix some abuses of the D-Bus API in launcher.c:launch_tear()
69 - make sure a running browserd is detected correctly on all devices so that
70 we don't try to launch another one; thanks Faheem Pervez for reporting
71 - ensure that only one browser-switchboard is active at any time
72 - update build system; we now have "diablo" and "fremantle" targets that
73 build binaries for the selected OS release
74 - link binaries with -Wl,--as-needed to eliminate unnecessary dependencies
76 - Build with Thumb by default and provide a "nothumb" build option to turn
77 it off, instead of building with Thumb only when requested; the
78 autobuilders aren't requesting Thumb, but we want it by default.
79 - Update debian/rules for the new upstream build system.

91 browser-switchboard (3.1-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
93 * New "upstream" stable release.
95 - add a new, more finger-friendly GUI for Fremantle, based on work by
96 Faheem Pervez (build UI with EXTRA_CPPFLAGS=-DFREMANTLE)
97 - make sure reconfig signal (SIGHUP) doesn't interrupt dispatch of a
98 request when continuous mode is off
99 - disable autocapitalization and predictive text features for the
100 other_browser_cmd entry in the UI
101 - add support for EXTRA_CPPFLAGS in Makefiles, to allow package builds to
102 pass feature/configuration defines; add EXTRA_LDFLAGS too, just in case

106 browser-switchboard (3.0-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
108 * New "upstream" stable release.
110 - fix the UI so that it looks for C browser-switchboard processes to send
111 SIGHUP to, not Python browser-switchboards
112 - add support for EXTRA_CFLAGS in Makefiles, to allow package builds to
113 pass additional optimization flags
114 - replace calls to `pkg-config dbus-1` in config-ui/Makefile with calls to
115 `pkg-config libosso` instead; asking for dbus-1 was incorrect and
116 covering up a problem that caused maemo extras-devel autobuilds to fail
118 - Use EXTRA_CFLAGS to generate N8x0 optimized builds, and use Thumb if
119 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS requests it.
120 - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0; no changes required.
121 - 323bf8... ("config-ui: Teach UI how to HUP C browser-switchboards")
122 merged upstream, remove from diff.
123 - Remove unneeded file debian/dirs.

127 browser-switchboard (3.0~rc1-2) extras-devel; urgency=low
129 * Actually upload to extras-devel.
130 * Replace the dependency on libdbus-1-dev and the call to pkg-config for
131 dbus-1 with libosso-dev and libosso, respectively, as that's the package
132 the control panel plugin interface actually needs. Fixes autobuild.

136 browser-switchboard (3.0~rc1-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
138 * New "upstream" prerelease.
140 - move to an all-C implementation for better performance and memory usage
141 - add a configuration hildon-control-panel plugin
142 - make MicroB the default default browser
144 - Accommodate the move to C:
145 + Package is now Arch: any.
146 + Revise Build-Depends and Depends appropriately.
147 + debian/postrm now kills off both Python and C browser-switchboards.
148 + debian/rules: build an Arch: any package, use the new Makefile-based
149 build and install, dh_strip the binaries, make shlibdeps.
150 * Cherry-pick 323bf8...
151 ("config-ui: Teach UI how to HUP C browser-switchboards") from Git master.

155 browser-switchboard (2.2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
157 * New "upstream" release.
159 - rename the package to browser-switchboard
160 - move the config file to $HOME/.config/browser-switchboard, and fall back
161 to the old location if no config file is found
162 - if no config file is found and Tear isn't installed, launch MicroB;
163 this avoids breaking link opening on a system with a freshly installed
164 browser-switchboard package and Tear not installed
165 - substantial documentation update
167 - Rename the package to browser-switchboard; Conflict with browser-proxy
168 to make sure that users don't try to install over it. browser-proxy
169 needs to be uninstalled before installing browser-switchboard.
170 - Drop the Depends on tear, now that installing browser-switchboard
171 doesn't break link opening when Tear isn't installed. Recommend
172 tear | fennec | midori instead.
173 - Add a friendly display name for the application manager in
175 - Update the package description.

181 * New "upstream" release.
183 - I'm now the upstream maintainer.
184 - License is clarified (GPLv2+).
185 - Use a config file ($HOME/.config/browser-proxy) for settings, if it
187 - Add support for launching Fennec and Midori out of the box.
188 - Introduce a config option default_browser for selecting the default
190 - Add support for launching an arbitrary browser using the
191 other_browser_cmd config option.
192 - Run maemo-invoker directly instead of /usr/bin/browser to avoid a loop
193 when /usr/bin/browser is a wrapper invoking browser-proxy.
194 - Add a new, private D-Bus method for a /usr/bin/browser wrapper to use.
196 - Ship a /usr/bin/browser wrapper script which ensures that launching
197 MicroB with /usr/bin/browser works when browser-proxy is installed.
198 - Update copyright to reflect licensing changes.
199 - Conflict with Mozilla's fennec-dbus-proxy (see Mozilla Bugzilla
200 #499904); both provide the com.nokia.osso_browser service and the two
201 probably shouldn't be co-installed.
