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

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

60 - add support for Opera Mobile
61 - fall back to the built-in default if the user's configured default
62 browser isn't installed
63 - introduce a command-line config utility; this is mainly intended to give
64 browser vendors a way to set their browser as the default
65 - provide a description for users who don't know what MicroB is; thanks

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

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

230 - fix the UI so that it looks for C browser-switchboard processes to send
231 SIGHUP to, not Python browser-switchboards
232 - add support for EXTRA_CFLAGS in Makefiles, to allow package builds to
233 pass additional optimization flags
234 - replace calls to `pkg-config dbus-1` in config-ui/Makefile with calls to
235 `pkg-config libosso` instead; asking for dbus-1 was incorrect and
236 covering up a problem that caused maemo extras-devel autobuilds to fail
238 - Use EXTRA_CFLAGS to generate N8x0 optimized builds, and use Thumb if
239 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS requests it.

281 + Package is now Arch: any.
282 + Revise Build-Depends and Depends appropriately.
283 + debian/postrm now kills off both Python and C browser-switchboards.
284 + debian/rules: build an Arch: any package, use the new Makefile-based

295 - rename the package to browser-switchboard

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

304 to make sure that users don't try to install over it. browser-proxy
305 needs to be uninstalled before installing browser-switchboard.

308 tear | fennec | midori instead.

326 - Add support for launching an arbitrary browser using the
327 other_browser_cmd config option.
328 - Run maemo-invoker directly instead of /usr/bin/browser to avoid a loop
329 when /usr/bin/browser is a wrapper invoking browser-proxy.
330 - Add a new, private D-Bus method for a /usr/bin/browser wrapper to use.
332 - Ship a /usr/bin/browser wrapper script which ensures that launching
333 MicroB with /usr/bin/browser works when browser-proxy is installed.

335 - Conflict with Mozilla's fennec-dbus-proxy (see Mozilla Bugzilla
336 #499904); both provide the com.nokia.osso_browser service and the two
