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

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

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

82 - Ship a different microb.desktop file with the Fremantle location of the
83 stock web browser icon.
84 - Add a postinst that attempts to kill open MicroB browser processes, to
85 avoid having to restart for browser-switchboard to start handling
86 com.nokia.osso_browser.

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

100 - Fremantle: force the Ovi Store bookmark to open in MicroB, since Ovi
101 Store doesn't load in other browsers; thanks ToJa92 of t.m.o for
103 - add ability to send debug output to syslog and new config setting
104 ("logging") to control where debug output goes; thanks Faheem Pervez for
106 - close stdin/stdout/stderr in child processes before the exec(), to make
107 debug output on stdout less noisy
108 - fix some abuses of the D-Bus API in launcher.c:launch_tear()
109 - make sure a running browserd is detected correctly on all devices so that
110 we don't try to launch another one; thanks Faheem Pervez for reporting
111 - ensure that only one browser-switchboard is active at any time
112 - update build system; we now have "diablo" and "fremantle" targets that
113 build binaries for the selected OS release
114 - link binaries with -Wl,--as-needed to eliminate unnecessary dependencies
116 - Build with Thumb by default and provide a "nothumb" build option to turn
117 it off, instead of building with Thumb only when requested; the
118 autobuilders aren't requesting Thumb, but we want it by default.
119 - Update debian/rules for the new upstream build system.
