and can also be used to launch MicroB without having browserd running.</p>
<h2>Current Release</h2>
-<p>Version 3.0 (2009/12/23) (<a href="browser-switchboard.install">Diablo one-click install</a>, <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/7112/browser-switchboard_3.0-1fremantle1_armel.deb">EXPERIMENTAL Fremantle package</a>)</p>

<ul>
-<li>Add a control panel applet to help configure the UI</li>
-<li>Reimplement the core D-Bus proxy in C to improve speed and memory footprint</li>
-<li>Default to launching MicroB as the default browser if unconfigured -- if you were using Browser Switchboard to launch Tear, you need to explicitly set Tear as the default browser using the UI (or by configuring by hand)</li>
-<li><b>EXPERIMENTAL</b> Fremantle support (see <a href="https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1159">download page</a> for source and packages). BACK UP before installing, and let me know how it goes!</li>
+<li>Make the "Web" menu entry and /usr/bin/browser script open the selected default browser, and provide a new "MicroB" menu entry and /usr/bin/microb script for launching MicroB.</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] Launching and closing MicroB now works! Many thanks to everyone who tested this and provided feedback, especially Faheem Pervez and Uwe Kaminski.</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] Restarting the device after a fresh install of Browser Switchboard should no longer be necessary. Make sure you close any open MicroB browser windows before installing/upgrading, though! (Restarting after installation has never been required on Diablo.)</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] Force the Ovi Store bookmark to open in MicroB, since Ovi Store doesn't load in other browsers. Thanks to ToJa92 of the talk.maemo.org forums for reporting this.</li>
+<li>Add the ability to send debug logging output to syslog as well as the terminal, and add a config setting "logging={stdout,syslog,none}" to configure it. Thanks to Faheem Pervez for the suggestion.</li>
+<li>Turn on additional optimizations for code size, which should reduce disk and memory footprint slightly, and also possibly improve startup time.</li>
+<li>Miscellaneous minor bugfixes and cleanups.</li>
</ul>
