 <ul>
-<li>Fremantle: add a new, more finger-friendly GUI, based on work by Faheem Pervez</li>
-<li>make sure reconfig signal (SIGHUP) doesn't interrupt dispatch of a request when continuous mode is off</li>
-<li>disable autocapitalization and predictive text features for the other_browser_cmd entry in the UI</li>
+<li>In the Control Panel applet, only offer browsers that are actually installed.</li>
+<li>Fall back to MicroB instead of silently failing if the configured default browser is not installed.</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] An overhaul of the MicroB launching process, which should greatly increase the robustness of Browser Switchboard with MicroB on Fremantle.  When MicroB is selected as the default browser, the user experience should be identical to that when Browser Switchboard isn't installed; MicroB will still behave differently when another browser is selected as the default (see the known issues for details).</li>
+<li>Listen on the D-Bus system bus as well as the session bus, to accommodate applications (like some versions of Hermes and witter) which send link opening requests on the system bus.  (Application developers: the system bus isn't for user programs, you should be using the session bus.)</li>
+<li>[Diablo] Continuous mode is now the default mode of operation.</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] Continuous mode is now forced on regardless of the setting of the config preference; this change is required to make sure applications can find us on the system bus.</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] Browser Switchboard is now started on startup; this change is required to make sure applications can find us on the system bus.</li>
+<li>[Fremantle] By default, MicroB is now prestarted on startup, and remains in memory even when no browser windows are open, if MicroB is the default browser.  This behavior can be configured via a new autostart_microb preference.</li>
+<li>Update the package description to mention that there's a control panel applet in the package, to help out users who don't read documentation (and therefore won't find this thread).  Thanks to Emanuele Cassioli for the suggestion.</li>
+<li>Rename the MicroB option in the control panel to "MicroB (stock browser)", as some have pointed out that the MicroB name isn't used anywhere and is therefore not familiar to many users.  Better wording suggestions are welcome.</li>
+<li>Provide a command-line tool for configuring Browser Switchboard which can be used by browser developers to set their browser as the default.  See the <a href="http://git.maemo.org/git/browser-switch/?p=browser-switch;a=commit;h=6ac42ed781a7735221de8aaa28a6647b32608049">commit message</a> for more information.
