+Version 3.2 (2010/02/22) (Diablo one-click install, Beta-quality Fremantle package)
-- Add a control panel applet to help configure the UI
-- Reimplement the core D-Bus proxy in C to improve speed and memory footprint
-- 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)
-- EXPERIMENTAL Fremantle support (see download page for source and packages). BACK UP before installing, and let me know how it goes!
+- 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.
+- [Fremantle] Launching and closing MicroB now works! Many thanks to everyone who tested this and provided feedback, especially Faheem Pervez and Uwe Kaminski.
+- [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.)
+- [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.
+- 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.
+- Turn on additional optimizations for code size, which should reduce disk and memory footprint slightly, and also possibly improve startup time.
+- Miscellaneous minor bugfixes and cleanups.
