Explicit +invocation of DOM objects' addEventListener methods has replaced the GObject +signal method of DOM event handling. For intance, where before a developer +would connect to the "click-event" signal, a developer must now call: +webkit_dom_event_target_add_event_listener. For a more illustrative example see: +http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/81486/trunk/Source/WebKit/gtk/tests/testdomdomwindow.c + +Added API to control the IconDatabase and the cache database APIs. + +WebKit bugs mostly relevant with the GTK+ port fixed since 1.3.12: + +Bug 23526 - [CAIRO] Support ImageBuffers clip operation on all Cairo ports (Martin Robinson) +Bug 56180 - [GTK] JSC crashes in 32bit Release bots after r80743 (Martin Robinson) +Bug 56180 - [GTK] JSC crashes in 32bit Release bots after r80743 (Geoffrey Garen) +Bug 49649 - [GTK] On-demand event-listeners for DOM event signals (David Keijser) +Bug 56333 - [GTK] [WebKit2] The UIProcess never changes the mouse cursor (Martin Robinson) +Bug 55989 - [GTK] Possible leaks after splitting TextCheckerClientEnchant.

We are still using the + old GtkStyle APIs, that should be gone by the next release. + - Add support for Mozilla-style JS fullscreen API. + - Add support for the viewport metatag. + - Many other bugfixes. + +================ +WebKitGTK+ 1.3.7 +================ + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.7? + + - Fix error pages template's not being filled properly. + - Fix context menu activation through keyboard. + - Add automatic garbage collection for most GObject DOM objects (all + those that are actually in the DOM tree).

See the property documentation and + http://www.w3.org/TR/view-mode/ for details. + - Fullscreen support for HTML5 media player. + - Identify as WebKit/Safari in Google domains when + enable-site-specific-quirks is activated. Otherwise we'll get a + degraded user experience due to their poor UA detection + algorihtms. + - Added simple media playback options in the context menu for the + media elements. + - Update (and require) to work with gobjet-introspection 0.9.5. + - Updated to work with GTK+ 3.x 2.90.7 when in GTK+ 3.x mode. + - Make --disable-jit actually work. + - Add --enable-opcode-stats configure flag.

A new configure flag, --with-gtk, has + been added, which allows to control which GTK+ version you want to + build against. The default value is '2.0', for GTK+ 2.x + support. With '3.0' the library will be compiled against GTK+ 3.x + (2.90.4 or newer required). In the 3.x mode the .pc file has been + renamed from webkit-X.X.pc to webkitgtk-X.X.pc, so you'll need to + update your autotools setup accordingly. + - Many fixes for the DOM bindings, including support to dispatch + events to any Node through webkit_event_target_dispatch_event. + - Added a 'inner-node' property to WebKitHitTestResult, carrying the + DOM node where the hit test happened. + - Many DnD fixes, including a fix for the infamous hang-of-death + while dragging the mouse. + - Support for <input type="range">. + - Many other bugfixes. + +================ +WebKitGTK+ 1.3.1 +================ + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.3.1? + + - Initial support for GObject DOM bindings. Present in this release + is a substantial subset of the basic DOM APIs (Document, HTML + elements, Node, etc) including access to the DOM events through + GObject signals. Keep in mind that all the APIs are still + unstable, and will probably be subject to changes before the next + stable release. + - Add webkit_web_back_forward_list_clear, to completely clear the + BackForward list. + - Lots of improvements in DOM clipboard and drag-drop access. + - Add support for GTK+ key themes. + - Significant improvements in a11y, including improved role support + and many bugfixes. + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.90 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.90? + + - Display server side messages during HTTP auth, since they + sometimes contain important information for the authentication + process. + - Reduce creation time for WebKitWebView widgets by reusing + dictionary structs used for spell-checking instead of creating a + new one for each instance. + - Implement WebKitWebView::geolocation-policy-decision-requested, + emitted when a frame inside the WebView wants to get its position + through geolocation. + - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-spatial-navigation to control + whether Spatial Navigation is enabled or not. Spatial Navigation + allows the user to move through the elements in a page using only + the keyboard; this is similar to caret browsing, but with less + focus on accessibility since instead of presenting the exact + layout of the page to the user a more "logical" way of browsing + through its contents is allowed. A specification of this feature + can be seen at + http://www.w3.org/TR/WICD/#current-focus-point-algorithm + - Add a new build option, --enable-fast-mobile-scrolling. At the + moment this only disables fixed backgrounds when there are no + other fixed elements in a page, since they generally make + scrolling very slow and thus are a big burden in some mobile + environments. + - GTK+ Input Method support has received a big overhaul, and most of + them should work pretty well now. + - All known redraw issues in the plugin support (especially with the + Java plugin) have been fixed. + - Various fixes to the MediaPlayer code to improve responsiveness + and avoid lagging on position reporting. + - Lots of bugfixes and other improvements. + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.22 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.22? + + - Preliminary support for Java plugins. Basic functionality is + there, but there are still a few rough edges. Also newly + introduced is a new WebKitWebSetting, 'enable-java-applet', which + controls whether WebKit will recognize the non-standard <applet> + tag. + - Add WebKitWebSettings::auto-resize-window; when enabled, WebKit + will act upon the DOM methods that change the size and/or position + of the window containing a WebView (window.{moveTo, resizeTo, + moveBy, resizeBy}). + - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-file-access-from-file-uris; when + enabled, each file:// URI will be assigned its own security + domain. + - Lots of bugfixes, especially in the PageCache support. + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.21 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.21? + + - New custom-made GStreamer source element that uses the WebCore + network layer to download media data; this makes sure any headers + and cookies will automatically get added when making requests. + - WebKit will now let libsoup know who the first party for a given + message is, making it possible to implement accept/deny policies in + Soup. + - The usual stream of fixes, and improvements + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.20 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.20? + + - Fixes to the HTML5 Media Player infrastructure to satisfy sites + that require cookies, and Referer to be sent; this makes + WebKitGTK+ able to support the new HTML5 support added to Youtube, + and Vimeo, for instance. + - Windowless plugin support is finally here, making it possible to + get plugins to behave on various web pages. + - The usual stream of fixes, and improvements + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.19 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.19? + + - Improvements to AtkText implementation + - RGBA colormap support has been added + - Improvements to the HTML5 media player + - Crashes related to clipboard handling, which were hitting many + users and seemed to be random have been fixed + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.18 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.18? + + - Add methods to set and get a cache model in WebKitGTK+. We offer + two possibilites: document viewer (no caches are used) and browser + (similar to the previous defaults). + - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-page-cache. Controls whether the + Page Cache is enabled or not. For details about what the page + cache is and does see + http://webkit.org/blog/427/webkit-page-cache-i-the-basics/ + The page cache is disabled by default, since the gtk+ port still + presents some small bugs when it's enabled. + - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-site-specific-quirks. Controls + whether a series of page-specific workarounds are used by WebKit. + - Use Content-Encoding support available in libsoup 2.28.2 and + newer. + - Add WebKitWebSettings::enable-default-context-menu. Controls + whether webkitgtk+ will show a default context menu on right click + in the view. Note that even with the property set to FALSE right + clicks can be handled by the page, either by actions or by + ad-hoc in-page context menus. + - Make the WebKitWebView::icon-loaded signal carry a string with the + favicon's URI. This is an API break, but the signal already had a + broken signature and was useless anyway, so it's extremely + unlikely that anybody was using it. Also, add the 'icon-uri' + property to the view, holding the URI for its current favicon. + - Respect Content-Disposition header in downloads (fixes downloads + in gmail). + - Various accessibility improvements. + - Many bugfixes. + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.17 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.17? + + - New APIs to show and close the web inspector and to inspect an + element at the given coordinates. + - New property, WebKitWebSettings::tab-key-cycles-through-elements, + controls whether TAB is simply interpreted as another keystroke or + is used to cycle through the elements in a page. + - Many a11y improvements. + - The usual amount of random bugfixes. + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.16 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.16? + + - Add optional support to generate the gobject-introspection + gir/typelib files. Enable with --enable-introspection, it's off by + default. + - Add a new load status value, WEBKIT_LOAD_FAILED, emitted when + there's an error during the load process. This is the natural + companion to WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED, which is only emitted when the + load finished succesfuly. + - Ensure that keyboard events filtered by GtkIMContext still create + the proper DOM events. + - Many a11y improvements: caret browsing fixes, expose heading + levels, more accessible roles supported, more work in correctly + showing the element's ancestry list, improved support for lists, + etc. + - Many improvements to our media support. + - Add a new setting to control DOM pastes + (document.execCommand("Paste")) + - Many, many bugfixes all over the place. + +================= +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15 +================= + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15? + + - New API to get the subresources from a WebKitWebDataSource. This + provides a way of accessing all the resources that compose the + view to which the data source is attached. + - A new function, webkit_web_view_get_hit_test_result, which allows + to do a 'hit test' on the coordinates specified by a mouse + event.

It is not fully + integrated yet, so some manual tweaking is still needed. + - Minimum required GTK+ version is now 2.10. + - Added l10n support with gettext. Translations are stored in + WebKit/gtk/po/. + - Many improvements to the ATK support. It's good enough to provide + a basic user experience with Accerciser now, but we'll keep + improving it in further releases. + - New printing API that allows applications to control and monitor + the printing process, when requested by javascript or started by + the user. + - Many bugfixes. + +================ +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4 +================ + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4? + + - WebKitWebView gained uri and title properties, deprecating the + usage of the title-changed signal. + - Basic functionality for HTML5 media tags has been achieved; there + are many unimplented methods, and rough edges still, though. + - Font rendering received quite some love, with layouting, and + memory handling fixes, and at least one less crash. + - A new signal, new-window-policy-decision-requested, has been added + to WebKitWebView, that makes it possible for the application to + correctly decide what to do when new windows are requested. + - A bug that made tooltips for consecutive links not update their + location was fixed. + - Several improvements were made to the HTTP backend, including + making it more robust when talking to servers which send bad + Content-Type headers. + - WebKitWebView now uses the GtkBinding system to handle key events, + which means that the user is now able to customize the keys used + for various operations, and that many subtle bugs have been fixed. + +================ +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.3 +================ + +The 1.1.3 release was just a quick bug fix release, because we made a +mistake in library versioning. + +================ +WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2 +================ + +What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2? + + - Added support for downloads: a new signal, 'download-requested', + will be emitted by WebKit when a dowload is requested. On top of + that, the download process has been encapsulated in a new object, + WebKitDownload, which allows the user to control it or to start + new downloads from the client side. + - Added webkit_web_view_get_encoding to get the automatic encoding + of the current page. + - Added GObject properties for 'encoding' and 'custom-encoding'. + - Added 'javascript-profiling-enabled' property to the WebInspector, + which allows to enable and disable the profiling functionality. + - Added API to create and add history items to WebKit's history. + - Improved debugging support with WEBKIT_DEBUG environment + variable.
