On this release a lot 59 of work was done on the AtkText interface implementation. 60 - WebKitNetworkRequest now carries with it all the information 61 regarding the request, not only the URI.

It is not fully 136 integrated yet, so some manual tweaking is still needed. 137 - Minimum required GTK+ version is now 2.10. 138 - Added l10n support with gettext. Translations are stored in 139 WebKit/gtk/po/. 140 - Many improvements to the ATK support. It's good enough to provide 141 a basic user experience with Accerciser now, but we'll keep 142 improving it in further releases. 143 - New printing API that allows applications to control and monitor 144 the printing process, when requested by javascript or started by 145 the user. 146 - Many bugfixes. 147 148================ 149WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4 150================ 151 152What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.4? 153 154 - WebKitWebView gained uri and title properties, deprecating the 155 usage of the title-changed signal. 156 - Basic functionality for HTML5 media tags has been achieved; there 157 are many unimplented methods, and rough edges still, though. 158 - Font rendering received quite some love, with layouting, and 159 memory handling fixes, and at least one less crash. 160 - A new signal, new-window-policy-decision-requested, has been added 161 to WebKitWebView, that makes it possible for the application to 162 correctly decide what to do when new windows are requested. 163 - A bug that made tooltips for consecutive links not update their 164 location was fixed. 165 - Several improvements were made to the HTTP backend, including 166 making it more robust when talking to servers which send bad 167 Content-Type headers. 168 - WebKitWebView now uses the GtkBinding system to handle key events, 169 which means that the user is now able to customize the keys used 170 for various operations, and that many subtle bugs have been fixed. 171 172================ 173WebKitGTK+ 1.1.3 174================ 175 176The 1.1.3 release was just a quick bug fix release, because we made a 177mistake in library versioning. 178 179================ 180WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2 181================ 182 183What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.2? 184 185 - Added support for downloads: a new signal, 'download-requested', 186 will be emitted by WebKit when a dowload is requested. On top of 187 that, the download process has been encapsulated in a new object, 188 WebKitDownload, which allows the user to control it or to start 189 new downloads from the client side. 190 - Added webkit_web_view_get_encoding to get the automatic encoding 191 of the current page. 192 - Added GObject properties for 'encoding' and 'custom-encoding'. 193 - Added 'javascript-profiling-enabled' property to the WebInspector, 194 which allows to enable and disable the profiling functionality. 195 - Added API to create and add history items to WebKit's history. 196 - Improved debugging support with WEBKIT_DEBUG environment 197 variable. Most of the settings will only give useful output for 198 debug builds, but WEBKIT_DEBUG=Network will log all HTTP traffic 199 form libsoup to console. See WebCore/platform/gtk/LoggingGtk.cpp 200 for all the options available. 201 - Lots of bugfixes. 202 203================ 204WebKitGTK+ 1.1.1 205================ 206 207What's new in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.1? 208 209 - ABI compatibility with 1.0.3 was broken, so you will need to 210 recompile your application against 1.1.1 211 - Support for the CURL backend was dropped, libsoup is the only HTTP 212 backend now. 213 - webkit_get_default_session, to get the SoupSession used internally 214 by WebKit. 215 - 'create-web-view' signal, emitted when the creation of a new 216 window is requested. 217 - 'navigation-policy-decision-requested' signal, emitted when a 218 navigation to another page is requested. 219 - 'mime-type-policy-decision-requested' signal, emitted each time 220 WebKit is about to show a URI with a given MIME type. 221 - Support for the Web Inspector 222 (see http://webkit.org/blog/197/web-inspector-redesign/) 223 - HTTP authentication support, with optional gnome-keyring storage. 224 - New load functions: webkit_web_view_open, webkit_web_view_load_uri 225 and webkit_web_view_load_request.
