Galeon 2.0.7 Released!

[Philip Langdale-4]

Hi all,

I've just pushed the 2.0.7 release. This is notable because it reaches
what I consider the bare minimum of firefox 3/xulrunner 1.9 support to
be usable (I'm now doing my day-to-day browsing against xulrunner 1.9)

Handling private SSL certs is less than perfect but at least it's possible.
Apart from that, everything is pretty much as it should be.

2.0.7 "Surprise!"

- Works with Firefox 2/3 and Xulrunner 1.8/1.9
   - Restored support for http authentication by Mike Hommey <mh@...>
   - Restored support for remembering passwords.
   - Partially restored support for user stylesheets.
     - Effect is global rather than per page but UI doesn't reflect this.

Great work!  Thanks!
I wonder, does this also mean that the keyword support works?
The fact that this no longer works might not have reached you guys,
but got stuck in Debian's BTS[1].  If not, I'm sorry about this, I was
not sure if the Galeon bugzilla BTS was still looked at.

Kind regards,

Paul

That's not how it's meant to work. You're supposed to create smart
bookmarks and then assign a nickname to them.

eg: My google SBM is:

nickname: google
smart url: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

and I can type 'google foobar' in the location field and it will do
the search.

I know.  I used to use that, but I switched from my local smart bookmark
system to a more online, centralized and community managed one, such as
YubNub[1].  And up until Galeon 2.0.5, that use to work just fine.
Consider the search keyword URL to be a "default" smart bookmark.  With
the previous Gecko transition (a few years ago?) this got broken, and
fixed.  And now it broke again.  So, for the moment, I stopped updating
after 2.0.4.  I could make a smart bookmark for YubNub, but that would
defeat the purpose.

Regards,
Paul

Well, I can't speak to how it ever worked, but looking at the mozilla code,
I can readily see why it does not work and what change in mozilla would be
required to fix it.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/embedding/browser/gtk/src/EmbedPrivate.cpp#437

Replace

 nsIWebNavigation::LOAD_FLAGS_NONE

with

 nsIWebNavigation::LOAD_FLAGS_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY_FIXUP

Since this does still work fine with Epiphany on my local installation,
which uses the same xulrunner 1.9, does this imply that Epiphany does
something on this side for this?
I have always assumed that this URL-mangling happened withing Gecko and
Galeon just passed it on as long as keyword.enabled == true and
keyword.URL is set.

Kind regards,
Paul
