ANN: midori version 0.1.5 released

[Jonathan Hepburn]

That's excellent news. Midori is my favourite small-fast-light
browser, and convinced me to install WebKit and libs unique and soup
from source.

As a point of interest: I use Google Docs relatively extensively, and
so tried it out in Midori (git version of both M and W) and got a
"Browser unsupported" message. Which was a bummer. However, there was
an extra message to append "?browserok=true" to the end of the URL if
I wanted to try it anyway, and guess what? Seems to work flawlessly.

I can hardly claim to have given it a complete workout, but
considering that this is WebKit we're talking about, I can't see that
there would be much broken.

You may want to drop a line to Google suggesting that they update
their browser tests :)

Slainte,
J
