Release notes for 0.2.5
=======================

Today is a good day for an exciting release. Raise your paws... or hands
for celebration, Midori 0.2.5 is out of the door.

Notably visible validation of SSL certificates, which is reflected in
yellow or red background in the location.  There is more to come, but it
is a good step ahead. See bug 168 for further details.

For Kiosk usage, support has been enhanced. The new command line
switches --inactivity-reset and --blocked-uris can be used to reset the
session after a period of inactivity and also to restrict the accessible
websites to prevent misuse of the Kiosk interface. Feedback in bug 605
is very welcome.

A fancy new feature, targetted at those who want to extend Midori, is
Vala support for extensions. There are currently no vital parts
implemented in Vala except one example extension, and some bits are
likely missing, but you can already implement seriously good
enhancements in Vala. So anyone interested is welcome to give it a try.


Mouse Gestures now support the right mouse button and this is the
default binding. Many users requested this and should hopefully enjoy
gesturing a lot in the future.

People who like to surf the web fullscreen may find themselves losing
track of time. A solution for this is the new Status Clock extension,
which renders a clock in the statusbar.

Subtly but notably the Speed Dial now supports opening shortcuts with
number keys. Now speed dial is even more speedy.

The Network preferences have changed to easily switch between No proxy,
Manual proxy server and Automatic detection. This helps usability and
facilitiates temporary use of a proxy server.
