Release notes for 0.2.9
=======================

Notable focus of this release was on privacy features such as improving
cookie preferences, optimising saving and adding HTML5 databases as well
as form history to Clear Private Data. Websites making use of HTML5
databases will also trigger an infobar now so it is easy to Accept or
Decline.
The implementation of private browsing was improved, a private window
will look much like a normal session now respecting preferences, search
engines and keyboard shortcuts. Buttons and menus which don't make sense
won't show up anymore.

Spontaneously a Find Links feature was added, you press '.', numbers
show up next to hyperlinks and typing a number will open the according
link. If the number is not unique, you need to hit Return afterwards.
Finding inline works with ',' now because '.' is somewhat common for
Find Links in other browsers.
Have a look at the change log for other important changes.
