Release notes for 0.3.5
=======================
[Please note that this is a development release.]
[This is a stable release.]
So Midori is going full speed ahead, we support the new libSoup cache
now (WebKitGTK+ 1.3.11 or greater required) which supersedes the old
extension, support for F6, F7 and Ctrl(+Shift)+Tab and Tab in completion
and a faster speed dial, which is still in the middle of even greater
improvements, so stay stuned for more goodness in the future.
Private browsing has received a number of improvements such as masking
of the timezone, language, architecture and Netscape plugins, disabling
of DNS prefetching, disabling all HTML5 storage facilities and stripping
referrer details - the last one is also available as a preference in the
Privacy options now, and prevents unrelated websites from seeing search
strings or sub pages. You can use the --private switch on the command
line now to open a window in private browsing mode.
Motivated by user agent changes of Firefox and Chrome, Midori takes the
opportunity to omit the language and encryption from the user agent, and
prefixes with Mozilla now in an attempt at increasing uniformity of user
agents. It resolves typical issues such as Facebook and other websites
mistaking Midori for a mobile phone browser or Google hiding interface
tweaks (you know, the guys doing their best to ignore their own ideals).
