Release notes for 0.5.0
=======================
Time for Midori 0.5.0. I'll say upfront the big number 5 doesn't convey
any major amazements or surprises. What this number does mean is two
things that will unfold their true meaning in the near future: We're
adding support for WebKit2 behind the scenes, much of which didn't make
the feature freeze. Another behind the scenes feature is improved
extension loading, which will enable extensions in private browsing or
in app mode.

A small highlight is in fact the Cookie Security Manager. What's hiding
behind this name you may wonder. Accepting, or rejecting and managing
cookies per site as they come in in real-time with infobars. The perfect
augmentation for Cookie Manager and of course nice in combination with
Clear Private Data and Adblock.

On the command line and kiosk use case front, -e or --execute has become
a great deal more powerful. It's now trivial to update any settings at
startup or during runtime, as well as enabling or disabling extensions.

There's more treats to be found, such as completely configurable Mouse
Gestures, waiting for a GUI to be added, maybe a good starting point for
a new contributor. And History List finally supports ColorFul Tabs
fully.

As of this release, any proxy server type supported by libproxy will in
fact be accepted. The server including the protocol can be set via its
curl-esque syntax in the preferences.
