What's new in Epiphany 3.7.1:

October 24th, 2012

· *NOTE* this release removes support for traditional extensions (as found in the 'epiphany-extensions' module and elsewhere). They will *not* work anymore, and won't be loaded on startup. See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/epiphany-list/2012-October/msg00006.html for a longer explanation. (#685630)
· Adblock is now imported into the core browser, disabled by default. See Preferences->Privacy to enable it (#681657)
· Remove JavaScript preference from the UI. Pretty much every single page the average user visits needs JavaScript, so this is a "Please break my web" preference in disguise. For those concerned about security and/or privacy the GSetting remains available. (#685393)
· Merge the application menu in the gear menu when not running under the Shell. (#673054)
· Do not automatically load resources we cannot handle unless they are the main resource in the page. (#683635)
· Many other bugfixes.

· Port to GtkApplication
· Do not use GNOME font settings as our default, just rely on more generic system config ("sans", "serif")

· Add a border and some padding around the floating statusbar.
· Do a DNS prefetch on the completion items when the cursor is set over them more than a 1/4th of a second. Should speed-up page loading. (#606087)

What's new in Epiphany 2.91.90:

February 23rd, 2011

· Port statusbar to GeditOverlay; fixes a bunch of bugs and should be more efficient.
