8 browser-switchboard (3.3~b2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
10 * New "upstream" development release.
12 - only offer installed browsers in the config GUI
13 - make continuous mode operation the default; disable non-continuous-mode
14 on Fremantle (needed for correct operation on D-Bus system bus)
15 - Fremantle: major overhaul of MicroB launching to improve robustness;
16 should result in speed and behavior indistinguishable from when Browser
17 Switchboard isn't installed when MicroB is configured as default browser
18 - listen on D-Bus system bus as well as session bus, to accommodate some
19 broken applications that send their requests on the system bus
20 - Fremantle: start browser-switchboard on X session startup, and also
21 prestart MicroB if it's the default browser or the user asks for it
22 - Fremantle: prestart MicroB when the user changes to MicroB as the default
25 - Update package description to mention that we ship a control panel
26 applet, to help users who don't read documentation. Thanks to Emanuele
27 Cassioli for pointing out the need.

31 browser-switchboard (3.3~b1-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
33 * New "upstream" development release.
35 - add support for Opera Mobile
36 - fall back to the built-in default if the user's configured default
37 browser isn't installed
38 - introduce a command-line config utility; this is mainly intended to give
39 browser vendors a way to set their browser as the default
40 - provide a description for users who don't know what MicroB is; thanks
41 Emanuele Cassioli for pointing out the need
42 - major rewrite of configuration loading/saving code
43 * Cherry-pick addb0ed9... ("Add command-line utility to Makefile install
46 - Build and install the new command-line config utility.

57 browser-switchboard (3.2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
59 * New "upstream" stable release.
61 - make the "Web" menu entry and /usr/bin/browser open the default browser,
62 and provide a new "MicroB" menu entry and /usr/bin/microb script for
63 launching MicroB; the previous behavior was counterintuitive and
65 - Fremantle: fix launching and closing MicroB on Fremantle; thanks Faheem
66 Pervez and Uwe Kaminski for extensive testing
67 - Fremantle: force the Ovi Store bookmark to open in MicroB, since Ovi
68 Store doesn't load in other browsers; thanks ToJa92 of t.m.o for
70 - add ability to send debug output to syslog and new config setting
71 ("logging") to control where debug output goes; thanks Faheem Pervez for
73 - close stdin/stdout/stderr in child processes before the exec(), to make
74 debug output on stdout less noisy
75 - fix some abuses of the D-Bus API in launcher.c:launch_tear()
76 - make sure a running browserd is detected correctly on all devices so that
77 we don't try to launch another one; thanks Faheem Pervez for reporting
78 - ensure that only one browser-switchboard is active at any time
79 - update build system; we now have "diablo" and "fremantle" targets that
80 build binaries for the selected OS release
81 - link binaries with -Wl,--as-needed to eliminate unnecessary dependencies
83 - Build with Thumb by default and provide a "nothumb" build option to turn
84 it off, instead of building with Thumb only when requested; the
85 autobuilders aren't requesting Thumb, but we want it by default.
86 - Update debian/rules for the new upstream build system.

98 browser-switchboard (3.1-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
100 * New "upstream" stable release.
102 - add a new, more finger-friendly GUI for Fremantle, based on work by
103 Faheem Pervez (build UI with EXTRA_CPPFLAGS=-DFREMANTLE)
104 - make sure reconfig signal (SIGHUP) doesn't interrupt dispatch of a
105 request when continuous mode is off
106 - disable autocapitalization and predictive text features for the
107 other_browser_cmd entry in the UI
108 - add support for EXTRA_CPPFLAGS in Makefiles, to allow package builds to
109 pass feature/configuration defines; add EXTRA_LDFLAGS too, just in case

113 browser-switchboard (3.0-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
115 * New "upstream" stable release.
117 - fix the UI so that it looks for C browser-switchboard processes to send
118 SIGHUP to, not Python browser-switchboards
119 - add support for EXTRA_CFLAGS in Makefiles, to allow package builds to
120 pass additional optimization flags
121 - replace calls to `pkg-config dbus-1` in config-ui/Makefile with calls to
122 `pkg-config libosso` instead; asking for dbus-1 was incorrect and
123 covering up a problem that caused maemo extras-devel autobuilds to fail
125 - Use EXTRA_CFLAGS to generate N8x0 optimized builds, and use Thumb if
126 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS requests it.
127 - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0; no changes required.
128 - 323bf8... ("config-ui: Teach UI how to HUP C browser-switchboards")
129 merged upstream, remove from diff.
130 - Remove unneeded file debian/dirs.

134 browser-switchboard (3.0~rc1-2) extras-devel; urgency=low
136 * Actually upload to extras-devel.
137 * Replace the dependency on libdbus-1-dev and the call to pkg-config for
138 dbus-1 with libosso-dev and libosso, respectively, as that's the package
139 the control panel plugin interface actually needs. Fixes autobuild.

143 browser-switchboard (3.0~rc1-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
145 * New "upstream" prerelease.
147 - move to an all-C implementation for better performance and memory usage
148 - add a configuration hildon-control-panel plugin
149 - make MicroB the default default browser
151 - Accommodate the move to C:
152 + Package is now Arch: any.
153 + Revise Build-Depends and Depends appropriately.
154 + debian/postrm now kills off both Python and C browser-switchboards.
155 + debian/rules: build an Arch: any package, use the new Makefile-based
156 build and install, dh_strip the binaries, make shlibdeps.
157 * Cherry-pick 323bf8...
158 ("config-ui: Teach UI how to HUP C browser-switchboards") from Git master.

162 browser-switchboard (2.2-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
164 * New "upstream" release.
166 - rename the package to browser-switchboard
167 - move the config file to $HOME/.config/browser-switchboard, and fall back
168 to the old location if no config file is found
169 - if no config file is found and Tear isn't installed, launch MicroB;
170 this avoids breaking link opening on a system with a freshly installed
171 browser-switchboard package and Tear not installed
172 - substantial documentation update
174 - Rename the package to browser-switchboard; Conflict with browser-proxy
175 to make sure that users don't try to install over it. browser-proxy
176 needs to be uninstalled before installing browser-switchboard.
177 - Drop the Depends on tear, now that installing browser-switchboard
178 doesn't break link opening when Tear isn't installed. Recommend
179 tear | fennec | midori instead.
180 - Add a friendly display name for the application manager in
182 - Update the package description.

188 * New "upstream" release.
190 - I'm now the upstream maintainer.
191 - License is clarified (GPLv2+).
192 - Use a config file ($HOME/.config/browser-proxy) for settings, if it
194 - Add support for launching Fennec and Midori out of the box.
195 - Introduce a config option default_browser for selecting the default
197 - Add support for launching an arbitrary browser using the
198 other_browser_cmd config option.
199 - Run maemo-invoker directly instead of /usr/bin/browser to avoid a loop
200 when /usr/bin/browser is a wrapper invoking browser-proxy.
201 - Add a new, private D-Bus method for a /usr/bin/browser wrapper to use.
203 - Ship a /usr/bin/browser wrapper script which ensures that launching
204 MicroB with /usr/bin/browser works when browser-proxy is installed.
205 - Update copyright to reflect licensing changes.
206 - Conflict with Mozilla's fennec-dbus-proxy (see Mozilla Bugzilla
207 #499904); both provide the com.nokia.osso_browser service and the two
208 probably shouldn't be co-installed.
