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

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

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

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

121 browser-switchboard (3.0-1) extras-devel; urgency=low
123 * New "upstream" stable release.
125 - fix the UI so that it looks for C browser-switchboard processes to send
126 SIGHUP to, not Python browser-switchboards
127 - add support for EXTRA_CFLAGS in Makefiles, to allow package builds to
128 pass additional optimization flags
129 - replace calls to `pkg-config dbus-1` in config-ui/Makefile with calls to
130 `pkg-config libosso` instead; asking for dbus-1 was incorrect and
131 covering up a problem that caused maemo extras-devel autobuilds to fail
133 - Use EXTRA_CFLAGS to generate N8x0 optimized builds, and use Thumb if
134 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS requests it.
135 - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0; no changes required.
136 - 323bf8... ("config-ui: Teach UI how to HUP C browser-switchboards")
137 merged upstream, remove from diff.
138 - Remove unneeded file debian/dirs.

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

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

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

196 * New "upstream" release.
198 - I'm now the upstream maintainer.
199 - License is clarified (GPLv2+).
200 - Use a config file ($HOME/.config/browser-proxy) for settings, if it
202 - Add support for launching Fennec and Midori out of the box.
203 - Introduce a config option default_browser for selecting the default
205 - Add support for launching an arbitrary browser using the
206 other_browser_cmd config option.
207 - Run maemo-invoker directly instead of /usr/bin/browser to avoid a loop
208 when /usr/bin/browser is a wrapper invoking browser-proxy.
209 - Add a new, private D-Bus method for a /usr/bin/browser wrapper to use.
211 - Ship a /usr/bin/browser wrapper script which ensures that launching
212 MicroB with /usr/bin/browser works when browser-proxy is installed.
213 - Update copyright to reflect licensing changes.
214 - Conflict with Mozilla's fennec-dbus-proxy (see Mozilla Bugzilla
215 #499904); both provide the com.nokia.osso_browser service and the two
216 probably shouldn't be co-installed.
