Galeon is een browser voor de Gnome-omgeving op onder andere het Linux-platform. Het programma maakt gebruik van de render engine Gecko uit de browser Mozilla en biedt volledige compatibiliteit met de verschillende huidige standaarden. Hoewel de ontwikkelaars besloten hebben om de Galeon-features aan Epiphany toe te voegen komen er op dit moment nog wel nieuwe versies uit van deze browser. Versie 2.0.0 is sinds kort beschikbaar en bevat weer de de nodige verbeteringen:
Yes, the day is finally upon us. As I promised when I announced our future development plans, here's the actual Galeon 2.0 release. Its' been about 3 years and 8 months since work began on the 1.3.x development series and it's been unofficially stable for about half that time - so this acknowledgement of that fact is well past due.
As such, we have another modest changelog:
Version 2.0.0 "One for the road.":The big item is really compatibility with firefox 1.5 (assuming they don't do anything silly in the next couple of days...).
- Works with mozilla 1.7.5+, 1.8a3 and up; Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5
- Embedded http error message pages. (If mozilla support them)
- Security Device Manager button in security prefs.
- Delete key works in Personal Data Manager.
- Support for multimedia keyboard keys like Back and Forward.
- Other bug fixes.
I'll repeat my assurance that this doesn't mean we're just stopping galeon development cold; it's going to be quite a while before enough work has been completed to make epiphany my primary browser so, if nothing else, expect to see periodic releases that keep it compiling against newer mozilla releases. You might even see a bug fix or two.
