Galeon is een browser voor de Gnome-omgeving, dat onder andere op het Linux-platform gebruikt word. Het programma maakt gebruik van de Gecko-engine, bekend uit onder andere Mozilla Firefox, 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 nog steeds nieuwe versies uit van deze browser. Versie 2.0.6 is sinds enkele dagen beschikbaar en bevat weer de nodige veranderingen:
Version 2.0.6 "Pining for the Fjords"Version 2.0.5 "1 step forward, 2 steps back"
- Works with Firefox 2 and 3 and xulrunner 1.8 and 1.9
- Thanks to Alexander Sack and Loïc Minier for the xulrunner 1.9 patches.
- With Firefox 3/xulrunner 1.9, functionality remains crippled as documented below.
- Support for older versions of Mozilla have been removed. You can use 2.0.5 to build against them if you need to.
- GConf pref added to suppress close confirmation for web forms.
Version 2.0.4 "Probably not a bad idea."
- Works with Firefox 1.5.x and xulrunner 1.8.x
- Compiles with xulrunner 1.9, but a lot of functionality is disabled due to being no longer exposed by xulrunner (or not working)
- MyPortal
- User stylesheets
- Remembering passwords
- http authentication
- Support for external mailers which don't understand mailto: urls is completely removed. Pretty much all modern mailers support them now.
Version 2.0.3 "Brown-bag it!"
- Works with Firefox 1.5.x and xulrunner 1.8.x. Probably older stuff too.
- Some useful bug fixes.
- Works with Mozilla 1.7.5+, Seamonkey 1.0+, Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5+, and xulrunner 1.8+ and trunk builds as of 16/09/06
- Fixed compilation against Mozilla 1.7.5+ to actually work.
