Galeon 1.3.20 “In Soviet Russia focus steals you!”

Gnome 2.10 is out and it’s time for another release. The biggest item for this release, as you might guess, is that we think we’ve finally got a complete workaround for the infamous focus stealing problem that mozilla has. Now you won’t find background tabs stealing focus from the url entry or from text entries in the current tab. Otherwise, mostly bug fixes but a couple of nice improvements to work with the enhanced startup notification in gnome 2.10. Finally, if your distro is using the patched firefox, then galeon will be able to do typeaheadfind when built against it.

Changelog:

• Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.5, 1.8a3 -> 1.8b1 and trunk
• Using FireFox patched according to the instructions on http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fMozillaPatchestype ahead find will work.
• Further improvements to the attempt to stop the focus being stolen from web pages.
• Works with Gnome 2.10:
  • Use startup notification when launching programs
