Hello everybody,

balsa-2.5.1 has been released with a next batch of goodies:

- new message header widget
- WebkitGtk2 widget integration
- ported to GNetworkMonitor
- yet another documentation port
- initial config assistant improvements.

I love it!  I've just compiled, and it not only works, but it solves some problems I have been having for a 
while.

Glad it works for you!

With the previous few versions, clicking to download images in the html view always crashed balsa.  I've just 
tried every message I still have that did this, and they all display fine.   I also had a bunch of messages 
with badly formed html which used to crash balsa - they all display fine now.

Sounds like you're using WebKit2...

I'm using Gentoo, so if anyone wants a copy of the modified ebuild I used, just ask, although it was minimal 
changes from the portage version for 2.4.13.

One possible question though - I used webkitgtk, and the ebuild seems to specify using version 2.  However, it is 
actually linking to libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0 which I think is for gtk3, as I also have libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.  I'll have 
to go back and recreate the configure logs to confirm, but if I'm right, it means I'm using gtk+-3.4.4 (the latest 
stable for me in Gentoo) which seems like another "good thing."

As I understand it, libwebkitgtk-3.0 is the version that's required for an app that links against Gtk-3.0.  
It provides libs for both Webkit2 and WebKit (original, now = 1?).  So you could configure with either 
--with-html-widget=webkit or =webkit2.  I've tested mainly only webkit2, because, like you, I find that it 
can show HTML mail parts that always crashed webkit(1).  It does have the downside of the second scrollbar; 
suggestions for getting rid of that are welcome!

Best,

Peter
