Epiphany Bookmarks Patch - b7 and h7



Hi.

* What is it ?
==============

This is a pair of patches for the Epiphany web browser (part of GNOME). 

Patch b7 provides a code cleanup of the bookmarks UI and removes the
bookmarks bar (preparing for some future reworking of the toolbar
code). 

Patch h7 includes this cleanup but also provides automatic hierarchical
bookmark menus. It does this without violating the spirit of the
topic-based approach Epiphany uses. It also provides a useful
enhancement to the topic selector based on the same principle as that
used for generating hierarchical bookmark menus. 

The h7 release contains mostly bugfixes over the previous h6 release.
The b7 release is the first for this series.

Release h7 and b7 both apply to Epiphany 1.4.4 from CVS (which is the
stable release for GNOME 2.8).

* What's changed for h7 and b7 ?
================================

    * Updated patch for 1.4.4.
    * Fixed bugs causing crashes when bookmarks were added (thanks Reinout).
    * Added "Open in Tabs" back into bookmark menus where suitable.
    * First release of the b-series of patches.

* What's planned for the next release ?
=======================================

    * Continue tracking stable Epiphany (I don't have latest GTK+).
    * Continue separating bookmarks code from the core code, aiming to
      have bookmarks as an extension (soon?).
    * Start reworking toolbar code, aiming for more consistent toolbar 
      editing and explicit support for extensions.

* Where can I get the current release ?
