====================================================
Epiphany 2.21.4 "The Case of Mr. Epifanio Navegared"
====================================================

A big refactoring of the Epiphany internals was done in order to achieve better
cross-engine support. It can be roughly separated in two chunks:

 - EphyTab and its usage of GtkMozEmbed specific signals was transformed
   into generic code under EphyBaseEmbed with backend-agnostic gobject-properties.
   Backends are now encouraged to subclass EphyBaseEmbed and update its
   properties to keep them in sync with the engine state. In turn, the browser
   chrome will connect to the notify:: signals for the properties to update its
   UI to reflect those changes.

-  In some situations the embed/ code will need to know some specific details of
   the fronted (for example, the active child among all the embed instances in the
   popup management code). Instead of directly accessing the frontend, a generic
   EphyEmbedContainer interface has been created, offering all the needed methods.
   In Epiphany, this interface is implemented by EphyWindow.

Bug fixes:
    * Add saved files to the GtkRecent list. Fixes Bug #148401.
    * Make cursor be at the end of the URL when selecting entries from the
      completion popup. Fixes bug #466344.
    * Fix multihead problems in toolbar editor.
    * Fix download-icon toolip updates. Fixes bug #343238.
    * Default to Cancel on Cert dialogues. Fixes bug #163379.
    * Remove "Add bookmark" and "Save as" from the document context menu.
      Part of bug #332968.
    * Fix completion model to show icons for history items too,
      history/bookmarks/favicon_cache service objects are now stored in the
      completion priv. Fixes bug #459811.
    * Sets page header and footer margins to a reasonable value when printing.
      Workaround for bug #346110.
    * Adds a check for NULL pointer in ephy-session.c, fixing wrong behaviour when
      restoring Epiphany in some cases. Fix for bug #488718.
    * Updates to new NetworkManager API signals for status monitoring.
    * Take the page orientation from the page setup, not from the print settings.
      Bug #485670 (see also gtk+ bug #485685).
    * Makes the Go button behaviour consistent with the "Enter" behaviour. Both
      actions search for keywords or load the url. Fixes #484178.
    * EphyContentPolicy::ShouldLoad: use the same content policy for
      http and https, allowing adblock to work on https. Fixes bug #471583.
    * Make Epiphany properly remember the last saved location in the FileChooser.
      Fix for bug #336251.
    * Make session recovery focus work properly and remember the active tab.
      Fixes bug #317272.
    * Fix disable_toolbar_editing lockdown not respected for Remove and Move
      actions on toolbar buttons. Fixes bug #475641.
    * Change the hint of the bookmarking properties dialog to DIALOG, instead
      of NORMAL. Make bookmarking work in fullscreen mode and does not put
      bookmark properties windows in the taskbar. Fixes bug #478928.
    * Find toolbar now remembers last pattern searched also when opened with
      slash or apostrophe. Fixes bug #343337.
    * Add a somewhat tricky fix for url titles not visible on the completion 
      popup of the location entry when using a dark theme (like Darkilouche).
      Fixes bug #446898.
    * Private instances of Epiphany now remove the profile dir on exit.
      Note that the profile dir won't be deleted if it's a custom path.
      Fixes bug #329680.
    * Make "Up" button dropdown menu show titles instead of URLs for already
      visited pages. Fix for bug #323764.
    * Remove ellipsis from View -> Page Security Information, as it does not
      require further user interaction to complete. Fix for bug #483312.
    * Hide Back/Forward buttons when disable_history lockdown key is enabled.
      Fixes bug #394795.
    * Add explanation label to "Only from sites you visit" radio button.
      Fixes bug 493422.
	
Changes: 
    * Add accessibility theme icons for our apps icon.
    * Enable printing to PDF file on gecko 1.9, now that moz#367907 is
      fixed.
    * Make 'Not found' on find toolbar temporarily bold and sounds the 
      bell signal when searching on a page and no results are
      found. Fixes bug #363004.
    * Makes tooltips for Back and Forward buttons display the titles of
      relative pages. Fixes bug #341400. 
    * Add drag-and-drop of URLs onto "New Tab" and "New Window" buttons in
      the toolbar. Fixes bug #382383.
    * Add a broom icon in the search entry of the History window,
      like in Bookmarks Editor. Fixes bug #476179.
    * Use friendly display for mailto: links; shows a nice text in status bar
      when hovering a mailto: link. Fixes bug #339161.
    * Fix the build of the custom GTK+ filepicker. Add a preview for the 
      FileChooser. The default size is 150x150. Fixes bug #440859.
    * Make the location entry completion cells smarter, now bookmarks take the 
      full width of the popup. Also make titles of history entries align
      to the left so it's easier to browse a lot of entries with similar 
      titles. Almost-fixes bug #419475.
    * Change the "Powered by" name in the About dialog according to the used
      backend. Fix for bug #478196.
    * Display "Execute script <title>" string as tooltip for bookmark action
      instead of the whole javascript code when bookmarking a scriptlet.
      Fix bug #492695.
    * Update to latest EggToolbarEditor code.
      This supports changing the editor's model during runtime and
      tries to avoid some possibly leaking signal handlers. Fixes bug #493149.
    * Adds a column in the history window showing the date and the time of the
      visit, substitutes radiobuttons with checkboxes in the View menu of the 
      window. Fix bug #380156.
    * Enable a --with-distributor-name configure option, defaulting to Epiphany.
      Use it on an error page to designate the distributors/developers to
      contact. Fixes bug #433796.
    * Add a "Remove all" button to the Personal Data Manager for both the
      cookies and the passwords. Addresses bug #148314.
    * Fix a bug in EphyNodeView which caused problems when setting columns
      as resizable; thanks to Kristian Rietveld for finding out the cause.
      Make history window columns resizable and bookmarks editor columns
      resizable and sortable. Fixes bug #132808.
