=============
Version 0.5.0
=============

Code changes

    * Port to EggMenu API
    * Make GaleonShell subclass GaleonEmbedShell.
      Now also embed services like downloader
      are able to reference it. (Marco)
    * Use mozilla prompts dialogs implementation.
      (This means you will see XUL dialogs with older
       mozilla versions) (Marco)
    * Fix embed persist lifetime issues to avoid leaks (Marco)
    * Reimplement ephy-state using xml (Marco)
    * Add to EphyNode the ability to specifiy reserved id for nodes,
      useful for toplevel nodes (Marco)
    * Rework drag and drop api to deal with more than the urls types (Marco)
    * Autoupdate EggX. Use the toolbar editor stuff from libegg. (Marco)
    * Use the latest suggested way to initialize mozilla services.
      (Marco, from galeon)

New features

    * Ability to drag bookmarks, smart bookmarks and topics
      to the toolbar (Marco)
    * Optional Go button (Dave Bordoley)
    * Help support (Patanjali Somayaji) 

Interface improvements

    * Site icons in topics menus (Johan Dahlin) 
    * Site icons on tabs (Christian Persch)
    * Set icons for History, Find, Bookmarks, Preferences dialogs
      (Dave Bordoley)
    * Bookmarks editor redesign: better interface to assign multiple
      topics, better editor interface using a toplevel window with a
      menubar, file manager like editing capabilities, ability to open
      the editor independently, "most used" special topic.
      They certainly need love, but I think we have a good direction now.
      (Marco, Dave Bordoley, Xan Lopez)
    * Properly save maximized/unmaximized state of the main window (Marco)
    * Remove spinner configuration and default to Gnome spinner,
      this should be part of gnome icon theme at some point. (Marco)
    * Remove bookmarks with delete key (Xan Lopez)
    * Alphabetical sort of topics and bookmarks in the editor (Xan Lopez)
    * Remove tab autocompletion to avoid accessibility issues (Marco)   
    * Focus the location entry when opening a new window and do not
      put the url in it, so the user can more easily insert
      the location he wants to load.
      Try to not disturb the user when he is editing the url with
      focus removals.
      All these works more or less well depending on mozilla versions :/
      (Marco)
    * Make the start-here: page use the theme colors. (James Willcox)
    * Tab load notification, using an animated image (James Willcox)
    * Several improvements to the main menubar layout and labels
      (Dave Bordoley)
    * Add "Go to" button to the history (Xan Lopez)
    * Have just one Close menu item and make it behave like
          other gnome apps, closing document by document (Marco)
    * More clear buttons labels on resume dialog (Lee Willis)
    * Make the bookmarks editor remember the last selected keyword
      (James Willcox)
    * Spinner is no more a button, like in Nautilus (Marco)
    * Ability to import galeon and konqueror
      bookmarks (James Willcox)
    * Use the title instead of url in Back/Forward history
      and in the history dialog (Marco)
    * Use favorites icons in bookmarks (Marco)
    * More usable toolbar editor based on drag and drop (Marco)
    * Enable startup feedback (Marco)
    * Disable annoying security dialogs (Marco)
