Hi all, With the release of OTA-10 just around the corner, I figured I’d take a few minutes to publish a list of the most significant changes in the browser app since OTA-9 (Łukasz feel free to re-use for the release notes):
[Touch] - Touch selection controller to allow selecting/copying/pasting of web content. [Convergence] - The browser is now a single-instance app on desktop: invoking it in a terminal with a URL will raise the existing window and open a new tab instead of launching another instance of the app. - When a mouse is connected, turn the bottom edge hint into a clickable bottom edge bar. - Added keyboard navigation support to all views in phone layout. [Misc] - Added video-specific actions to the contextual menu (save video, and open video in new tab). - Removed the "Allow opening new tabs in background" setting. - React to low memory situations by unloading background tabs to (hopefully) free up some memory. This removes the hardcoded upper limit of 2 live webviews at any given time on devices. And a heap of bug fixes. Anyone interested in details, have a look at the bzr history for lp:webbrowser-app, revisions 1328 to 1390. Happy web browsing!
