Changes in 1.0 alpha 1 since 0.9 alpha 2
Significant new features and improvements
Drawing speed on pages with multiple animations is much improved, as
is typing speed on many pages.
Camino now has certificate management capabilities.
Camino now saves the list of downloads between sessions. Downloads can
be paused and resumed.
Ad-blocking is much improved, no longer requires a restart, and does
not interfere with userContent.css.
Camino now has a preference to limit image animations.
New features
On first launch Camino will ask if you wish to set it as the default
browser (which can be turned off).
The location sheet now supports autocompletion and bookmark keywords
just like the main location bar.
You can choose page header/footer configuration when printing now (in
the Camino section of the print dialog).
Print orientation and other page setup details are now correctly
remembered between runs.
Double-clicking on tab bar background now creates a new foreground
tab.
Improved behavior when opening multiple items in tabs, and opening
tabs from external applications.
The about:config preference editor works better.
Security-related features
Certificate-related dialogs have been improved, and now show the
details of the certificate in question
It is now possible to trust a new Certificate Authority, and
create certificates.
You can view the set of certificates that Camino ships with, and
any that you have downloaded, in the Certificates window accessible
from the Security preferences panel.
Bookmarks
Custom favorite icons are now shown for Bookmarks, History, and local
files.
Fixed the window title when viewing Bookmarks and History.
Bookmarking a URL with a relative anchor works correctly now.
New bookmark folders, and pasted items, are now created after the
selected item in the Bookmarks view.
Added Command+Shift+N shortcut for creating a new bookmark folder.
Fixed a potential crash when dragging a bookmark to the bookmark bar.
When the bookmark title for a linked image is empty, we now use the
URL.
Fixed some problems in the bookmark bar when deleting certain items
(like the dock menu folder).
The bookmarks splitter location is saved now.
Bookmark folder expanded states are now saved correctly.
Dragging multiple items from the history view works now.
The Export Bookmarks save dialog now has the 'Show/Hide Extension'
checkbox.
Download manager
The list of downloaded files is now saved on quit, so that downloads
from previous sessions are preserved.
You can now pause and resume a download now.
Destructive toolbar actions are now disabled when the downloads window
is not active.
Long text in a download instance is now truncated.
Preferences
Added a preference to control image animations.
We now read Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) settings from the System
Preferences .
We added a new hidden preference,
"camino.use_system_proxy_settings" which affects whether we
read the proxy settings from the OS at all. Setting this to
"false" allows you to specify you own proxy settings using
hidden preferences.
Logging of CSS and JavaScript errors in the Console is now off by
default.
Fixed some issues when editing cookies and permissions, related to
filtering and removing items.
The "Use system Home Page" checkbox has been removed, and
the home page is no longer read from Internet Config.
Performance
Pages with repeating background images now draw much more quickly.
Startup is much faster now with big bookmark collections.
Plugins
Camino now ships with the Java Embedding Plugin
(http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/), which provides support for Java
1.4 (Java 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.4). This fixes many Java issues.
Control-clicking on a plugin shows the plugin's context menu now.
Scrolling with the scroll wheel now works for plugins that handle it.
General
Camino now has a "Camino Support" item in the menu bar which
leads you to the www.caminobrowser.org support section.
You can add a "Show History" button to the main toolbar now.
Implemented "Use selection for find" for finding things on
pages.
New windows now tile with the correct offset.
Click-holding on the back/forward buttons now drops down the history
menus more promptly.
When saving a webpage as plain text, we now properly attach the .txt
extension to it.
When hitting Return in an empty location bar, we now keep focus in the
location bar.
We now hide the scrollbar when a popup is opened without the scrollbar
flag.
The user can now show/hide the toolbar and bookmark bar in a popup
window (making the location visible)
Installation
A license agreement is presented when mounting the disk image now.
Localization
We moved the bookmarks.plist file into the localized folder so default
bookmarks can be tailored per localization.
Bookmarks Manager page/tab title is now localizable
