What's new

v1.2 [Oct 28, 2011]
1. Updated MacGPG2 software to version 2.0.17-9.
2. Allow the user to modify the default Dooble Search page (Settings window's Home tab).
3. Changed Dooble Search text (Settings window's Home tab) to Home.
4. Changed default Arial sizes from 12 to 10 for Windows platforms.
5. Removed redundant dview::load() calls during Dooble initialization.
6. Resolved ticket 3399328. (Was saving a session passphrase.)
7. Improved checking of settings (Dooble.ini) values.
8. Modified dhistory's timer interval from 1 second to 2.5 seconds.
9. Modified history purging so it only occurs during Dooble launch and termination. (Saving precious resources.)
10. Qt products have been upgraded to version 4.7.4 on OS X and Windows platforms.
11. Decreased tab widths.
12. Improved Settings window sizing.
13. Ability to hide the HTTP referrer.
14. Ability to block third-party HTML frame content.
15. The tab bar did not respect visibility setting after exiting the full-screen mode. Fixed.
16. The file and FTP managers incorrectly displayed internal objects that were intended to be hidden.
17. Clicking an FTP link from an HTML document failed to load the link. Fixed.
18. Added the Wikinews search engine.
19. Viewing of HTML frame source now provided.
20. Prevent Dooble from deleting the user's input into the URL widget after the urlChanged() signal has been captured.
21. Removed application modality from the Settings window.
22. Removed references of obsolete settings (Dooble.ini).
23. Added the XSS Auditing option under the Security tab of the Settings window.
24. Improved dooble::slotFlashHack(). This slot is issued if Web plugins are enabled and the window system is X11. Its purpose is to correct potentially-distorted windows.
25. Corrected version 1.24's item #44.
26. Modified the tab-adding mechanism so that new tabs are added after the current tab. Option to simply append the tab is also provided.
27. Clarified "switching to new tabs" option under the Settings window's Tabs panel.
28. Dooble will, if permitted, display the current site's IP address in the window title. This feature may be a first in the browser world.
29. Added missing QDialog::Accepted checks to various if-statements.
30. Validate potentially-invalid (NULL) objects before use.
31. Created a wonderful, yet troublesome, workaround for an event-loop issue. The signals emitted from dview::slotHandleUnsupportedContent() are captured by a slot that calls a function that launches a modal file dialog. At times, Qt decides to terminate because of this. Fixed.
32. Downloads suffered from potential memory exhaustion. Fixed.
33. Improved ddownloadwindowitem::isDownloading(). The previous version was weak.
34. Beautified multiple aspects of the user experience.
35. Added an install target to dooble.osx.pro. (sudo make install) At times, qmake does not properly create all required targets.
36. Added dooble.ultrasparc.pro for g++ on Sun Ultra machines.
37. Added support for providing credentials to proxies whenever they request such information.
38. Beautified passphrase dialog.
39. Wikinews and TheOpenGlobe RSS Ticker added to the default page (locale-based search.html).
40. dsettingshomelinewidget widgets were not capturing iconsChanged() signals. Fixed. These widgets are the textfield widgets under the Settings window's Home panel.
41. Changed QNetworkProxyQuery's query type from TcpSocket to UrlRequest. QNetworkProxyQuery is used for system-level proxies.
42. Prevent Dooble from opening the same URL in the current page as well as a new tab (window) after a link has been clicked. Links should either be displayed in the current page or a new frame, but not both.
43. Added toLower() to various QUrl::scheme() references.
44. Modified QWebView's context menu so that it differentiates between links and e-mail addresses.
45. Introduced the History sidebar. As a result of this new feature, the dhistorymodel class was implemented. The "one model, thousands of views" approach is quite powerful. Dragging items from the sidebar and dropping them onto a page will activate one or more load requests. Unlike other browsers, Dooble allows for multiple selections to be dragged and dropped.
46. Introduced "PRAGMA journal_mode = OFF". Dooble does not explicitly use database transactions. Please note that cookies are not subjected to this setting.
47. dmisc::setCipherPassphrase() must reset variables upon setKey() failure. The set of variables being reset was incomplete. Fixed.
48. Renamed Bookmarks Toolbar to Favorites Toolbar. Dooble does not yet support bookmarks.
49. The dfilemanager class now supports copying. Copying while dragging and dropping are directly supported by Qt via the Control key. OS X users may be required to use an alternative key.
50. Added source information to the Downloads window.
51. Fixed a monumental memory problem in dooble::initializeHistoryMenu().
