Download Galeon 1.2.14

Galeon is a browser for the Gnome environment on the Linux platform. The program uses the Gecko render engine of the Mozilla browser and offers full compatibility with various standards. The developers have recently released a new stable release with version number 1.2.14. The release notes look like this:

Galeon 1.2.14 “End of the Line”

Well, after far too long, here’s a new 1.2.x release to coincide with the Mozilla 1.7 release. It’s also significant because I’m not planning to try and keep up with mozilla beyond 1.7. AA font support is no longer supported for gtk1 builds of mozilla 1.8, making it pretty clear that it’s viewed as deprecated so this seems a good point to stop. Nevertheless, those of you still using 1.2.x, enjoy!

• Compatible with: 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.2.1, 1.3.1, 1.4.1, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7
• No more keeping track of new mozilla releases after 1.7
  • 1.7 will be the next ‘stable’ release (previously was 1.4.x)
  • Xft/Freetype2 support with gtk1 has been removed from mozilla trunk so you can’t get nice fonts with newer versions of mozilla. As a result, I forsee a distinct lack of demand for support for 1.8a upward.
