Software Update: Galeon 2.0.2

Galeon is a browser for the Gnome environment on the Linux platform, among others. The program uses the Gecko rendering engine from Mozilla’s browsers and offers full compatibility with the various current standards. Although the developers have decided to add the Galeon features to Epiphany, new versions of this browser are still being released at the moment. Version 2.0.2 has recently been released and contains the necessary improvements:

After a very long break, I finally got round to pushing out a new galeon release. It’s just some minor bug fixes and compatibility updates so you can use with the latest firefox/xulrunner betas and trunk.

Version 2.0.2 “It’s a long and winding road”:

• Works with Mozilla 1.7.5+, Seamonkey 1.0+, Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5+, and xulrunner 1.8+ and trunk builds as of 9/16/06
• Bug fixes: 333149
• Otherwise, just compatibility fixes
  Building against trunk builds of xulrunner requires an explicit argument to configure: –enable-libxpcomglue_s
  It is hard to detect when it is required, so it must be specified manually. To add insult to injury, the file (libxpcomglue_s.a) is not shipped with pre-built xulrunners, so you’ll have to dig it out of the build tree and put it somewhere that the galeon build can find it.
