Download Galeon 2.0.6

Galeon is a browser for the Gnome environment, which is used on the Linux platform, among others. The program uses the Gecko engine, known from Mozilla Firefox, among others, 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. Version 2.0.6 has been available for a few days and contains the necessary changes:

Version 2.0.6 “Pining for the Fjords”

• Works with Firefox 2 and 3 and xulrunner 1.8 and 1.9
  • Thanks to Alexander Sack and Loïc Minier for the xulrunner 1.9 patches.
  • With Firefox 3/xulrunner 1.9, functionality remains crippled as documented below.
• Support for older versions of Mozilla have been removed. You can use 2.0.5 to build against them if you need to.
• GConf pref added to suppress close confirmation for web forms.

Version 2.0.5 “1 step forward, 2 steps back”

• Works with Firefox 1.5.x and xulrunner 1.8.x
• Compiles with xulrunner 1.9, but a lot of functionality is disabled due to being no longer exposed by xulrunner (or not working)
  • MyPortal
  • User style sheets
  • Remembering passwords
  • http authentication
• Support for external mailers which don’t understand mailto: urls is completely removed. Pretty much all modern mailers support them now.

Version 2.0.4 “Probably not a bad idea.”

• Works with Firefox 1.5.x and xulrunner 1.8.x. Probably older stuff too.
• Some useful bug fixes.

Version 2.0.3 “Brown-bag it!”

• 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
• Fixed compilation against Mozilla 1.7.5+ to actually work.
