How do I assign different keyboard shortcuts?
Answer:
If you want to rebind a shortcut, Galeon supports the standard GTK+ way of changing shortcuts: simply hover over the menu option with the mouse pointer and press the keyboard shortcut you want to rebind it to.
To delete a keyboard assignment, press the Backspace key while you are on the menu entry.
If the shortcut doesn't change, then you need to enable the feature in gtk. This can
be achieved in 2 ways:
If you are running GNOME then you can enable Editable menu accelerators in the Menu and Toolbars control centre dialogue, or alternatively run:
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels true
If you don't run GNOME, put the following in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
gtk-can-change-accels=1

Tip: Bookmark nicknames
Bookmark nicknames are a quick way to access your favorite bookmarks and smart bookmarks. Instead of using the mouse to locate the bookmark from the menu, you just type the nickname in the location entry and hit <Enter>. Especially when using smart bookmarks, or laptops with less than optimal mouse substitute, using nicknames can be much more convenient.
Example:
How do I build an rpm of galeon?
Answer:
Binary builds of galeon are depend on the exact version of mozilla that it was used to build against. If you are using an rpm based distro then you best option is to build the binary rpm yourself.
Download the source code then as root (or your prefered rpmbuild user) run "rpmbuild -tb galeon-<version>.tar.bz2". For this to work you must have the mozilla-devel rpm installed as well as the main rpm.
NOTE: Due to recent changes of which version of gtk was used to build mozilla you might have more luck using galeon-1.3.X rather than galeon-1.2.x
NOTE: If you're trying to build for Red Hat 9 or another gtk-2.2 based system, galeon-1.3.14 is the last compatible version.

How do I change the User Agent (Browser Identification) string that galeon uses?
Note:
Changing the User Agent string is only working around the problem. The real problem is the web site that is artificially blocking your access. You should make a complaint to the web site owner and politely ask them to fix their site.
If you fake your User Agent string there's less pressure for the web site owner to actually fix it.
Answer:
This feature is already implemented. It is not in the UI because there is a mozilla bug (in the java plugin) that makes galeon crash at startup with some strings.
You can set the user agent from the command line using GConf:
To get the current user agent:
gconftool -g /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent
To set the user agent to XXX:
gconftool -s /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent --type=string "XXX"
To restore the default user agent:
gconftool -s /apps/galeon/Advanced/Network/user_agent --type=string default
See the Wikipedia entry for User agent for a short list of example user-agent strings.

Galeon Developer Interview, July 2003
Due to his own curiosity and the apparent curiosity (or vocal ignorance) of folks around the net, Topher The Web Guy asked some of the Galeon developers a few questions. If your curiosity is not satiated, there'll be a form at the bottom to ask your own questions.

How "healthy" is the galeon project?
philipl:
Stable but serious. 
We're operating at a fairly low level right now but we've gained a lot more focus recently and Crispin has been a great help. Having the whole gnome farce behind us is also a relief. ximian deciding to ship galeon as their primary browser is a big boost, especially given redhat has thrown us out (no surprises) and slackware too sniff. We still have problems dealing with the bad image we have of 1.3 as a featureless POS; most people don't realise how far we've come since October 2002. But we're getting there, slowly but steadily. Galeon isn't going away.
yaneti
Pretty healthy all things considered. Not being "the official GNOME browser". Excluded from Red Hat rawhide. Dissed for all the wrong reasons by uninformed people. - Yet people still seem to be interested and most importantly "external" patches seem to have picked up recently, which is just great. Many thanks.
tko
We're progressing nicely, if a bit slowly. We've come a long way after hitting rock-bottom and more people are starting to realize that, so the bad image we got last year should be a thing in the past.
In an interesting twist of events, the Epiphany team has started developing an extension system, and the first extension is mouse gestures - the sort of feature the whole disagreement that eventually lead to Epiphany's birth was all about. After a fashion they're sharing our view on the 'advanced' features after all, and I'm guessing by GNOME 2.6 it'll get where we are now. I only wonder why we couldn't start that last October when I was suggesting it, and skip all the fla^Wfriendly discussions. Oh well...
ric
It is surprisingly healthy if you think that it has not had a stable[1] release in a lot of time and that it no longer considered "the" gnome browser. I think that there is an important niche for galeon as the usable and useful gnome browser.
[1] even if the released versions are only development versions and not officially stable, they are quite stable actually. I use CVS builds always and it does not crash easily. discussions. Oh well...
How much work is left before Galeon 1.3 becomes Galeon 2.0?
philipl:
I've just updated the TODO list.
Mainly, we want to:
- Dump the albatross called bonoboui
- Reorganise the prefs dialog to actually be useful.
- Make the bookmark editor not suck big fat rocks
- get the stylesheet chooser back. that is really missed.
- polish! polish! polish!
Unfortunately this means we do have a big architectural step left which is exorcising bonoboui and switching to the egg library. The other stuff is comparatively straightforward.
yaneti
Thats a kind of managerial question which would be best left to philip. I count whats left by looking at the number of bugs on the 2.0 milestone, which might be entirely bogus because its only me who puts them there
tko
A fair amount. While we have a good set of features and a few more coming, they're not presented well to users. For example, mouse gestures have been implemented since last September, but still people keep asking about them. We need to go through the preferences and decide which ones to show in the dialog, which ones to keep semi-hidden in GConf only, and which ones to remove.
Another large task to do is to update the documentation, although I'm not sure anyone reads it anyway 
I hope we can get someone who's both willing and capable of writing good documentation.
And we need a lot of polish. There are little things all around that are perfectly usable, but with small modifications could be even better.
There are also some technical changes we need to do, most notably getting rid of the pain called bonoboui. While quite nice for static UI, it's painful for dynamic menus and toolbars.
ric
Galeon 2.0 should be released once we have feature (and stability) parity with 1.2.x. I don't miss any of the missing features from 1.2.x now, but there are some users still missing small things.
It's hard to give a time estimation, but I expect a 2.0 release before the end of the summer.
Are more developers starting to come on board?
philipl:
Well, one at least. Crispin Flowerday has been doing a brilliant job; he's highly motivated, like we used to be and brings a fresh mind to old problems. We also have a volunteer for the stylesheet menu, but tko will be in a better position to talk about that.
tko
Yes, Crispin Flowerday has been wonderful in fixing and adding and patching up things we've overlooked or not bothered doing ourselves yet. If he's the sample, we'll take a dozen
Robert Clark is working on the links/related documents toolbar button, and he also showed interest in restoring the stylesheet selector in the menu. Unfortunately I'm slow at reviewing the patches so it takes time.
Besides work, life, and other interests there's only so much time left for Galeon; it would be a big boost if we were actually paid for doing this. One can always dream, right?
ric
Yes, and it's great to see new contributors submitting patches to the list.
Most times, the easiest way to get something done is to submit a patch. Even if it is wrong it does motivate a lot to fix the problem.
What are your top 3 bugs that need fixing?
philipl:
- Stupid fscking inability of the toolbar to respond to pref changes correctly.
- Printing crashes (if they're true, not yet properly confirmed)
- Can't escape out of typeaheadfind (this seems fairly minor but it really gets me because it reflects the suckiness of bonoboui. bonoboui eats the shortcut (escape) and refuse to let anyone see it.
yaneti
Just one I can think of atm: Printing seems to be crashing in some cases, not even sure its a galeon problem but it just comes up a lot - see bug 114869.
We have a pretty big amount of open bug reports many of which UNCONFIRMED and many others just not relevant to the 1.3 codebase anymore. The former are certainly partly my fault, sometimes I just can't catch everything thats coming, or I fail to sort it in the right place. More eyes on these would be highly welcome. The latter perhaps just can be closed someday but I can't really decide when it would be good time to do that.
tko
- inactive tabs steal keyboard focus when done loading
- cookie confirmation dialog occasionally ends up in wrong workspace
- a dialog popping up while performing gestures blocks X
Although, I'm not sure if it's in our power to fix these :-/
ric
I have lots of bugs in my bugzilla folder that should be fixed. I can't think of a top 3... the problem is that I have got used to the bugs so I ignore them when using galeon.
What are the top three features you want added?
philipl:
You'll notice these are 1.2.x features. I haven't had a chance to think beyond getting back to where we started.
- Feature complete Tab menu (restoring move-to menu items)
- depends on ripping out bonoboui. Dynamic menu generation in bonoboui is a horrible messy bloated process that I refuse to touch.
- Stylesheet menu.
- Page info dialog.
yaneti
Can't think of anything major. Many small additions bringing it to the 1.2.x usefulness level would be nice. Most of these are tied to the menu and toolbar code which unfortunately seems to be hard to deal with currently. A port to a better system , perhaps the new egg/gtk code would be very welcome.
tko
Sharing bookmarks, cookies, history, passwords, and preferences with all and any browsers that might be installed on the system; at the moment if I want to try another browser, say epiphany, I have to reconfigure all settings from scratch and import or export bookmarks. You can basically forget about cookies and history. After browsing for a while I'd have to re-import the bookmarks back to Galeon, assuming the other browser didn't completely destroy the bookmarks structure or some metadata (smart bookmarks, for example.) Next day, try Konqueror and do everything all over again.
I'm painfully aware the above is not exclusive to browsers (I've lost count how many times I've needed to configure mail folders somewhere.) As a user I see no real reason why I'd need configure something more than once, unless I'm overriding some specific setting.
It's a huge task and progress is slowly being made in that direction. Unfortunately I, like probably everyone else, find it more satisfying to work on something where I can see the results immediately.
Oh, you meant in this lifetime? Well, let's see...
- icons in notebook tabs
- related documents navigation
- smart bookmarks in the context menu
ric
- Getting rid of libbonoboui. I hate libbonoboui. Using it has caused a lot of harm to galeon. I'm glad that gnome is getting rid of it now using EggToolbar?, but it's a shame that we had to write a lot of code to workaround that horrible api. Unfortunately, I think that we are not going to be able to do this before 2.0.
- Drag and drop and context menus everywhere, like in galeon 1. This is dependent from the previous one.
- Saving backward/forward history in session.
Binaries
- Ubuntu
- Debian
- Fedora Core
- SuSE
- ALT Linux
Due to ever changing mozilla API's, Galeon must be run with exactly the same version of mozilla that it was compiled with.
The above binary packages are provided as is, without warranties of any kind. Some of those packages have been built by third parties and the Galeon developers have no responsibility about their correctness or authenticity.
APT-RPM
If you have apt installed and you want to use Dag or Matt's apt repositories, then you have to do three things;
- import their GPG keys (remember to verify)
- add the repository to your sources lists and possibly configure your apt preferences (see below).
Instructions are given for using Dag's repository in Dag's FAQ whilst Matt's is covered in Matt's instructions for using APT.
If you are using Dag's repository and you want to stick with the Fedora standard software in preference to his own, adding lines like the following to your /etc/apt/preferences file. See the apt-get and apt_preferences manual pages for more details.
Package: *
Pin: origin apt.sw.be
Pin-Priority: 150
This will download and update packages which are only available on his archive whilst leaving standard Fedora packages alone.
Source
CVS
You can checkout galeon sources from the GNOME CVS repository. The following commands will get you started. See Getting the most out of CVS in GNOME for more information about using CVS.
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome login
(there is no password, just hit return)
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome -z3 checkout galeon
(Galeon 1.2 is in the galeon-1-2 branch, you can use checkout -r galeon-1-2 galeon instead if you want.)
ARCH
Galeon is also available through arch. There is lots of useful information on arch in the arch wiki, and the rhythmbox development
pages also have some useful information. The following commands will get you started:
Register the archive with arch (the 2004 is correct, we decided not to cycle the tree this year):
tla register-archive http://arch.flowerday.cx/archives/galeon-2004
Download the latest version
tla get galeon-devel@lists.sourceforge.net--galeon-2004/galeon--mainline--2.0
To update the source tree do:
tla update

Galeon Website editing
Galeon uses a wiki as a web site. This allows everyone to contribute easily to the site, rather than just a select group of people with access to the server.
Below is a quick guide to getting started with wiki:
- Click the Edit link at the bottom of each page
- Add content
You need to create a login for yourself to be able to edit the pages. Just choose a password and you can start editing right away.
To get more out of this wiki, you can additionally
- Familiarize yourself with wiki, by reading (well, glancing through) the TWiki documentation
- Have a play in the wiki sandbox? to see what you can do
If you are unsure about anything, drop by on #galeon on irc.gimp.org, someone is usually around, although coverage during the evening in the US is somewhat limited.
PLAN:
Add recent-files support. At first only update the list with downloaded files and such. Later if useful it could be extended to show the files list in the File menu.
A file should be added/updated in the recent files list in following situations (edit if missing something 
)
- Download file (left-click, dialog,
Save)
- what about
Open? -- the application might not support recent files
-
Download Link (from context menu)
-
Save Page/Image As
-
File/Open
- files opened from command line
- Uploaded files?
-
Print to file -files
( = committed to CVS)
NOTES:
- left-click downloads can update the recent files only in ProgressListener? or in DownloaderView?
- all saves go through ProgressListener?
- includes favicons which must not be added in recent files
- opening files needs to be handled separately from downloads
- simplest implementation looks like passing a flag to GaleonEmbedPersist? to indicate completed downloads should be added in recent files
- connecting to
"completed" -signal is another alternative but would IMHO make the case not so easy to follow
- adding both
"Galeon" and "Web Browser" (our GenericName) groups for the files

Frequently Asked Questions
Tips
PLAN (Done):
Improve the favicon cache.
This has been done using tko's method below.
It has a variety of problems at the moment:
- It gets huge
- Which means it takes ages to read in
- It is not a 'cache'
- It stores images on disk, which don't need to be there.
In theory we only need to store images on disk for favicons that are needed not as a result of a page load. This means that just bookmarks (for the moment, history doesn't use them at the moment) will need them stored on disk.
What I propose is:
- Make the favicon-cache only load images on-demand rather than on startup
- Add an interface to the bookmarks
GaleonFaviconUser that is registered with the favicon cache so it can query whether the bookmark code needs a particular url (and hence favicon).
- Make the favicon cache query
GaleonFaviconUser objects when it is saving to disk, so that it only saves favicons that are actually needed
- It will use the mozilla cache to read favicons, so it is possible that mozilla will cache the most commonly used non-bookmark favicons
When a page is loaded that has a favicon:
- The favicon cache is told (like it is at the moment) the url of the page and favicon
- If the url and favicon are the same as previously stored, then it returns.
- It remembers the url and favicon url, but does not download it yet
- It emits the "changed" signal
When an object wants a favicon
- It asks the favicon cache for the icon for a url
- the favicon cache looks up the url, and sees if it has the icon stored (or a path for it)
- if it does, it reads it off disk if need be
- otherwise it uses the stored url, and starts an embed_persist object to download it
- the caller is told that the image is not there
- the caller must also listen on the "changed" signal of the cache
- when the icon is downloaded the "changed" signal is emitted
- the object then re-looks up the favicon and now it is there
Peridocally, the favicon cache will cull the GdkPixbuf?'s from memory that haven't been used in a while, it will also save images that are used for bookmarks to disk.
To download icons, we should use something like tko's code in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131865 although we need to check to see whether that uses the mozilla cache.
-- CrispinFlowerday - Dec 2004
Sounds little backwards (the GaleonFaviconUser thingie.) Braindumping here.
Two kinds of favicons:
- Persistent.
- used for bookmarks
- backed up by a local copy
- need to maintain
page URL --> favicon URL --> local file mapping (the latter part could be implicit)
- local copy is updated (and old one discarded) whenever the
page URL --> favicon URL mapping, or the favicon itself, changes
- local copy is removed when the (last) bookmark is removed
- Transient.
- used everywhere else, location entry, tab labels, Go menu, ...
- use browser cache for storage
The GaleonFaviconCache API could be something like:
GaleonFavicon *galeon_favicon_cache_get (self, const char *page_url);
void galeon_favicon_cache_set_url (self, const char *page_url, const char *favicon_url);
void galeon_favicon_cache_set_persistent (self, const char *page_url, gboolean is_persistent);
Internally the favicon cache can maintain a "page URL" --> GaleonFavicon mapping, whenever favicon changes all "subscribed" images are updated. We could also keep a favicon URL --> GdkPixbuf mapping in memory to avoid loading the same favicon multiple times. (Slight speed increase, saves some memory.)
Since the GaleonFaviconCache is providing GaleonFavicon rather than GdkPixbuf we can load the pixbuf contents asynchronously whenever. If a pixbuf is already in memory we can use it immediately. Otherwise we'll load the favicon from local file or cache only. We will not try to load anything from the network when the galeon_favicon_cache_get() is called.
Only when (during loading the page) the galeon_favicon_cache_set_url() is called (and there is someone "subscribed" to the page URL) we will attempt loading the favicon from remote server in addition to local copy and browser cache. If the page URL was flagged persistent, the local copy should be updated, otherwise the favicon should be loaded directly into a GdkPixbuf, no need for extra files (need to extend GaleonEmbedPersist a little, I guess.) Once the pixbuf has finished loading we'll just iterate through the "subscribers" for the page URL and update the =GaleonFavicon=s with the new pixbuf.
The page URL --> favicon URL mapping and the favicon contents need to be saved on the disk only for persistent favicons, i.e. bookmarks.

Galeon Development
Bugs and Suggestions
If you think that you have found a bug in Galeon, then please report it, but please ensure that what you're reporting is actually a BUG and not a problem on your end.
If you have a suggestion for a new feature in Galeon, please subscribe to the galeon-devel mailing list, and let us know. If we like the idea, we will ask for it to be reported to Bugzilla as an enhancement, and it might get implemented.
Translations
Galeon can be easily translated into your own language. Translations are handled by the GNOME Translation Project. The best way of contributing a Galeon translation is by joining the team for your language. At least one person in the translation team has access to GNOME CVS and can commit your Galeon translation.
Developing Galeon
Galeon is actively developed, and the main developers hang around #galeon on GIMPnet, which is where the majority of development discussion takes place, although you can also post to the galeon-devel mailing list.
If you just want to help develop Galeon, and don't know where to start, then there are a few easy to fix bugs and a whole lot more bugs and feature requests in Bugzilla. In addition GaleonPlan has a list of other changes that the developers would like to do.
You can follow what is happening in the Galeon tree using the CIA website which has real-time feeds of galeon changes.
Development Documentation
Submitting patches
If you have fixed a bug, enhanced some existing feature, or implemented a new exciting feature, don't hesitate to send us a patch. As the Galeon source is constantly changing we would appreciate it to have the patches against the most recent CVS source tree in unified diff format ("cvs diff -u").
- If the patch fixes a bug, it should be added as an attachment in Bugzilla
- If the patch is a feature enhancement, or adds a new feature, it should be sent to galeon-devel mailing list with a description of the new functionality
In either case, the patch does not need to be complete. If there are some open issues feel free to send the patch to galeon-devel mailing list and we will try to give some feedback as soon as possible.
If you are coding Galeon and need some help, then IRC is the best place to contact the developers, but be patient, we all have day jobs.
22nd Oct 2005 - Galeon Future
Tommi, Crispin and I were all able to attend the GNOME summit last
weekend, even though Crispin had to pay his own way So, it was
a good opportunity for us to sit down and discuss the future of Galeon.
All of us are very much working fulltime which limits the extent to
which we can hack on Galeon and the amount of activity you've observed
speaks for itself.
As such, we've reached the conclusion that we have to change our
approach if we're going to avoid Galeon getting stale or bit-rotting;
which is important for all of us, as we all use Galeon because we
still think it's the best thing out there
So, what does changing our approach mean? It means considering Epiphany
in a new light; Galeon still does a lot of things, small and large, that
Epiphany either doesn't do or doesn't do as well, but at the same time,
there are some areas where they've moved in front, and most importantly
Epiphany has a bunch of active maintainers who are handling the things
that we struggle to do for Galeon. But you say: Epiphany doesn't fit
my needs or I'd be using it already! True, so our proposal is to bring
Galeon to Epiphany.
Epiphany has a powerful extensions mechanism that exposes many of the
core structures of the program and there is a general willingness to
expose more as necessary. This means that many galeon features can be
recast as extensions, and Crispin has already done this for a couple
of things: the sidebar is now in epiphany-extensions and he's got a
few more hidden away such as in-browser view-source. Also don't forget
that some other features have been independently ported as extensions
already, such as the javascript console.
There are a few galeon features which are hard to implement as
extensions and/or are of a class that makes them desirable within the
base Epiphany package, and these should be directly ported. I've already
made a couple of checkins to port back/forward history copying and
middle-clicking on history entries.
Between these two approaches and the more pragmatic direction that
epiphany is moving in these days (heirarchical bookmark support has
just been checked in!), I believe that we can reach a point where
Epiphany + a set of extensions will provide the same functionality that
Galeon does today.
This seems an optimal solution for everyone; it allows us, the galeon
developers, to avoid duplicating work with epiphany team, it will allow
users to leverage the best from both browsers and most importantly, it
puts galeon on a much firmer footing for the future that is not so much
at the mercy of our ability to find time to hack on it.
I hope that this sounds like a good long term strategy to everyone, but
if you do find yourself recoiling from it, do realise that the current
approach is unsustainable and will almost certainly result in galeon
becoming unmaintained or falling too far behind in some areas, meaning
that you'll be struggling to keep using it anyway.
This process will probably take some time given our other commitments,
so we intend to make a formal 2.0 galeon release (long overdue really)
and keep that compiling against newer releases of mozilla, but our
efforts will be directed towards this extension project.
Of course, anybody who wants to help out, either with the extensions
or with maintaining the current galeon codebase, is more than welcome!
I've added a wiki page at: http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/GaleonIssues
which lists current stuff I can think of. I encourage anyone to add
anything that I've missed, but if you want to list a Galeon 1.2 feature
please categorise it separately

Galeon, A History
or, why Galeon is the way it is
Chris "Topher" DeRosia - 29 July 2003
This document is intended to provide a brief history of Galeon; where it's been, and how it got to its current status. Galeon's relation to Epiphany will be briefly described.
Once upon a time, Marco Pesenti Gritti decided to make a web browser. He liked the Mozilla project, but wanted something that integrated well with his system and that was fast enough to be usable. Marco wanted a good, solid, simple browser for The Average User, in the Gnome environment, and so around June of 2000, Galeon 0.6 was released.
Galeon was a very popular project, with heavy development. Many features were added, making it a powerful, versatile browser, used by techies and non-techies alike. Releases came as often as Mozilla releases, since the API usually changed slightly with each Mozilla release. And with each release came a few new features. And with each feature came a preference dialog for that feature. Some people considered this to be a good thing, since features provide flexibility, and control. Others felt this to be a bad thing, thinking that too many preference options caused confusion.
In November of 2001, the decision was made to release Galeon 1.0 before Mozilla 1.0 was released. This was based on the belief that while Mozilla was not 1.0 yet, the code and feature set in Galeon was 1.0 quality.
Galeon2
After a series of 1.1.x releases, 1.2 was released on 12 Mar 2002. 1.2 had an enormous number of new features, which pleased the gadgety crowd, but was far from Marco's vision of a simple browser for Everyman.
In March of 2002, GTK 2.0 came out, and many programs began porting to it. The Galeon developers looked at the project and decided that for a number of reasons, a complete re-write was in order. There was pretty much universal agreement on that decision, and on 26 Oct 2002, Galeon 1.3 (sometimes called galeon2) was released. This is one of the reasons that people often say that 1.3 is a "stripped" 1.2, since 1.3 has so many fewer features. While there were feature issues in 1.3, the fact is that 1.3 had NO features when it started, and features are still being built into it.
Marco felt that this was a good time try moving back to the simpler browser he had wanted from the beginning. Rather than simply porting every feature and preference from Galeon 1, he moved slowly, planning feature additions, and weighing the worth of each feature and preference. Far more features were ported than are readily apparent, mostly due to the fact that the GUI preferences interface was much more difficult to plan and construct.
As lead developer, Marco felt justified in modifying the code to create the browser he wanted. This didn't sit well with some of the developers, and a great deal of heated discussion occurred on the galeon-devel list. As Galeon 1.3 releases came out, the discussions got more heated, as people became less and less satisfied with Marco's decisions. In April of 2002, Havoc Pennington wrote a document called "Free software and good user interfaces". The Gnome project had been struggling with uniform human interface guidelines, and after much discussion, Havoc came up with his essay.
The essay got mixed reviews, with some people thinking that it was a GREAT idea to make things uniform and simple; others thought it was a terrible idea to make things so simple because it felt restrictive. The Gnome Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) were made soon after.
A Tale Of Two Opinions
Marco's decisions regarding the interface to Galeon were not universally well received. Some thought it was an excellent idea to move toward a more HIG compliant browser, but since moving in this direction involved reducing the number of available settings in the preferences, and changing the main interface that people had become accustomed to, some thought it would be the downfall of a great browser.
The issues essentially boiled down to two opinions; should Galeon be a simple browser, or should it be a power user's browser?
In November of 2002, after many months of long hard discussion, Marco made the very difficult choice to leave the Galeon development team, and created Epiphany. No longer part of the Galeon team, Marco was free to create what he wanted; a simple, HIG compliant browser. This also freed the Galeon team to mold Galeon into what they wanted; a powerful, flexible browser for people who want to be able to customize to their hearts content.
The Future
So what's next? For the users, they get choice, the glory of the Open Source world. If they want a relatively simple, HIG compliant browser, Epiphany is the way to go. If they want a power user's browser, with features galore, Galeon is the way to go.
"But what about all the features?!?" people ask. "I loved Galeon 1.2, why is Galeon 1.3 such a featureless POS?". Well, it's not a featureless POS. It's a piece of software under development. Devel was a little slow after the split, mostly due to Real Life constrains.
For the Galeon developers, the addition of functionality is a high priority. Galeon itself has much more functionality than the preferences interface would indicate. Gestures, key bindings, and smart bookmarks have all worked for some time, though access was limited to gconf-editor. They simply need to have a preference GUI added.
Some things from the TODO in the Galeon tarball are:
- Reorganise prefs dialog. (tko)
- Stylesheet chooser menu. (We had a volunteer?)
- eggtoolbar (? please ric )
- eggmenubar (philipl)
- Feature complete tab menu (depends on eggmenubar)
- tab notebook niceties from epiphany (crispin)
- Bookmark management that doesn't suck (tko)
- Galeon 1 style bookmark editor with edit controls in main dialog
- use xbel properly
- Cookie management that doesn't suck (probably philipl)
- Galeon 1 style cookie editor with edit controls in main dialog (spot the pattern? )
- Page info dialog (think mozilla)
- Clicking security icon should pop up security page in info dialog
- Native cerificate dialogs
- Sucks to implement due to strange code factoring in psm
- Do not set location entry if the user is changing it ! [done]
- Speedup window creation [some stuff done]
- Fix exernal downloader + open in new terminal [done?]
- Test and fix external protocols handling (I got some crashes) [done?]
- Extensive use of favicons (history, tabs, bookmarks ...) [not there yet]
- Need a way to get back from fullscreen if you dont know the key [done]
- Edit->Cut/Copy/Paste need to work also for gtk entries [done?]
- Fix mime handling dialog to not require to ever go through the apps choice dialog. (My dialog1 proposal on galeon-devel) [done]
- Tabs context menus [not done - tab menu should also be tab context menu. see above]
- History context menus [done?]
- Complete charsets function implementation in mozilla-embed-shell.c, see the FIXME [done?]
- Reimplement (and maybe redesign) cookie passwords ... filtering [done]
- Find a way to automagically compute colors for tabs status, that are visible on all themes or get back the color prefs [not done]
As you can see, Galeon has some fairly ambitious goals, as well as having quite a few things done. If you'd like to help, there are numerous things that can be done. Coding, bug reporting, documentation writing, and lucid, positive input are all welcome.
Appendix
tko pointed out that everyone should read README.ExtraPrefs, stored in your docs directory. Additionally, documentation is where the team needs the most help at the moment, evidenced by the fact that you have to hunt down README.ExtraPrefs to find that stuff out. Please contact Christophe Fergeau about writing docs.

Galeon News
16th September 2006 - Galeon 2.0.2
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.
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 16/09/06
- 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 somwhere that the galeon build can find it.
22nd Oct 2005 - Galeon Future
Tommi, Crispin and I were all able to attend the GNOME summit last
weekend, even though Crispin had to pay his own way So, it was
a good opportunity for us to sit down and discuss the future of Galeon.
All of us are very much working fulltime which limits the extent to
which we can hack on Galeon and the amount of activity you've observed
speaks for itself.
As such, we've reached the conclusion that we have to change our
approach if we're going to avoid Galeon getting stale or bit-rotting;
which is important for all of us, as we all use Galeon because we
still think it's the best thing out there
So, what does changing our approach mean? It means considering Epiphany
in a new light; Galeon still does a lot of things, small and large, that
Epiphany either doesn't do or doesn't do as well, but at the same time,
there are some areas where they've moved in front, and most importantly
Epiphany has a bunch of active maintainers who are handling the things
that we struggle to do for Galeon. But you say: Epiphany doesn't fit
my needs or I'd be using it already! True, so our proposal is to bring
Galeon to Epiphany.
Epiphany has a powerful extensions mechanism that exposes many of the
core structures of the program and there is a general willingness to
expose more as necessary. This means that many galeon features can be
recast as extensions, and Crispin has already done this for a couple
of things: the sidebar is now in epiphany-extensions and he's got a
few more hidden away such as in-browser view-source. Also don't forget
that some other features have been independently ported as extensions
already, such as the javascript console.
There are a few galeon features which are hard to implement as
extensions and/or are of a class that makes them desirable within the
base Epiphany package, and these should be directly ported. I've already
made a couple of checkins to port back/forward history copying and
middle-clicking on history entries.
Between these two approaches and the more pragmatic direction that
epiphany is moving in these days (heirarchical bookmark support has
just been checked in!), I believe that we can reach a point where
Epiphany + a set of extensions will provide the same functionality that
Galeon does today.
This seems an optimal solution for everyone; it allows us, the galeon
developers, to avoid duplicating work with epiphany team, it will allow
users to leverage the best from both browsers and most importantly, it
puts galeon on a much firmer footing for the future that is not so much
at the mercy of our ability to find time to hack on it.
I hope that this sounds like a good long term strategy to everyone, but
if you do find yourself recoiling from it, do realise that the current
approach is unsustainable and will almost certainly result in galeon
becoming unmaintained or falling too far behind in some areas, meaning
that you'll be struggling to keep using it anyway.
This process will probably take some time given our other commitments,
so we intend to make a formal 2.0 galeon release (long overdue really)
and keep that compiling against newer releases of mozilla, but our
efforts will be directed towards this extension project.
Of course, anybody who wants to help out, either with the extensions
or with maintaining the current galeon codebase, is more than welcome!
I've added a wiki page at: http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/GaleonIssues
which lists current stuff I can think of. I encourage anyone to add
anything that I've missed, but if you want to list a Galeon 1.2 feature
please categorise it separately
--phil
26th February 2006 - Galeon 2.0.1
I'm pleased to announce that galeon 2.0.1 has been released.
The big point of this release is compatibility with xulrunner,
which I'm sure debian users will appreciate Also, we've now
got firefox/xulrunner compatible typeaheadfind support.
2.0.1 "Look what we found."
- Works with Mozilla 1.7.5+, Seamonkey 1.0+, Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5+, and xulrunner 1.8+.
- Find toolbar ported from Epiphany. TypeAheadFind now works properly with firefox.
- Bug fixes
27th November 2005 - Galeon 2.0
Yes, the day is finally upon us. As I promised when I announced
our future development plans, here's the actual Galeon 2.0 release.
Its' been about 3 years and 8 months since work began on the 1.3.x
development series and it's been unofficially stable for about half
that time - so this acknowledgement of that fact is well past due.
As such, we have another modest changelog:
2.0.0 "One for the road."
- Works with mozilla 1.7.5+, 1.8a3 and up; Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5
- Embedded http error message pages. (If mozilla support them)
- Security Device Manager button in security prefs.
- Delete key works in Personal Data Manager.
- Support for multimedia keyboard keys like Back and Forward.
- Other bug fixes.
The big item is really compatibility with firefox 1.5 (assuming
they don't do anything silly in the next couple of days...).
I'll repeat my assurance that this doesn't mean we're just stopping
galeon development cold; it's going to be quite a while before enough
work has been completed to make epiphany my primary browser so, if
nothing else, expect to see periodic releases that keep it compiling
against newer mozilla releases. You might even see a bug fix or two.
08, Aug 2004 - New Galeon Web site
We are pleased to launch a new website for Galeon, in the past, our website hasn't always been the most up to date site ever. By using a wiki, we hope that users will feel able to contribute to the web site, and add content (FAQ entries, tips, documentation).
To get started editing the site, check out the editing web site page.
Any questions, then contact us and we will help.
21st May 2005 - Galeon 1.3.21 "It's the thought that counts"
This release is primarily to get some nice bug fixes out to everyone; I've highlighted these below. It's also one of the very few times where we didn't need to make any changes to account for new mozilla releases (of course, there are lots of changes to keep up with mozilla cvs).
Changelog:
- Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.8, 1.8a3 -> 1.8b2 and trunk
- Couple more focus fixes to less common cases
- Fix regression since 1.3.19 that prevented helpers from working with file:/// urls.
- Fix toolbar editor to work when the composite extension is enabled
- Other bug fixes
12th March 2005 - Galeon 1.3.20 "In Soviet Russia focus steals you!"
Gnome 2.10 is out and it's time for another release. The biggest item for this release, as you might guess, is that we think we've finally got a complete workaround for the infamous focus stealing problem that mozilla has. Now you won't find background tabs stealing focus from the url entry or from text entries in the current tab. Otherwise, mostly bug fixes but a couple of nice improvements to work with the enhanced startup notification in gnome 2.10. Finally, if your distro is using the patched firefox, then galeon will be able to do typeaheadfind when built against it.
Changelog:
- Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.5, 1.8a3 -> 1.8b1 and trunk
- Using FireFox patched according to the instructions on http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fMozillaPatches, type ahead find will work.
- Further improvements to the attempt to stop the focus being stolen from web pages.
- Works with Gnome 2.10:
- Use startup notification when launching programs
- Don't steal focus from other applications when launching new windows
- Show application icons in the "Open With" menu
- Don't show security dialogs twice
- Use our own version of the security dialogs to look nicer, and allow better translation
- Much improved favicon cache - only store favicons on disk for bookmarks
- When saving files, check the user has permission.
- Lots of other bug fixes
15th Jan 2005 - Galeon 1.3.19 "Is this what you have been waiting for?"
So, it's been rather longer than we might have hoped since the last release, but what better way to bring in the new year than a new release? Most of the changes are small touches which should make for a better overall experience. We've also finally got a fully functional myportal for the first time in the 1.3.x series For those on the bleeding edge, you can now compile and run Galeon against Firefox or Thunderbird, but it's not a completely perfect experience yet; with Firefox, type-ahead-find doesn't work and to get a decent browsing experience out of Thunderbird you'll need to do a custom build that adds in a bunch of extensions they leave out by default, particularly 'wallet', 'cookie' and 'typeaheadfind'.
Changelog:
- Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.5, 1.8a3 -> 1.8a6 and trunk
(Note that there's a bug in 1.8a6 that prevents it working with galeon if mozilla is compiled by FC3's gcc or gcc cvs. This is fixed in trunk.)
- Try and stop the page from stealing focus from the location bar
- Jump to tabs that open javascript dialogs, secunia advisory SA12712
- Make the location bar turn yellow for secure sites
- Myportal overhaul, including clickable folder headers, and working file urls
- Fix cookie preferences
- Improved Javascript console
- Allow compilation against FireFox libs (no type-ahead-find though)
- Allow compilation against Thunderbird libs (requires custom thunderbird build with extra components)
- Launch urls opened from the command line in a new tab if a galeon window is on the current workspace
- Encode smart bookmarks better, so they work when the substituion is in the path portion of the url
- Use the iso-codes package if it is available for language names
- Lots of other bug fixes
23 Oct, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.18 "Where's my name?"
Well, it seems we've managed to break our once-a-month release cycle quite comprehensively this time round, but here's the latest release! It's admittedly been a bit of a quiet period, but we do see the return of autobookmarks in a new and improved form (you can configure the selection algorithm) and some handy bug fixes.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.7 through 1.8a4 and trunk
- Add auto bookmarks (most viewed pages from the history)
- Add preference to stop web pages from blocking and altering context menus
- Various dock fixes
- lots and lots of other bug fixes
08 Aug, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.17 "The one that can (x)print"
Yes, that's right, another month, another release. This one's got quite a few goodies in it along with the usual flood of bug fixes. We've got UI support for Xprint if your mozilla supports it and Ricardo's celebrated his return by implementing vfolders for bookmarks. As in evolution, these allow you to create views of your existing bookmark hierarchy based on various criteria.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.8a2 and trunk
- Support printing with Xprint
- Get rid of the startup script; you need to update your scripts if you have been using galeon-bin directly
- Add saved files in recent-files list for easy access
- Add support for vfolders of bookmarks.
- Restore the 'Reload Frame' context menu item
- Add progress dialog when printing.
- Don't copy the history of the old tab, when creating an unrelated new tab
- Support the new GNOME 2.8 mime type system
- lots of other bug fixes
02, Aug 2001 - Galeon 0.11.1 Released
- downloader / launcher now fully functional
- mime type system remebers helper apps and can launch in terminal
- toolbar styling; horizontal/vertical/icon/text and normal/large/nautilus
- cut/copy/paste menu items (and shortcuts) work within browser
- option to always save session on quit (very handy!)
- generic handling of link opening, so shift and ctrl modifiers work everywhere (even in location entry and smart bookmarks -- try ctrl-return!)
- context menu on bookmarks (in menus and bookmarks editor)
- lot of prefs re-arranged for clarity and simplicity
- menu rearrangements, including some shortcut changes
- better popup blocking

26, Sep 2002 - Galeon2 Update
Marco has written up a synopsis of where galeon2 development stands and how you can help.
15, Oct 2002 - Galeon 1.2.6 "Hey, everyone else has wierd release names,
so why don't we?" Released!
- Compatible with 1.0.x, 1.1.x and 1.2a
- Compatible with gcc 3.2 with --disable-werror
- Complete Basic Sidebar support (No XUL sidebars)
- Proxy prefs should actually be respected for a change
- Support for forcing all cookies to be session cookies
- Fixed almost all downloader progress dialog related crashes.
- Helper app handling improved, and a number of bugs fixed
Yes! That's right! The first official galeon release with support for all three branches of the mozilla tree! However, this is only source level compatibility, you will need to recompile galeon for the particular mozilla version you are using, but it will compile.
26, Nov 2002 - Galeon 1.3.0 Released
This is the first unstable release based on gnome 2 libraries and gtk2 mozilla.
It's a development version. This means that it will crash, it won't work as expected and it may damage random files of your system. However, we encourage you to test it and report any bug you find, and send us patches if you feel that you can help.
We suggest to backup your .galeon directory before running it. Mozilla gtk2 port is still incomplete. So a patch need to be applied. Instructions are in the INSTALL file inside the package.
Galeon 1.3 has been a nearly complete rewrite. Many features has been retained, some have been dropped, some will be put back in the future, a few have been added. List all the changes would be too long, so just try it out
28, Dec 2002 - Galeon 1.2.7 Released
- Compatible with 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.2
- Sidebar link opening behaviour now matches Mozilla
- TypeAheadFind support
- bugfixes
This is a minor bugfix release of the stable branch that fixes a few bugs and adds support for Mozilla 1.2
08, 2002 - Galeon 1.3.1 (unstable) Released!
- Works with Mozilla 1.2.x and trunk. 1.2 requires a patch included with the galeon source tarball.
- Added compatability symbols so that gcc2 compiled plugins (esp. flash) will work if you compile with gcc3.x.
- proxy preferences moved to gnome control centre (you need control centre version 2.1.2 or later to be able to configure proxies for ftp and https). We have migration code that will move proxy prefs over.
- right mouse button gestures are actually usable.
- FTP browsing works again
- 'New' toolbar button restored
- tab detaching and dragging between windows
- saving and restoring GNOME session works again
- Ability to choose helper app restored

- bugfixes
The 1.3.x branch is a development branch and not designed to replace 1.2.x for the typical user who wants a browser that works.
Having said that, we're grateful for all the brave souls who try it out; we need your feedback to make galeon as good as possible!
19, 2002 - Galeon 1.3.1 tarball updated (whoops)
The original galeon 1.3.1 tarball accidentally didn't include the nautilus-view files, so we've uploaded an updated tarball. Sorry for the confusion.
16, Mar 2003 - Galeon 1.2.8 and 1.3.2 released!
Tada! After a couple of months of quiet, we are happy to announce the release of new version of galeon from both the stable and gnome2 branches.
They are:
Galeon 1.2.8 "Gettextize me captain!"
and
Galeon 1.3.2 "Stop calling us dead, or we'll haunt you"
They both support Mozilla 1.3b, the latest release (and Galeon 1.3.x requires at least Mozilla 1.3a) and feature bug fixes and 1.3.x also has some nice new features.
In the interest of brevity, the release notes can be found with the files in our sourceforge area; just click on the stable and development links in the top right of the website.
We currently have source tarballs up with rpms on the way.
Enjoy!
09, Apr 2003 - Galeon 1.3.3 released
This is the release many of you have been waiting for, it reintroduces the much wanted javascript etc. quick toggles. You're slowly running out of excuses if that has been your reason to stay with the stable 1.2.x releases
Even though the 1.3.x branch is a development branch, in practice it is considered stable for every day use.

- Works with Mozilla 1.3a, 1.3b, 1.3 and trunk
- The shortcuts for popups/java/javascript are back!
- Bookmarks can be added in the context menu

17, Apr 2003 - Galeon 1.2.9 Released
This is a compatibility release that adds support for Mozilla 1.3 final. There is also a small fix to the gcc abi wrapper so that realplayer and other old plugins work properly even when galeon and mozilla are compiled with gcc 3.x
19, May 2003 - Galeon 1.2.10 and 1.3.4 Released
Galeon 1.2.10 "Zombie process"
Galeon 1.3.4 "Not bad for a dead guy"

Galeon 1.2.11 "Tommi wishes it would go away"
Galeon 1.3.5 "It's not dead, it's resting"

22, Jul 2003 - Email Archives Link Repaired
It obviously hasn't been a big deal, since no-one's noticed since 2001, but the link on the support page to the galeon-user archives is repaired.
19, Aug 2003 - New 1.3.5 rpm
A new rpm for 1.3.5 compiled for redhat9 compiled against blizzard's mozilla 1.4 rpm's is available in the download area.
20, Aug 2003 - Galeon 1.3.6 Released
Galeon 1.3.6 "3,735,928,559"
Shiny new galeon release, largely provoked by the release of mozilla 1.4 final, although strangely enough, 1.3.5 is source compatible with 1.4; the first time that's ever happened since before mozilla 1.0.
As such, you won't see anything spectacularly big in this release; we've had a lot of bugs fixed with very much appreciated help from Chris Lahey at Ximian and Crispin Flowerday, and there are some subtle improvements.
- Works with Mozilla 1.3.x, 1.4, 1.5a, and trunk
- Translation sanity. If you have the appropriate langpack for your locale for mozilla installed, galeon will switch to it on start up.
- Try and switch to classic theme on start up to get native scrollbars
- Ctrl-Enter in location entry and auto-complete dropdown opens in new tab/window
- Ctrl-Enter and middle-click opens smartbookmark in new tab
- Toolbar button to toggle fullscreen mode
- Clear History actually works now

- Some other bugfixes
- Misc optimisations

04, Sep 2003 - Galeon, A History
We've gotten many questions about why Galeon is the way it is, and here is the answer.
10, Oct 2003 - Galeon 1.3.8 Released!
After far too long, as seems rather common these days, we have a new galeon release for you. 1.3.8 has some nice new features and a revamped bookmark editor as well as a lot of bugfixes.
It's also significant because we're formally announcing that 1.2.x support will be limited to ensuring it still compiles with newer mozilla releases. This has been de facto for a while now, but we're now confident that 1.3.x is a good product for the average user despite its nominal 'unstable' status.
And here's the summarised changes:
Galeon 1.3.8 "What Documentation?"
- Works with Mozilla 1.3.x, 1.4, 1.5a, 1.5b, and trunk
- Rewritten preferences dialog with more options to play with
- Radically overhauled bookmarks editor
- Alternate stylesheet menu
- Show favicons in notebook tabs
- Drag and drop improvements
- Lots and lots of bugfixes
16, Oct 2003 - Galeon 1.3.9 released!
Ok, we screwed up with the last release and gave you a nasty bug which broke basically all form postings and stylesheets. But don't worry, you can keep the pieces. We'll even offer you this new release, for free! So here goes...
Galeon 1.3.9 "Space for rent"
- Works with Mozilla 1.4, 1.5a, 1.5b, and trunk
- Fixes form posting/stylesheet problems that slipped in 1.3.8
- Remove buggy man, info, toc -protocols, yelp does much better job
- Bugfixes
If even after upgrading you're still experiencing form posting/stylesheet problems, set the default encoding in Preferences/Language (ISO-8859-1 is a good choice unless you know better) and force reload, clear cache, and/or restart Galeon. (Mozilla is quite eager serving cached pages.) This fix works also for 1.3.8.
26, Nov 2003 - Galeon 1.3.10 Released
Over a month has passed since 1.3.9, and since then Mozilla 1.5 has arrived, so its time for a new release:
1.3.10 "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
- Works with Mozilla 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 1.6a and trunk
- Add Gtk dialogs for most of the mozilla PSM prompts
- Better errors if startup fails
- Importing of Epiphany bookmarks
- Use correct gnome icons in unknown mime type dialog
- Tabs can be dragged to another window when the tab bar isn't visible
- Lots and lots of bugfixes
18, 2003 - Galeon 1.3.11 "XXX: FIXME"
We are pleased to announce a brand new release of Galeon. This releasecontains quite a lot of bug fixes, and, all being well, will be the lastbonoboui based release of Galeon. The future is libegg, and Gtk 2.4.
- Works with Mozilla 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 1.6b and trunk
- Add yet more Gtk versions of Mozilla PSM dialogs
- Use points rather than pixels for font sizes
- Improve tab insertion logic to add tabs to the end of the list
when creating tabs unrelated to the current page.
- Implement per-host zoom saving
- Fix lots of little printing bugs
- Try and automatically fix broken charset preferences
- By popular demand, make Escape close the Find dialog
- Lots of bug fixes
19, 2003 - Galeon 1.3.11a "XXX: FIXED"
And hot on the heals of 1.3.11, we have another release Thanks go to Tim Jackson who very quickly spotted that the font preferences dialogwere not set to their initial state when loading the dialog.
- Ensure that the font preferences are read from gconf correctly (spotted by Tim Jackson)
22, Feb 2004 - Galeon 1.3.12 "The One With Documentation"
Here it is! After much parallel development we can finally announce the first egg based release of galeon. So, lots of changes and improvements in this one!
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.6 and trunk
- Switch to GNOME icon themes for spinners. See FAQ for using your old spinners
- Switched over to libegg from libbonoboui. Finally

- Toolbar customisation using egg toolbar editor
- Drag urls to bookmark toolbar to add them
- Other nicer touches

Mostly just javascript calls
- Encoding menu from epiphany
- Tab Menu once agin lists tabs contained in window
- "Move Tab To Another Window" menu restored. Not forced to drag-and-drop tabs now.
- Warn if a tab is closed with a partially filled in form on it.
- *Lots* of misc bug fixes and tweaks.
- Cleaned up stale preferences and updated ExtraPrefs?
- Updated Documentation. Yay!
16, Mar 2004 - Galeon 1.3.13 "Lets try that again"
The Galeon developers are pleased to announce a new release. This release fixes a lot of bugs and regressions from the bonoboui->libegg port.
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.6 and trunk
- Stop the URL from disappearing from the location bar when loading pages in new tabs
- Add filtering and in-line cookie detail viewing to the Personal Data Manager.
- Preserve any accelerator changes
- Ensure type-ahead-find and emacs key modes work correctly
- Fix pasting of IDN domain names
- Many libegg port fixes:
- Hook up Ctrl+KP_Plus and Ctrl+KP_subtract to zooming action
- Implement a toolbar style override key, see ExtraPrefs?
- Ensure 'View Source' from a sidebar works
- Add Print and "Save As" toolbar items
- Menu changes:
- Use libegg for most dynamic menus

- Put Tab actions in the tab context menu
- Make history low-disk safe, and more robust when loading corrupted
history files.
- lots of other bug fixes.
17, Mar 2004 - 1.3.13a
I suppose you can say we were asking for it with a release name like that...
I used the shiny new automake 1.8.2 when building the tarballs and that was obviously a mistake. It fails to include a helper script needed to make installation succeed. I've readded this file and pushed out 1.3.13a tarballs. The in-program version is still reported as 1.3.13 as if you've got galeon installed, you don't have a problem
Please get the new tarball and sorry for the mess.
31 May, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.15 "Lots of changes under the hood"
As promised, here's the first gtk+ 2.4 based release. We also made a bunch of other updates - the most significant of which is a serious overhaul of the downloading subsystem - most significantly meaning it doesn't crash all the time In the feature restoration department, we see the return of the off-line mode and user stylesheets.
We're well on track towards a 1.4.0 release with most of the feature items we were shooting for implemented. Can't promise when it's going to happen, but we're closer than we were.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.7rc2 and trunk
- Requires gtk+ 2.4
- Major download re-write:
- Much improved robustness; lots of crashes fixed
- Improved filename generation when saving pages
- Pages generated by a POST correctly saved
- Restored offline mode
- Restored ability to block cookie sites when removing cookies
- Improved layout of personal data manager
- Added context menu to links in page info dialog
- Added image save button to page info dialog
- Always show the menubar when F10 is pressed
- Use more stock icons from the current icon theme
- Implement user stylesheet support (put them in ~/.galeon/stylesheets)
21 Mar, 2004 - 1.3.14a sigh
Yeah, same problem as last time. Stupid automake 1.8.x
17 Jun, 2004 - 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!
Changelog:
- 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.
20 Mar, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.14 "Almost A One Man Army"
Yes, it's that time of year again. Development has been quieter than we would have liked, with Crispin pretty much being single handedly responsible for the work in this release. I hope that things will pick up a little in the coming weeks, but we'll see.
This will be the last gtk+ 2.2 based release; the next one will require 2.4. There won't be too much user-visible changes as we've taken advantage of must of the new stuff through libegg already.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.7b and trunk
- A lot of bug fixes from Crispin (and a couple from Phil)
- Support context menu key with 1.7b or newer
- Last gtk 2.2 based release. Next will require 2.4
03 Jul, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.16 "What do you mean, 'late'?"
Yes, it's roughly that time of the month again, and here's our first official release that's compatible with Mozilla 1.7. There's a lot of small fixes and refinements - particularly the fixing of the annoying crash when deleting cookies.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.7, 1.8a1 and trunk
- Add thumbnailing to the Open dialogs
- Improved context menus
- Ensure URL's for frames and redirects don't get saved in the history
- Fix the spinner background with gradient themes
- Fix a crash when removing items in the personal data manager
- Fix reloading of framesets
- Make better use of gtk 2.4 API's
- lots of other bug fixes

- lots of other bug fixes
08 Aug, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.17 "The one that can (x)print"
Yes, that's right, another month, another release. This one's got quite a few goodies in it along with the usual flood of bug fixes. We've got UI support for Xprint if your mozilla supports it and Ricardo's celebrated his return by implementing vfolders for bookmarks. As in evolution, these allow you to create views of your existing bookmark hierarchy based on various criteria.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.8a2 and trunk
- Support printing with Xprint
- Get rid of the startup script; you need to update your scripts if you have been using galeon-bin directly
- Add saved files in recent-files list for easy access
- Add support for vfolders of bookmarks.
- Restore the 'Reload Frame' context menu item
- Add progress dialog when printing.
- Don't copy the history of the old tab, when creating an unrelated new tab
- Support the new GNOME 2.8 mime type system
- lots of other bug fixes
23 Oct, 2004 - Galeon 1.3.18 "Where's my name?"
Well, it seems we've managed to break our once-a-month release cycle quite comprehensively this time round, but here's the latest release! It's admittedly been a bit of a quiet period, but we do see the return of autobookmarks in a new and improved form (you can configure the selection algorithm) and some handy bug fixes.
Changelog:
- Works with Mozilla 1.7 through 1.8a4 and trunk
- Add auto bookmarks (most viewed pages from the history)
- Add preference to stop web pages from blocking and altering context menus
- Various dock fixes
- lots and lots of other bug fixes
15th Jan 2005 - Galeon 1.3.19 "Is this what you have been waiting for?"
So, it's been rather longer than we might have hoped since the last release, but what better way to bring in the new year than a new release? Most of the changes are small touches which should make for a better overall experience. We've also finally got a fully functional myportal for the first time in the 1.3.x series For those on the bleeding edge, you can now compile and run Galeon against Firefox or Thunderbird, but it's not a completely perfect experience yet; with Firefox, type-ahead-find doesn't work and to get a decent browsing experience out of Thunderbird you'll need to do a custom build that adds in a bunch of extensions they leave out by default, particularly 'wallet', 'cookie' and 'typeaheadfind'.
Changelog:
- Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.5, 1.8a3 -> 1.8a6 and trunk
(Note that there's a bug in 1.8a6 that prevents it working with galeon if mozilla is compiled by FC3's gcc or gcc cvs. This is fixed in trunk.)
- Try and stop the page from stealing focus from the location bar
- Jump to tabs that open javascript dialogs, secunia advisory SA12712
- Make the location bar turn yellow for secure sites
- Myportal overhaul, including clickable folder headers, and working file urls
- Fix cookie preferences
- Improved Javascript console
- Allow compilation against FireFox libs (no type-ahead-find though)
- Allow compilation against Thunderbird libs (requires custom thunderbird build with extra components)
- Launch urls opened from the command line in a new tab if a galeon window is on the current workspace
- Encode smart bookmarks better, so they work when the substituion is in the path portion of the url
- Use the iso-codes package if it is available for language names
- Lots of other bug fixes
12th March 2005 - Galeon 1.3.20 "In Soviet Russia focus steals you!"
Gnome 2.10 is out and it's time for another release. The biggest item for this release, as you might guess, is that we think we've finally got a complete workaround for the infamous focus stealing problem that mozilla has. Now you won't find background tabs stealing focus from the url entry or from text entries in the current tab. Otherwise, mostly bug fixes but a couple of nice improvements to work with the enhanced startup notification in gnome 2.10. Finally, if your distro is using the patched firefox, then galeon will be able to do typeaheadfind when built against it.
Changelog:
- Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.5, 1.8a3 -> 1.8b1 and trunk
- Using FireFox patched according to the instructions on http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fMozillaPatches, type ahead find will work.
- Further improvements to the attempt to stop the focus being stolen from web pages.
- Works with Gnome 2.10:
- Use startup notification when launching programs
- Don't steal focus from other applications when launching new windows
- Show application icons in the "Open With" menu
- Don't show security dialogs twice
- Use our own version of the security dialogs to look nicer, and allow better translation
- Much improved favicon cache - only store favicons on disk for bookmarks
- When saving files, check the user has permission.
- Lots of other bug fixes
21st May 2005 - Galeon 1.3.21 "It's the thought that counts"
This release is primarily to get some nice bug fixes out to everyone; I've highlighted these below. It's also one of the very few times where we didn't need to make any changes to account for new mozilla releases (of course, there are lots of changes to keep up with mozilla cvs).
Changelog:
- Works with mozilla 1.7 -> 1.7.8, 1.8a3 -> 1.8b2 and trunk
- Couple more focus fixes to less common cases
- Fix regression since 1.3.19 that prevented helpers from working with file:/// urls.
- Fix toolbar editor to work when the composite extension is enabled
- Other bug fixes
27th November 2005 - Galeon 2.0
Yes, the day is finally upon us. As I promised when I announced
our future development plans, here's the actual Galeon 2.0 release.
Its' been about 3 years and 8 months since work began on the 1.3.x
development series and it's been unofficially stable for about half
that time - so this acknowledgement of that fact is well past due.
As such, we have another modest changelog:
2.0.0 "One for the road."
- Works with mozilla 1.7.5+, 1.8a3 and up; Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5
- Embedded http error message pages. (If mozilla support them)
- Security Device Manager button in security prefs.
- Delete key works in Personal Data Manager.
- Support for multimedia keyboard keys like Back and Forward.
- Other bug fixes.
The big item is really compatibility with firefox 1.5 (assuming
they don't do anything silly in the next couple of days...).
I'll repeat my assurance that this doesn't mean we're just stopping
galeon development cold; it's going to be quite a while before enough
work has been completed to make epiphany my primary browser so, if
nothing else, expect to see periodic releases that keep it compiling
against newer mozilla releases. You might even see a bug fix or two.
26th February 2006 - Galeon 2.0.1
I'm pleased to announce that galeon 2.0.1 has been released.
The big point of this release is compatibility with xulrunner,
which I'm sure debian users will appreciate Also, we've now
got firefox/xulrunner compatible typeaheadfind support.
2.0.1 "Look what we found."
- Works with Mozilla 1.7.5+, Seamonkey 1.0+, Firefox 1.0.x and 1.5+, and xulrunner 1.8+.
- Find toolbar ported from Epiphany. TypeAheadFind now works properly with firefox.
- Bug fixes
16th September 2006 - Galeon 2.0.2
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.
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 16/09/06
- 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 somwhere that the galeon build can find it.

When there are multiple applications doing the same thing (Web Browser) the application displaying the desktop entries can use the GenericName to group the similar items in some other way. For example, the following two menu structures could be possible for the same set of applications.
Internet Internet
+-- Epiphany (Web Browser) +-- Liferea Feed Reader
+-- Galeon (Web Browser) +-- Pan
+-- Liferea Feed Reader +-- Web Bookmarks
+-- Mozilla (Web Browser) +-- Web Browser
+-- Pan +-- Epiphany
+-- Web Bookmarks +-- Galeon
+-- Mozilla
Too bad gnome-panel doesn't seem to be using GenericName for anything :-/
http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec
PLAN (Done):
Sort out the "Go" toolbar button. Lots of people seem to like it, and it sucks when in the default icons + text toolbar mode. The problem is that it forces the navigation bar to be tall, ideally the toolbar (in the default layout) should just have a single line, just as high as the location entry. The Go button needs to be changed as follows:
- Renamed from "Jump to" to "Go"
- When in icons+text mode, only have the icon
- When in text mode just have the "Go" text
- The action shouldn't be renamed, otherwise we will have migration issues
This all sounds simple, and probably is. This is quite a nice little project for a first time galeon developer.

Mozilla String Handling
Mozilla used to have a wide range of string classes, which didn't provide a stable ABI. In mozilla 1.7 them implemented a couple of classes called nsEmbedString and nsEmbedCString. These are thin wrappers around a C like interface to provide a stable API/ABI. These interfaces are frozen.
In mozilla 1.8 there are more thin wrappers around the stable API to provide compatibility with the internal string classes (things like nsAutoString, nsDependentSubstring and NS_ConvertUTF16toUTF8). Unfortunately we can't use these as Galeon only supports mozilla 1.7.
Although the nsEmbedString API provides us with a useable interface, there is no easy way to convert from UTF16 <-> UTF8. To make it easy to perform the conversion, and provide a consistent and simple API, Galeon has a few string classes of its own that are compatible with the mozilla classes:
- GulString - A container for UTF16 strings (wrapper around nsEmbedString)
- GulCString - A container for UTF8 strings (wrapper around nsEmbedCString)
- GulDependantString - Wrap a string object around a const PRUnichar*
- GulDependantCString - Wrap a string object around a const char*
GulString and GulCString perform automatic conversion from UTF8 and UTF16 repsectively. They also provide some convenience functions that aren't available in the nsEmbedString API (such as IsEmpty() and Equals()).
The GulDependantString classes just wrap their argument in a string object, so that they can be passed to functions that expect an nsAString (or nsACString) input.
NS_LITERAL_STRING() wraps a literal (i.e. double quoted string) in a mozilla string class, it might be implemented as GulString or a proper mozilla class depending on the version of mozilla being compiled against, either way, you should NOT use variables inside the macro.
Summmary
| If you used to use this | Use this instead | Description |
|---|
| nsAutoString | GulString | Container for a UTF16 string |
| nsCAutoString | GulCString | Container for a UTF8 string |
| NS_LITERAL_STRING | NS_LITERAL_STRING | Wrapper around a literal string |
| nsDependentString | GulDependentString | Wrapper around a const PRUnichar* |
| nsDependentCString | GulDependentCString | Wrapper around a const char * |
| NS_ConvertUCS2toUTF8 | GulCString | Convert from UTF16 to UTF8, this is now done automatically |
| NS_ConvertUTF8toUCS2 | GulString | Convert from UTF8 to UTF16, this is now done automatically |
| nsXPIDLString | PRUnichar* / nsMemory::Free | You need to do this manually now |

Galeon: the web, only the web
Galeon is a GNOME Web browser based on Gecko (the mozilla layout engine). It's fast, it has a light interface, and it is fully standards-compliant. You can download it but first take a look at some screenshots and read additional documentation (installation...). Galeon requires Gnome and Mozilla.

How do I install the Java plugin
Answer:
It all depends on what distribution you are using:
Debian and Ubuntu
-
apt-get install java-package
- Download the latest j2se runtime environment from http://java.sun.com (the Linux self-extracting file version).
- Use the
make-jpkg program to build a debian package (fakeroot make-jpkg /tmp/jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin)
- Now install your newly created .deb (=sudo dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5*.deb)
After restarting galeon, you should now have the java plugin working

Tip: Monospaced font in the location entry
Put the following lines in ~/.gnome2/galeonrc (or with 1.3.16 and earlier versions ~/.gnome2/galeon-binrc) to get the location entry use monospaced font.
style "mono" { font_name = "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" }
widget_class "*.GaleonLocationEntry.*" style "mono"
- You can also put "monospace" instead of "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" and fontconfig will fall back to whatever monospace font it finds most suitable (which will most likely be Bitstream Vera Sans Mono if that's installed) -- MikaChu - 16 Feb 2005

PLAN:
Make a nicer download manager.
Would a desktop-wide download manager make more sense? Something that would not by itself transfer files, it would just be the user interface for
- displaying download progress
- provide controls to stop/pause/etc. individual downloads
Applications that do the actual downloading would simply signal status changes to the single download manager instead of all reinventing the management display. The benefit () would be that all your downloads can be controlled from a single place, be it a window, notification area or combination of both. (g)wget, Galeon, X-Chat downloads all in the same place...
Regardless of who implements the manager, in Galeon context we want () to show following (per file):
- file name
- MIME type icon
- status (downloading, completed, failed, paused)
- progress
- estimated time remaining
- total file size
- is the file being saved or will it be opened in another application?
- files to open should have their own progress dialogs (see HIG)
There should also be global status available:
- status (downloading, paused, completed)
- estimated time remaining
- something else?
And the actions for each item that should be possible from the manager, either in the context menu or in the "Edit" menu:
- stop (abort) the download
- pause/resume downloads (does anyone use these? do they even work reliably?)
- open the file with preferred application
- open the file with another application
- open the download directory in $FILEMANAGER
- Copy the source location.
- Copy the target location.
- View detailed properties of the dowload in a separate dialog.
Random ideas:
- all downloads, including completed ones, should be available in the dialog
- but hidden by default (View/Completed Downloads or something)
- including the source URL
- very similar to a bookmark...
- Drag and drop: to add bookmarks and to copy the source url.
- A mockup of possible UI:
08, Aug 2004 - New Galeon Web site
We are pleased to launch a new website for Galeon, in the past, our website hasn't always been the most up to date site ever. By using a wiki, we hope that users will feel able to contribute to the web site, and add content (FAQ entries, tips, documentation).
To get started editing the site, check out the editing web site page.
Any questions, then contact us and we will help.
Tip: No ads filter
- Create a file ~/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/chrome/userContent.css.
- Then copy the no ads filter in it.
- Then, restart Galeon and try some ugly ''full ads'' sites ;o).
Note : ~ is your /home/username/ directory.

Nobody Group
Used to prevent dangerous actions e.g. renaming TWikiPreferences - put NobodyGroup as the only group allowed to rename a topic and it can't be renamed.

26, Sep 2002 - Galeon2 Update
Marco has written up a synopsis of where galeon2 development stands and how you can help.
15, Oct 2002 - Galeon 1.2.6 "Hey, everyone else has wierd release names,
so why don't we?" Released!
- Compatible with 1.0.x, 1.1.x and 1.2a
- Compatible with gcc 3.2 with --disable-werror
- Complete Basic Sidebar support (No XUL sidebars)
- Proxy prefs should actually be respected for a change
- Support for forcing all cookies to be session cookies
- Fixed almost all downloader progress dialog related crashes.
- Helper app handling improved, and a number of bugs fixed
Yes! That's right! The first official galeon release with support for all three branches of the mozilla tree! However, this is only source level compatibility, you will need to recompile galeon for the particular mozilla version you are using, but it will compile.
26, Nov 2002 - Galeon 1.3.0 Released
This is the first unstable release based on gnome 2 libraries and gtk2 mozilla.
It's a development version. This means that it will crash, it won't work as expected and it may damage random files of your system. However, we encourage you to test it and report any bug you find, and send us patches if you feel that you can help.
We suggest to backup your .galeon directory before running it. Mozilla gtk2 port is still incomplete. So a patch need to be applied. Instructions are in the INSTALL file inside the package.
Galeon 1.3 has been a nearly complete rewrite. Many features has been retained, some have been dropped, some will be put back in the future, a few have been added. List all the changes would be too long, so just try it out
28, Dec 2002 - Galeon 1.2.7 Released
- Compatible with 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.2
- Sidebar link opening behaviour now matches Mozilla
- TypeAheadFind support
- bugfixes
This is a minor bugfix release of the stable branch that fixes a few bugs and adds support for Mozilla 1.2
08, 2002 - Galeon 1.3.1 (unstable) Released!
- Works with Mozilla 1.2.x and trunk. 1.2 requires a patch included with the galeon source tarball.
- Added compatability symbols so that gcc2 compiled plugins (esp. flash) will work if you compile with gcc3.x.
- proxy preferences moved to gnome control centre (you need control centre version 2.1.2 or later to be able to configure proxies for ftp and https). We have migration code that will move proxy prefs over.
- right mouse button gestures are actually usable.
- FTP browsing works again
- 'New' toolbar button restored
- tab detaching and dragging between windows
- saving and restoring GNOME session works again
- Ability to choose helper app restored
-
- bugfixes
The 1.3.x branch is a development branch and not designed to replace 1.2.x for the typical user who wants a browser that works.
Having said that, we're grateful for all the brave souls who try it out; we need your feedback to make galeon as good as possible!
19, 2002 - Galeon 1.3.1 tarball updated (whoops)
The original galeon 1.3.1 tarball accidentally didn't include the nautilus-view files, so we've uploaded an updated tarball. Sorry for the confusion.
16, Mar 2003 - Galeon 1.2.8 and 1.3.2 released!
Tada! After a couple of months of quiet, we are happy to announce the release of new version of galeon from both the stable and gnome2 branches.
They are:
Galeon 1.2.8 "Gettextize me captain!"
and
Galeon 1.3.2 "Stop calling us dead, or we'll haunt you"
They both support Mozilla 1.3b, the latest release (and Galeon 1.3.x requires at least Mozilla 1.3a) and feature bug fixes and 1.3.x also has some nice new features.
In the interest of brevity, the release notes can be found with the files in our sourceforge area; just click on the stable and development links in the top right of the website.
We currently have source tarballs up with rpms on the way.
Enjoy!
09, Apr 2003 - Galeon 1.3.3 released
This is the release many of you have been waiting for, it reintroduces the much wanted javascript etc. quick toggles. You're slowly running out of excuses if that has been your reason to stay with the stable 1.2.x releases
Even though the 1.3.x branch is a development branch, in practice it is considered stable for every day use.
1.3.3 "Dead man browsing"
- Works with Mozilla 1.3a, 1.3b, 1.3 and trunk
- The shortcuts for popups/java/javascript are back!
- Bookmarks can be added in the context menu
- Proxy configuration capplet can be started from preferences

- Context menu goodness for toolbar buttons
- Many improvements
- Fixes bugs raised by libbonoboui 2.2.0.1
- More bugfixes
17, Apr 2003 - Galeon 1.2.9 Released
This is a compatibility release that adds support for Mozilla 1.3 final. There is also a small fix to the gcc abi wrapper so that realplayer and other old plugins work properly even when galeon and mozilla are compiled with gcc 3.x
19, May 2003 - Galeon 1.2.10 and 1.3.4 Released
Galeon 1.2.10 "Zombie process"
Galeon 1.3.4 "Not bad for a dead guy"
New double release for galeon adds official support for Mozilla 1.4a. 1.3.4 is looking really nice, and while it is still technically unstable,it should do almost everything you want and we'd really like you to check it out!

Galeon 1.2.11 "Tommi wishes it would go away"
Galeon 1.3.5 "It's not dead, it's resting"
Yes, that's right, we're not actually dead. So here's a new release to prove it! 1.3.5 adds popup controls and sees the return of a couple of much missed features. And don't forget support for mozilla 1.4rc1!

22, Jul 2003 - Email Archives Link Repaired
It obviously hasn't been a big deal, since no-one's noticed since 2001, but the link on the support page to the galeon-user archives is repaired.
19, Aug 2003 - New 1.3.5 rpm
A new rpm for 1.3.5 compiled for redhat9 compiled against blizzard's mozilla 1.4 rpm's is available in the download area.
20, Aug 2003 - Galeon 1.3.6 Released
Galeon 1.3.6 "3,735,928,559"
Shiny new galeon release, largely provoked by the release of mozilla 1.4 final, although strangely enough, 1.3.5 is source compatible with 1.4; the first time that's ever happened since before mozilla 1.0.
As such, you won't see anything spectacularly big in this release; we've had a lot of bugs fixed with very much appreciated help from Chris Lahey at Ximian and Crispin Flowerday, and there are some subtle improvements.
- Works with Mozilla 1.3.x, 1.4, 1.5a, and trunk
- Translation sanity. If you have the appropriate langpack for your locale for mozilla installed, galeon will switch to it on start up.
- Try and switch to classic theme on start up to get native scrollbars
- Ctrl-Enter in location entry and auto-complete dropdown opens in new tab/window
- Ctrl-Enter and middle-click opens smartbookmark in new tab
- Toolbar button to toggle fullscreen mode
- Clear History actually works now

04, Sep 2003 - Galeon, A History
We've gotten many questions about why Galeon is the way it is, and here is the answer.
10, Oct 2003 - Galeon 1.3.8 Released!
After far too long, as seems rather common these days, we have a new galeon release for you. 1.3.8 has some nice new features and a revamped bookmark editor as well as a lot of bugfixes.
It's also significant because we're formally announcing that 1.2.x support will be limited to ensuring it still compiles with newer mozilla releases. This has been de facto for a while now, but we're now confident that 1.3.x is a good product for the average user despite its nominal 'unstable' status.
And here's the summarised changes:
Galeon 1.3.8 "What Documentation?"
- Works with Mozilla 1.3.x, 1.4, 1.5a, 1.5b, and trunk
- Rewritten preferences dialog with more options to play with
- Radically overhauled bookmarks editor
- Alternate stylesheet menu
- Show favicons in notebook tabs
- Drag and drop improvements
- Lots and lots of bugfixes
16, Oct 2003 - Galeon 1.3.9 released!
Ok, we screwed up with the last release and gave you a nasty bug which broke basically all form postings and stylesheets. But don't worry, you can keep the pieces. We'll even offer you this new release, for free! So here goes...
Galeon 1.3.9 "Space for rent"
- Works with Mozilla 1.4, 1.5a, 1.5b, and trunk
- Fixes form posting/stylesheet problems that slipped in 1.3.8
- Remove buggy man, info, toc -protocols, yelp does much better job
- Bugfixes
If even after upgrading you're still experiencing form posting/stylesheet problems, set the default encoding in Preferences/Language (ISO-8859-1 is a good choice unless you know better) and force reload, clear cache, and/or restart Galeon. (Mozilla is quite eager serving cached pages.) This fix works also for 1.3.8.
26, Nov 2003 - Galeon 1.3.10 Released
Over a month has passed since 1.3.9, and since then Mozilla 1.5 has arrived, so its time for a new release:
1.3.10 "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
- Works with Mozilla 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 1.6a and trunk
- Add Gtk dialogs for most of the mozilla PSM prompts
- Better errors if startup fails
- Importing of Epiphany bookmarks
- Use correct gnome icons in unknown mime type dialog
- Tabs can be dragged to another window when the tab bar isn't visible
- Lots and lots of bugfixes
18, 2003 - Galeon 1.3.11 "XXX: FIXME"
We are pleased to announce a brand new release of Galeon. This releasecontains quite a lot of bug fixes, and, all being well, will be the lastbonoboui based release of Galeon. The future is libegg, and Gtk 2.4.
- Works with Mozilla 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.5, 1.6b and trunk
- Add yet more Gtk versions of Mozilla PSM dialogs
- Use points rather than pixels for font sizes
- Improve tab insertion logic to add tabs to the end of the list
when creating tabs unrelated to the current page.
- Implement per-host zoom saving
- Fix lots of little printing bugs
- Try and automatically fix broken charset preferences
- By popular demand, make Escape close the Find dialog
- Lots of bug fixes
19, 2003 - Galeon 1.3.11a "XXX: FIXED"
And hot on the heals of 1.3.11, we have another release Thanks go to Tim Jackson who very quickly spotted that the font preferences dialogwere not set to their initial state when loading the dialog.
- Ensure that the font preferences are read from gconf correctly (spotted by Tim Jackson)
22, Feb 2004 - Galeon 1.3.12 "The One With Documentation"
Here it is! After much parallel development we can finally announce the first egg based release of galeon. So, lots of changes and improvements in this one!
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.6 and trunk
- Switch to GNOME icon themes for spinners. See FAQ for using your old spinners
- Switched over to libegg from libbonoboui. Finally

Mostly just javascript calls
- Encoding menu from epiphany
- Tab Menu once agin lists tabs contained in window
- "Move Tab To Another Window" menu restored. Not forced to drag-and-drop tabs now.

- Cleaned up stale preferences and updated ExtraPrefs?
- Updated Documentation. Yay!
16, Mar 2004 - Galeon 1.3.13 "Lets try that again"
The Galeon developers are pleased to announce a new release. This release fixes a lot of bugs and regressions from the bonoboui->libegg port.
- Works with Mozilla 1.4 through 1.6 and trunk
- Stop the URL from disappearing from the location bar when loading pages in new tabs
- Add filtering and in-line cookie detail viewing to the Personal Data Manager.
- Preserve any accelerator changes

- Make history low-disk safe, and more robust when loading corrupted
history files.
- lots of other bug fixes.
17, Mar 2004 - 1.3.13a
I suppose you can say we were asking for it with a release name like that...
I used the shiny new automake 1.8.2 when building the tarballs and that was obviously a mistake. It fails to include a helper script needed to make installation succeed. I've readded this file and pushed out 1.3.13a tarballs. The in-program version is still reported as 1.3.13 as if you've got galeon installed, you don't have a problem
Please get the new tarball and sorry for the mess.
Can I make Galeon to open certain file types without asking first whether to open or save?
Short Answer:
No.
Longer Answer:
Adding this feature means we'd have to implement pretty much a complete MIME type database editor, which already exists in Nautilus. Such duplication of effort would be pointless and also having such a feature in Galeon would be illogical. You'd be picking the application in one place (Nautilus) and Open/Save/Ask in another (Galeon) or picking the application for GNOME desktop in one place and another application only for Galeon.
The list of file types to open always should be maintained somewhere else so that all applications (Galeon, Epiphany, Nautilus, ...) can agree on what to do with remote files. And as Nautilus is currently the place to choose the application from it's the most logical place to choose what to do with remote files as well.

Where have all the preferences gone?
Answer:
Galeon 1.3 is designed to be simpler to use and configure for the average user. This has meant that some preferences that were in Galeon 1.2 are no longer available. However, quite a lot of preferences are available, they just don't have a user interface.
For information on these hidden preferences, look in the README.ExtraPrefs file that is distributed with galeon. The current CVS version of this file is also available online. The online version may be slightly different from your local copy, as features are added and changed.
- Use gconf-editor to edit Galeon preferences manually. Try the following command:
gconf-editor /apps/galeon
- For many advanced (Mozilla) preferences/features, put about:config into the (Galeon) location entry.

PLAN:
Make print preview suck less. Basically by showing the preview in a separate window like all sane programs.
- clone the currently viewed GaleonEmbed? (
galeon_embed_copy_page())
- print preview the new one (
galeon_embed_print())
- add
File/Print Preview...
- add
Print in the Print Preview dialog (see below)
OPEN ITEMS:
- should there be a progress dialog in case it takes very long to finish the print preview?
- during cloning total progress doesn't seem to be available so progress bar is useless, you can only show activity
- when switching on print preview, feedback might be available via nsIWebProgressListener (or
net-state signals, I didn't actually check that)
NOTES:
- you can't print preview until the page has finished loading
- you can't print preview in
"net-stop" callback either, it's still too soon
- you can print preview in an idle function after
net-stop
- the new GaleonEmbed? should be shown only after
galeon_embed_print(), otherwise it will display the HTML rendering of the page for a short while and it's a very noticeably flash
-
net-stop isn't signalled if you print preview about:blank (what else? )
- total time from click to finished print preview is somewhere between 300 – 1600 ms (though I observed some 4000 ms peak also)
-
galeon_embed_print() takes a few hundred milliseconds, most of the time is spent waiting
-
use busy cursor while waiting
- you can print the original GaleonEmbed? and avoid the silly "can't print while in print preview" error
- need to make sure the user can't load other URL while in print preview
- what about autorefreshing pages?
- or you can just exit
Print Preview first
