Releases:Release Notes 1.5

There are several pages that track "major" changes on the FF2.0 branch. These could be very handy for when we want to create our release notes. What's new in Bon Echo Alpha 3 (for Firefox 2).

Release Notes for Camino 1.1b are at Releases:1.1b:Notes (Release Notes for Camino 1.1a2 are at Releases:1.1a2:Notes and notes for Camino 1.1a1 are at Releases:1.1a1:Notes). These notes are for checkins after the release of Camino 1.1b.

General

• The warning that appears when attempting to launch a copy of Camino while another copy is already running will now close properly.
• Built-in keyboard shortcuts for certain functions (e.g. for Bookmark Bar items) will no longer override menu shortcuts chosen by users.
• Pages are no longer truncated when navigating back to them from a page which showed the pop-up blocker.
• Images dragged from the Desktop to a Camino window will now display properly.

Bookmarks

• Command-key shortcuts for bookmarks in the Bookmark Bar no longer triggered when modifier keys are also held down.
• The “Use as Dock Menu” context menu item is now disabled when the History collection is selected.
• When bookmarking a page or a set of pages, pages with data: or javascript: URLs will no longer be bookmarked.
• When importing bookmarks from Firefox, Camino will use the profile that was changed most recently if there are multiple profiles.

Privacy & Security

• Camino now stores and accesses different credentials (in the Keychain) for different http Auth realms on the same host.
• Usernames saved in the Keychain are now treated in a case-insensitive manner.
• When accessing a Keychain item created by Safari, Camino no longer alters the item so that Safari cannot read it, and if Camino accesses an altered item again, it will restore Safari's ability to access that item.
• The list of sites for which Camino will never save a password is now a .plist file instead of a binary file.
• Showing “Installed Plug-ins” will no longer cause some security warning preferences to be reset.

Tabs

• Pages will now be restored properly after a crash.
• Open pages are now remembered more frequently in case Camino quits unexpectedly.
• Clicking a link from an external application which is already open in Camino will now show the existing tab or window and reload it.
• When a link from an external application launches Camino and there are saved pages to be restored, the link will now respect the “Links opened by other applications” preference.

User Interface
