This release has several areas of improvement:
 - core code reorganisation enabling future work
 - greatly extended core component test coverage
 - stability improvements gained from fuzzing with AFL [2]
 - frontend updates (amiga and GTK)
 - much improved supercookie protection [3]
 - many lots of bug fixes

The release will be made at the weekend unless any showstoppers are
identified.

Btw what's wrong with "need to sort out binary stripping"?

Doing:
make NETSURF_USE_JS=NO NETSURF_USE_MNG=NO BUILD=debug 
NETSURF_STRIP_BINARY=YES


Gives a functionnal 4.1MB binary instead of 9MB.
I just checked and the stripping is done before adding the resources, as 
should be (strip doesn't know about resources and so removes them).

Just tested, git HEAD seems to still build on Haiku.
