This is the first pre-release leading to the 1.8 series. What's new in the WebKitGTK+ 1.7.90 release? ============================================ - Geolocation support is built by default now. Use --disable-geolocation during build to disable it. - requestAnimationFrame support is built by default now. Use --disable-request-animation-frame during build to disable it. - Remove defunct WebInspector GSettings mapping. - Lots of build fixes for Windows, GNU Hurd, A64, SPARC and Alpha. - WebKit will try to use the default libsoup proxy resolver automatically. - Now interpret plugin metadata as UTF-8. - Web content (except plugins) should no longer steal focus from other GTK+ widgets.
