Hi,

You may have seen some uploads recently, improving things by large. An
even newer update is currently being uploaded to unstable.

So, what do we have now ?
- a stable Gtk API/ABI
- CSS gradients (https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=20472)
- Acid3 at 100% again (it got down because the test was changed as being
  wrong), without linktest failed, and with text shadow
- More stability on javascript (there were problems with the garbage
  collector)
- Working onrelease events
- Improvements in epiphany-webkit and liferea-webkit
- kazehakase is growing a webkit backend

Still known issues:
- background-image not rendered
- Font selection broken for exotic languages (and depending on $LANG)
- No support for the X selection buffer
- No support for HTTP Authentication

Fill free to file bugs when you hit other issues.

Cheers,

Mike
