gngr v0.3.5, usability and layout improvements
by Thu, 15 Jan 2015
onA new release of gngr is available (version 0.3.5) with usability and layout improvements. The release is available from the download page.
Changes
Usability
- Show new windows as soon as possible. Earlier, a new browser window would be shown only after all resources were fetched. They are now shown immediately, even before connections are attempted. #65
- Show visiting URL immediately (not after navigation). Similar to above, the URL in the address bar was being updated only after all resources were fetched. #64
Layout and CSS
- CSS `@import` now works. Thanks to the project maintainers of jStyleParser who gave quick responses to our requests. #60
- Images now maintain aspect ratio when width or height is constrained #76
- The CSS property `max-width` is now supported #75
- Tabs in `<pre>` are now preserved #71
- Background image centering now works correctly. This is evident on wikipedia home page, for example. #69
Code
- Upgrade okhttp libraries to version 2.2.0 #56
- Update h2 library to latest version #3
- Many code cleanups. We reviewed and merged into master branch some of the tentative changes that are kept on the `uglyPatches` branch. We will hopefully review and merge them all before the next planned release: version 0.4.
