Arora Description

A lightweight cross-platform web browser Arora is a lightweight cross-platform web browser. It's free (as in free speech and free beer). Arora runs on Linux, embedded Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows and any other platform on which the Qt toolkit can run on.Arora uses the QtWebKit port of the fully standards-compliant WebKit layout engine. It features fast rendering, powerful JavaScript engine and supports Netscape plugins. Here are some key features of "Arora": · very fast startup · integration with desktop environments · smart location bar · session management · privacy mode · flexible search engine management · ClickToFlash plugin · download manager · WebInspector, a set of tools for web developers · 30 translations Requirements: · Qt What's New in This Release: · Drop support for Qt 4.4. FEATURES: · Add support for search keywords in the location bar. · POST support for OpenSearch suggestion requests. · Add WebKit version to the About dialog . · Use HTTP pipelining for all network requests . IMPROVEMENTS: · Remember last used save directory. · Added file dialog to download location settings. · Restrict drag and drop to the same page unless a QWebView accepts it. · Open an URL dropped on the tab bar as new tab or replace existing tab. · Allow url to be dropped on the tab bar from other applications. · Add a Select All action. · Rather than not allowing setting or getting of any cookies in private mode create a blank cookie jar. · Significantly speed up the cookie dialog by keeping a cached copy of all the cookies. · Enhance the language manager to fallback to the country file if the country_language file doesn't exists. · Add drag support for downloaded item in the download manager. · Add Planet Qt to the default set of bookmarks. · Remove the text wrapping option from the source viewer's menu and instead enable it by default. BUGFIXES: · Avoid duplicated and contradictory rules on the cookie rule list. · Change the shortcut for showing the bookmark toolbar as it was conflicting with the show bookmark dialog shortcut. · Encode the user input before inserting it into an URL template. · Fix a crash when cloning a blank tab. · When the widget losses focus hide the access keys. · Fix detection of flash on various websites when ClickToFlash is used. · Avoid an infinite recursion when asking the desktop to open an URL. · When the download manager prevents the application from closing add a new tab when there are none. · Only show the url completer if the user is typing a url. · Always add the Inspect Element Action to the context menu when the developer extra tools are enabled. · Bookmarklets were not working properly. · Work around for a segfault in Qt 4.5.2 where you go into privacy mode while a QNetworkReply is still working. · Clarify the networkdisk cache behavior in the messagebox. · Start page: Reduce the top margin to 100px from so it fits on a netbook screen. · Hide the bookmarks toolbar by default. · Turn off cookie tracking filtering by default because it breaks sites like StackOverflow.com. · Before clearing the cookie jar, load it so the exceptions and other settings are loaded. · When removing cookies from the cookie jar via the cookie dialog notify the autosaver. · When receiving a drop event on a bookmark folder, make sure that we don't drop a child bookmark. · Avoid overwriting the user agent string in the WebPage autotest. · Fix non-ASCII characters displayed garbled for Authors. Behind the scenes: · Merge two blocks of code that deals with oneCloseButton policy. · Make parentWindow() prettier. · Simplify updates of actions in view menu. · Save the window state when toggling the menu bar. · Save UI changes in the active window before creating a new one. · Move all network related files into one directory.
