QupZilla

Shortly before 1.2.0 release, Alexander Samilov sent me his patch adding tab previews into QupZilla.
His first patch implemented only basic tab previews (as you may see in other browsers). But I thought we can do better! I told him, I want to make it really beautiful before merging it into repository.
So he started working again with animations in mind and my other needs.

Yesterday, he sent me his work. I really liked it, however I missed resizing and fade in/out animations. Today, I commit it into github.

You can see how it looks on this video:


Thanks again to Alexander Samilov and I hope you like it.

I am happy to announce new release again :-)
There has been over 300 commits since last version.

This release is in the name of Plugins. In this version, you will get 2 plugins (MouseGestures and AccessKeysNavigation). But it is not the only new feature, there has been also a lot of small improvements and fixes including several possible crashes.

I'd like to highlight option don't load tabs until selected, that you probably may know from Firefox. It greatly speed up restoring sessions with a lot of opened tabs.

At the beginning of this month, Adobe released new version of Flash 11.2. You are encouraged to update your Flash installation as this version greatly improves stability of all QtWebKit based browsers.

Note: On Windows, middle mouse click in webview automatically turns on auto scroll feature and I don't know yet how to ignore this behaviour. So MouseGestures might have some issues there.
