OT : Epiphany 0.9.0 released

[Anonymous Coward]

Gnome users, the antipated 0.9.0 release is here. Get bug fixing it for the 1.0.0 release. Especially that error dialog with the the following message

Ephy can't be used now. Running the command "bonobo-slay" from the console may fix the problem. If not, you can try rebooting the computer or installing Ephy again.

[quote] Are you on the grapevine yet ? [/quote] Surprisingly not, due to its sad (but not unexpected) lack of support for anything other than Windows and Internet Explorer.

Re:fair warning

[jacquesm]

yep, we're aware of that, and working on it. Unfortunately we are only two (Keir Mierle and myself) and browser plug ins are not exactly easy to make (or debug). Keir will start working on different browser plug ins soon...

Beta is relative

Mandrake's cooker was more stable than my WinNT or Win2K boxen when I was keeping in sync with the dev trees.

Even the older libraries I rely on like libwww are under constant development, with bug fixes and enhancements showing up regularly.

The question is not whether an OS needs to be patched, but whether you're willing to wait for the patches and want to pay another 50% to get them with the "upgrade".
