Release Notes: Since this version, only QWebKit is supported; support for QTextBrowser (which was never a full HTML browser) and KHTMLPart (which is outdated) was removed. This should result in fewer bugs reports related to old and buggy browsers. Java/Javascript, plugins, and HTML5 options can be enabled/disabled for Webkit. Support has been added for opening a specific page at startup with the --url switch. A few crashes have been fixed.


Release Notes: Mac support was added. A few minor bugs were fixed. Ukrainian and Brazilian translations were added.

An OpenSuSE 11.2 RPM was provided.
