- Opening a link in a new tab takes your browse history with you.

- Add page security info dialogue from Certificates extension.
- Adopted the new GTK+ Printing dialogs
For Developers
Add methods to EphyNode to set typed properties. This change improves the Python API so it should be easy now to play with bookmarks. Add https and ftp local bookmarks. Based on a patch by Celso Pinto, bug 330679.
