luakit - browser framework

Summary of changes in 2011.07.22:

• Force webview.uri to return "about:blank" if uri property NULL or an empty string.
• Store private webview instance data in a private struct again.
• Add luaH_checkwebview function to check for webview widget type.
• Add luaH_checkwvdata macro to check for webview widget and return the widgets private data struct.
• Check callback type in luaH_webview_register_function.
• Bugfix: Don't perform bitwise operations on the WEBVIEW_LOAD_* enums.
• Prevent stack leaks in create_web_view_cb by checking signal return type correctly.
• Use hash table iterator to push webview frames table.
• Add more doxygen comments.
• Merge l_exec function into the luaH_luakit_exec function.
• Bugfix: missing luaH_object_unref call in luaH_luakit_idle_remove.
• Bugfix: don't use g_utf8_strlen to get the selection text length (was truncating selection text when it contained unicode characters).
• Raise "property::position" when cursor moves in entry widget.
• Add optional move_cursor hook to all modes.
• Refactor of completion lib to allow history completion (and more in the future).
• Bugfix: if gtk_main_level() == 0 then call exit directly.
• Bugfix: missing return keyword causing module sigfuncs to not return any values.
• Add more readline bindings to command mode (del-backward-char & del-forward-char).
• Add libunique bindings which allow us to open links in running instances (as new tabs).
• Add -U,--nounique launch options to prevent the libunique bindings being loaded (for a single instance session).
• Add window:set_screen(GdkScreen) function to move luakit between screens. Used in conjunction with libunique to move luakit to the current screen when opening links in running instances.
• Allow compiling luakit without libunique bindings with make WITH_UNIQUE=0.
• key_press_cb not checking if user returned true/false to catch event.
• Catch "scroll-event" signal to bind keys to mousewheel movements (mouse buttons 4 to 7).
• Bugfix: fix typo causing segfault in luaH_widget_get_child.
• Bugfix: remove sentinel row in widget constructor table (was causing segfaults if widget name doesn't exist).
• Write a proper README file with full list of compile options & etc.
• Bugfix: cookies not working on 32 bit systems due to incorrect string format option (%d -> %.0f).
• Add [count]zz binding for normal absolute percent zoom and [count]zZ for full content absolute zoom. Default values are 100% so they can still be used to reset the zoom level.
• Add window:maximize(), :unmaximise(), :fullscreen(), :unfullscreen() window methods.
• Add window.decorated property for window managers with weird defaults (hides the resize triangle at the bottom right of the window).
• Bugfix: download timer running endlessly after all downloads finished.
• Make cookie module raise an "accept-cookie" signal to allow other libs to block cookies.
• Add cookie_blocking lib which blocks cookies by domain according to the users $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luakit/cookie.whitelist and cookie.blacklist files (supports glob patterns).
• yt now yanks webview title not window title (window title gets truncated when too long).
• Add Ctrl+MouseWheelUp/MouseWheelDown zoom bindings.
• Add NoScript module which allows you to toggle blocking of scripts and or plugins on a per-domain basis with ,ts & ,tp. Use ,tr to remove rules for the current domain.
• Bugfix: fixed typo preventing following from within frames.
• Add Shift+MouseWheelUp/MouseWheelDown horizontal scrolling binds.
• Add socket widget (wrapper around GtkSocket object) which allows embedding external applications which support the XEmbed protocol.
• Bugfix: fixed typo causing luakit crash when opening a file.
• Large refactor of follow module into separate files and in introduction of "following styles" which allow the user to have complete control over how the hint labels are generated.
• Add :userscripts function to list all installed userscripts and :userscriptinstall to install a userscript if currently viewing a .user.js file.
• Add F11 binding for fullscreen toggling.
