Exactly 10 days ago we announced Rekonq Beta1well it just appeared Rekonq Beta3... yes, it's not a mistake ... Beta2 never made an appearance hehe.
How to Live Aligned with the author tells us on his blog, Beta2 came out only 2 days ago, however it was not available or was broadcast because apparently it had some licensing problems in some files (??… it does not clarify what they are…).
In addition, it tells us that it is already beginning to "freeze" rekonq 0.8, which means that we should soon have a RC (Candidate for Stable.
An important novelty is that they are already supporting QtWebKit 2.2, for which he calculates that both performance and stability will improve significantly.
And this is it, I leave you the changes that are exhibited in Rekonq 0.8 Beta1 (y also in this current Beta3):
- AdBlock: Rules to avoid advertising and other annoying things
- Modifications in the address bar (added "paste and go", etc).
- Tab history now included in Restore Tabs.
- Changes in the interface, specifically in the menu.
- Now you can close the entire window, closing the last tab.
- Use KParts to see the source code, this way the source code is not downloaded twice, that is, the code loaded will be displayed and the browser will not request that the code be downloaded again.
- A simple "click" mechanism to manipulate and manage our "favorites".
- Added option "Not to follow", Something like anonymous browsing.
- In the history we will now have the option of "first time visited", which will obviously tell us when was the first time we visited that site.
- Tab messages will now use KMessageWidget.
- Implemented "drag and drop", which means that we can drag the files to and from the browser, and depending on whether the website supports it, we can upload or download these files.
- [Ctrl] + [Number] it will be enough for us to use our favorite shortcuts (keyboard shortcuts).
However, I recommend reading our previous article about this browser: Rekonq 0.8 beta1 is released [Details] and next version preview
Greetings.
Damn, it is weird about the problems with the licenses ...
Weird weird about the licenses 0_0
Still I'm happy HAHAHA I solved my problems with Rekonq (crashes and so on) by deleting a file. By deleting it, I could load more than 5 tabs at the same time without crashing: ') It was an All-Bran XDD moment. on my computer (of course, I'm talking from personal experience).
I'm looking forward to version 0.8 Final and Stable to see if I can finally stop depending on GTK browsers and use one that is made in Qt. So by the way I take advantage of it and by the time I format for Kubuntu 11.10 (a few weeks after it comes out) I will install only Firefox (as secondary browser) Reqonk 0.8 as the primary one and I will finally forget Chrome xD. (Yes, I use Kubuntu ¬¬ I read some comments in which it seems that you do not like ubuntu XDDDD very much) but it meets my basic needs so I have no problem using it, now, I'm not going to defend it tooth and nail because not I am a fan of Canonical xD.
Regards! 😀
Actually now I will install Kubuntu 11.10 (beta1) on my laptop hehe… nah don't worry, personally I prefer ArchLinux and elav prefers Debian or LMDE, it's not that we hate * buntu actually, we just consider that it is no longer as good a product as was before.
Don't worry about the Kubuntu thing, you would like to see the virtual machines of KZKG ^ Gaara to see what he has on there….
The locks thing is normal, it happened to me with Kubuntu 8.10, but with everything, not with Rekonq ...
