Cool new stuff. First release. And a nice community contribution...

Hi. I intend to make the lives of downstream packagers a little easier so I will call my master tags "releases" and provide links to tarballs. Expect a new release every few weeks or so.

So here is the first uzbl alpha release, version 2009.07.03

This version brings:

A JS object to execute commands (be sure to read the security implications in the readme)

config file changes: command substitution, variable expansion, javascript substitution

bidirectional socket (responses come back through the socket now)

reading config from stdin is optional now (so you can background uzbl)

Makefile compat fix, typos, cookies.py XDG paths bugfix and more small stuff

For people with crappy window managers or on platforms over which they have very little control (*cough* you know who you are), lazy ones or just those who haven't seen the light yet, there is more good news:

Some people in the community have taken it on them to improve uzbl_tabbed.py... a lot! (uzbl_tabbed.py was the proof of concept script introduced 2 weeks ago to demonstrate the Xembed functionality) While it is quite new, I must say it is starting to look quite nice (and configurable).

It's not for everyone, but I think some people will really like it. You'll find this updated version in the example scripts directory.

PS: There are still plenty of patches in my todo list. Give me some more time :)

kthxbye. Dieter
