Hi,

* What is it ?
==============

Epiphany is the GNOME web browser, based on the mozilla
rendering engine. It aims to be simple and easy to use.

http://gnome.org/projects/epiphany/

Epiphany 1.4.1 is the latest stable release in the GNOME 2.8 series.

* What's changed ?
==================

Starting with version 1.4.1, Epiphany can be compiled against firefox'
libraries as well as mozilla's libraries. To do so, pass the
--with-mozilla=[mozilla|firefox] argument to configure.
To compile with firefox, you also need to apply the patch from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256988 to firefox' build
process, or fix the firefox-*.pc files manually.
