    Once again Fab released an update for OWB. Works like a charme (posted this with OWB 1.1 on my Efika).

    Grab you copy from here: http://fabportnawak.free.fr/owb/
    Both, a no SVG and SVG version are available again.

    Changes from the readme:
    - 05.11.2010: OWB 1.11
    - Updated to WebKit to r71312 (5th November 2010). Fixes amongst other things:
    - lazy loading of thumbnails on youtube and google image.
    - crash at http://www.reco.se.
    - Updated to Pixman 0.20.0.
    - Now compiled with GCC 4.4.4.
    - Avoid redrawing a bitmap each time a data chunk is received from network. Should speed
    up pictures loading time, or at least decrease CPU usage substancially.
    - Added a workaround to avoid using "complex font rendering" code path (triggered by
    "text-rendering: optimizedlegibility" CSS attribute, or by fonts requiring ligatures).
    The complex mode is indeed not implemented in cairo/freetype font backend, which
    caused the sites using it to show invisible text (for instance http://www.mentor.com/).
    - Replaced the contextmenu for media elements with WebKit's own implementation.
    - Added SELECTEDTEXT REXX command (text is converted to local charset).
    - Added "Ignore" to the available mimetype user actions.
    - Added Safari 5 and Opera 10 user agents.
    - Updated youtube_fullscreen_fix.js to support embedded youtube as well (remove/readd the script to take
    the new URL pattern into account)
    - In youtube.js, remove explicitely the dynamically created video element at unload event,
    to avoid a potential media instance "leak".
    - Hopefully fixed some rare random crash related to a bug in reference pointers holding cairo objects.
    - Enabled again the "death requester" in case of low memory, since it had been disabled somehow.
    This requester is somewhat useful, because it frees allocated memory and kills OWB in a harmless way.

    Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
