The future of Galeon

weekend, even though Crispin had to pay his own way :-) So, it was
a good opportunity for us to sit down and discuss the future of Galeon.
All of us are very much working fulltime which limits the extent to
which we can hack on Galeon and the amount of activity you've observed
speaks for itself.

As such, we've reached the conclusion that we have to change our
approach if we're going to avoid Galeon getting stale or bit-rotting;
which is important for all of us, as we all use Galeon because we
still think it's the best thing out there :-)

This is the release many of you have been waiting for, it reintroduces
the much wanted javascript etc. quick toggles. You're slowly running
out of excuses if that has been your reason to stay with the stable
1.2.x releases ;)

Even though the 1.3.x branch is a development branch, in practice it is
considered stable for every day use.
