Hi all (currently 85 subscribed mailing list members).

After months of heavy coding, we finally decided to release version 0.5
with many changes:

2007-08-16:
	* version 0.5
	* :bmarks and :history now use the multiline message window for output
	* rename :bm, :bmadd, and :bmdel to :bmarks, :bmark, and :delbmarks respectively
	* new :normal command
	* the command line keeps focus now, even when clicking outside of it
	* vimperator.events.feedkeys("2zi") support for scripts
	* Ctrl-U/Ctrl-D for scrolling the window up/down and the associated
	'scroll' option
	* files in ~/.vimperator/plugin/ are auto-sourced
	* :winopen support (multiple windows still very very experimental)
	* 'activate' option implemented
	* search engines which use POST instead of GET work now
	* :javascript < green, broken sites -> red in the statusbar
	* Vimperator now sets the window title, so it's "vimperator.mozdev.org -
	  Vimperator" instead of "vimperator.mozdev.org - Mozilla Firefox"
	  Use :set titlestring=... to change it back (help from Hannes Rist)
	* :tabmove command (by Doug Kearns)
	* 'showstatuslinks' option to control where/if we show the destination of
	a hovered link
	* :version! shows firefox version page
	* hovered links appear in the command line again, not statusbar
	* :help now opens in the current tab even for xhtml pages like "about:"
	* hints work on xhtml pages now (you need to reset the 'hinttags' and
	  'extendedhinttags' settings with :set hinttags& and :set extendedhinttags&)
	* :set option& resets the option to the default value
	* added :tabonly and :tabrewind and :tablast commands and some futher aliases :tabNext, etc. (by Doug Kearns)
	* added vimparator.vim for .vimperatorrc syntax highlighting in the XPI (by Doug Kearns)
	* Added keyword support for bookmarks to the :[tab]open commands
	* many small bug fixes and enhancements


Actually this list is even far from complete, there were really many
changes and bug fixes.

For all changes have a look at this new webview of the repository:
http://hg.intevation.org/mirrors/mozdev.org/vimperator-cvs/shortlog/tip

Please try it out, post bug reports, send patches, make monetary
donations, tell your friends about it, etc. - you know same story for
every release :)


Have fun,

Martin

PS: All users running CVS: We'll switch to Firefox3 ONLY development in
the next days, so please wait with updating CVS for some days, and then
only do a cvs up, if you already have a Firefox3 alpha installed or
continue using 0.5.
