What is about to come ???? - update

Follows a list of features I'll be working for minimo maemo port for the next couple days:

  • Add hardware key support (especially zoom_in/out and fullscreen).
  • Updating minimo through default Maemo's Application Manager has problems.
  • implement context sensitive menus for a stylus-oriented device.
  • missing "home bar". (where is it ???)
  • bookmark are not being properly persisted. (not yet implemented in minimo ???)
  • Hack built-in flash plugin to make it work with minimo.
  • make proxy work for FTP and HTTPS protocols.
  • default home setting does not work.
  • investigate crash on https://agenor.equipement.gouv.fr/ - maybe certificate ?
  • problems inputting hebrew, russian, finish characters via vkb.
minor ones:
  • clipboard operations (cut, copy and paste)
  • track mozilla bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313665 (minimo exits crashing if X button if pressed)
  • try to fix download dialog crash.
  • 'open file' does not work.
  • remove 'pushd/popd' commands from run-minimo script uses - they seem to be not supported. (FIXED in 0.16.8-1)
  • proxy are not being set properly via vkb. (FIXED in 0.16.8-1)
  • keep tarsbar on the top on fullscreen mode by default. (FIXED in 0.16.8-1)
  • add menu item for toggle on/off spatial navigation / scrolling via arrow buttons. (FIXED in 0.16.8-1)
  • remove 'enable ssr' and 'Set minimo as default browser' check buttons from preferences-general tab. (FIXED in 0.16.8-1)
  • addind back ' X' button for tab closing. (FIXED in 0.16.8-2)
  • look for a rotate screen solution.

ps : this list might grow up. It depends only on your feedback. Feel free to suggest anything.
