[rekonq] 0.7 Development: TABS UP

[Andrea Diamantini]

  Hi all,
I'm here to explain what's happening in rekonq development and what's 
the next 20 days roadmap. First of all, I have to say I'm sorry for my 
silence in this last period (basically, after 0.6 release).
I'm partecipating to the akonadi-based-kdepim beta period and I have to 
say I'm having a lot of problems with my mail.
To restore a bit the situation, I decided to switch for some time to 
thunderbird (or better, use in parallel with kmail), to effectively read 
all mail and properly reply.

Moreover, school has started again and I need some time also there to 
let everything start smooth. So, my relative silence also in IRC.

Anyway, I'm coding a couple of hours a day during late night and I'm 
preparing the "main" feature for the 0.7 release: "tabs up". There are 
yet 3 or 4 serious regressions to fix and I'm using this "big" change to 
do also some refactoring/move/rename. If you are curious about what's 
happening, check the "TABS_UP_BRANCH" in gitorious. When it will be 
"ready" to merge, I'll anyway mail again here and wait for some time of 
review.

To say the truth, I'm not yet completely convinced from this change 
(let's say, I'm ~80% convinced) and I really like to hear your opinions 
about.
Moreover, I'm too much curious about trying developing a multitasking 
browser and I really think the TABS_UP are the best option for.

Enough for now. Spending another hour of my friday evening hacking on 
rekonq..

Regards,
Andrea from this strange thunderbird mail client (kmail will really rock!!)
