[rekonq] Rekonq 1.2 && Rekonq 2.0

[andrea diamantini]

Hi all,
long time no posts here, so it's time for some rekonq news :)
I'm going to release (in 2 days) last code from 1.1 series, the rekonq 1.2
one. It will contain, together with some bugfixes, our first windows
installer to easy adoption on "third-world software" platforms :)
rekonq on windows is really not usable yet, but it is doing some nice
progress.

On the other hand, I'd like to show my work on the upcoming 2.0 series. Its
code is actually located here: "git://
anongit.kde.org/scratch/adjam/rekonq2.git". It is a "tabs up" version of
rekonq, based on qwidget (no qmainwindows there), with a strong code
reorganization and the possibility to introduce "in as easy way" some nice
features probably availables since 2.0 release:
- a webapp integrated in the "main" rekonq code (no code duplication. I
will implement this in the upcoming week)
- a new tabs management (identical to firefox, just available)
- a pin tab feature (adapting, fixing and improving one year's ago Furkan
"pin tab code")

Another thing to decide that will be "easy" to introduce now is the ability
to create one process per window, being window also separated tabs (see
webapp first point). This, together with kwin tab scripting feature will
enable a real "one process per tab" rekonq.
I'm not sure this will be implemented in the 2.0 series because it will
also cost the implementation of the sharing mechanism (via dbus?) for eg.
history & bookmarks.

Some things may probably be also added if you have valid suggestions (eg:
someone was proposing a new implementation for the rekonq pages). I'm just
pointing out that I'd like to respect this plan:
- 15 to 20 october: rekonq 1.80 release (the "technology preview", no more
feature in after this line).
- 15 to 20 november: rekonq 1.90 (rekonq 2 beta)
- 15 to 20 december: rekonq 2.0 release!

Regards,
