- Built current version of libxml2. It seems most of the OWB crashes were caused by bugs in the old libxml2, for example with the new version OWB doesn't crash on the ACID3 test.
- Implemented JavasCript alert requester
- Added charset support to the clipboard functions. When using cut or copy it writes the UTF-8 CSET chunk now, for pasting it supports US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 and replaces unknown chars in all other charsets by '?', if there is no CSET chunk it's treated as ISO-8859-1.
- Added iconify support
- Updated to SVN revision 472
