The default engine is used when search terms are typed in the
address entry without tokens and for the 'Search the Web' item
in the selection context menu.
The 'Location entry search' is removed from the preferences. The
setting 'location-entry-search' remains functional however.
Loading history items used to involve frequent calls to
localtime() and g_memdup(). We avoid this by storing the
date strings in parent items now, which can even be used to
display items in the treeview.
Deleting of treeview items was also reworked so it should
work from menu items and the panel.
KatzeNet can from now on be used where
URIs are handled and one would have used
libSoup and/ or local file handling as
appropriate, whereas KatzeNet does both.
Since we are displaying icons in several
places KatzeNet also provides an icon
loader that saves us from doublicating
even more code.
All bookmarks and also history items have
icons now, since KatzeNet makes that
incredibly easy.
Search engines are also using favicons
now, and right now custom icons don't
work, we still need to fix that.
Note that only icons are cached, nothing
else and the code is known to have a
hidden, hard to reproduce crasher which
may appear when an icon is newly loaded.
Property name localization is only useful if the
strings are meant to be used in a user interface,
such as is the case with WebSettings, or for
graphical interface builders, which are not of
our concern, since we don't use Glade and friends
and nobody else is going to use our widgets.
In short, make translation work much easier.
