2004-02-08 Branch builds

  • Fixed on trunk and branch: 233391 - apply charset name canonicalization (bug 224748) to toolkit
  • Fixed on branch: 233149 - download manage window blinks non-stop if new download is added while not in focus. (Fixed by disabling the blinking completely for now.)
  • Continued regression: 233287 - Software License Agreement appears without line breaks
  • Continued regression: 206029 - Installing Flash screws stuff up (forum thread).
  • Continued regression: 229600 - Installing 2 extensions without restarting re-launches extension-installer for previous installed extensions.

Ben Goodger plans to fix the license bug at the last minute, at the same time he changes the version number to 0.8 on the branch. Hopefully his fix will also fix the Flash installation bug (both problems involve line breaks).
