Release Notes for Bedrock Browser Alpha 1


Updated: 17-Dec-2009

NOTE: These release notes were current as of the time the software was packaged for release. For up-to-date release notes, visit the Browser Team's Wiki pages.

Overview of the Release:

The Bedrock Browser is Nokia's latest web browser based on the latest open-source WebKit engine and built using the Qt application framework.

The Bedrock project's mission is to provide a fast, easy to use, web-standards based browser that can compete alongside the best of the mobile browsers.

In addition to providing basic browser functionality, Bedrock allows for almost infinite extensiblity by utilizing an HTML/CSS/JavaScript UI framework we call "Ginebra".

All of the UI components you see in the Bedrock Browser are rendered using Ginebra and can be modified as easily as one can modify a web page.

This release of Bedrock is the Alpha 1 release. It has VERY limited functionality and less-than-acceptable performance at this time but is built upon the extensible framework that will allow the Browser team to add new functionality quickly and with minimal native code changes
