WebKitGTK+ hackfest days 3 & 4
Welcome to the third report right from the WebKitGTK+ hackfest!
A nice walk along the windy coastline of A Coruña blew some fresh air into the heads of the hackers gathered here. Behdad made a photo of the group next to the Torre de Hercules:

Notable hackfest results since the last blogpost include:
- Diego fixed opening the user manual from Epiphany, even though he isn’t physically present at the hackfest
- Benjamin has been busy fixing crashes
- Christian worked on the context menu in text areas, and spell checking
- Alejandro worked on middle button paste within the same page
- Philippe merged the HTML5 video controls
- Xan added support for customizing the User Agent string
- Yours truly compiled a list of regressions from Epiphany/Gecko and triaged loads of bugs

Reinout forgot to explain that the reason we’re standing against the wall is that it was the only place without hurricane-force winds, and the reason we’re off-center in the picture is because the wind was slowly pushing Behdad’s camera off the ledge it was sitting on.

Hi Reinout, this is all great news: are there any branches (for webkitgtk+ and epiphany) one can try out with all the hackfest results anywhere?

@Danilo, a lot of hackfest results have been committed to master already. The ones that aren’t are probably living in Webkit bugzilla; I don’t know if there are any specific branches but you could always ask on the epiphany-list.

Cool, thanks, I’ve built it locally and will be playing with it soon.
