[[PageOutline]] = Preparing for 1.8.0 = WebkitGtk+ '''1.7.90''' will be the next release in the stable series. We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc. When filing bugs (http://bugs.webkit.org) against stable release, please prefix them with "[GTK] [Stable]" to ensure they are addressed with high priority. Also, running a debug build and including stack traces is highly encouraged. To get the stable branch code, simply check out http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-1.8 Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the branch, so be sure to stay up to date.
