[webkit-gtk] WebKitGTK+ 2.4.0 released!

Is there a document/blog entry that describes the multiple web processes 
in greater detail. I am especially curious about the part about 
configuring multiple web process for setting cache directory/cookies etc.

Can each process have its cache directory? If not, how do we manage 
multiple processes not stepping on each other's shoes unless all network 
calls are channelled through network process somehow.


Regards,

Niranjan
