This is a bug fix release in the stable 2.6 series.

IMPORTANT: This release changes the default policy for TLS errors, so
that they are no longer ignored unless WEBKIT_TLS_ERRORS_POLICY_IGNORE
policy is explicitly set with
webkit_web_context_set_tls_errors_policy().


What's new in the WebKitGTK+ 2.6.2 release?
===========================================

  - SSLv3 is now disabled to protect us against POODLE vulnerability.
  - TLS errors are no longer ignored by default.
  - Fix the remote web inspector.
  - Fix rendering of buttons, selections and lists with recent GTK+
    versions.
  - Improve performance of timers scheduled after a delay in
    microseconds.
  - Fix WebKitSettings:enable-smooth-scrolling to actually enable
    smooth scrolling.
  - Fix the build with drag and drop support disabled.

APIs, it is suitable for projects requiring any kind of web
integration, from hybrid HTML/CSS applications to full-fledged web
browsers.
