This is the first development release leading toward 2.8 series.

What's new in the WebKitGTK+ 2.7.1 release?
===========================================

  - Add initial gestures support. For now only drag, zoom and tap
    gestures are supported, but it's enough to make WebKitGTK+ usable
    in touch screens. It requires GTK+ 3.14.
  - Add webkit_hit_test_result_context_is_selection().
  - The Web Inspector now uses a separate Web Process.
  - Add implementation of subtle crypto HMAC and digest algorithms.

What is WebKitGTK+?
===================

WebKitGTK+ is the GNOME platform port of the WebKit rendering engine.
Offering WebKit's full functionality through a set of GObject-based
APIs, it is suitable for projects requiring any kind of web
integration, from hybrid HTML/CSS applications to full-fledged web
browsers.
