Highlights of the WebKitGTK+ 2.12.0 release
===========================================

  - Enable FTL by default in JavaScriptCore for x86_64.
  - Network process is now used unconditionally. The shared secondary process model is now
    the same as using the multiple process model and setting a process limit of 1.
  - Switch to use overlay scrollbars like all other GTK+ widgets and ensure the behavior
    is consistent with GTK+ too.
  - Support for windowless NPAPI plugins with no UI in non X11 platforms.
  - Enable GSS-Negotiate support when available in libsoup.
  - Improved general performance by better handling glib main loop sources.
  - New API to save and restore a WebView session.
