[Conkeror] Development now occurring in the master branch of the git repository

[Jeremy Maitin-Shepard]

Conkeror development is now occurring in the master branch of the git
repository, rather than the experimental-buffers branch, as
experimental-buffers is no longer (and has not been for some time) a
very appropriate name.  (The branch was originally named as such because
it began with a re-write of the buffer-related infrastructure.)

If you were previously using experimental-buffers and would like to
switch to tracking the master branch, and you do not know how to do
this, you can follow these instructions.  These instructions assume you
have not made any local commits or changes:

git fetch
git checkout master
git merge origin

If you do not have an existing checkout, you can simply following the
installation instructions on the website http://conkeror.mozdev.org to
try out this branch.

In case you haven't noticed yet, some recent new features include:

- Completion of URLs from history, if you set (e.g. in your rc file, or
  at the M-: javascript prompt) url_completion_use_history to true (set
  to false by default).  Thanks go to Eli Naeher for initial support for
  this.

- Bookmarks: use the M-x bookmark command (bound to k by default) to
  bookmark a page; it uses the hints system, defaulting to the frames
  object class (and therefore won't prompt you at all if there are not
  multiple frames) to select the element to bookmark.  Set
  url_completion_use_bookmarks to true (set to true by default) to then
  complete URLs from bookmarks (currently the only way to access
  bookmarks).  Note that due to some feature in the history system,
  bookmarked chrome URLs will not show up in URL completion (this isn't
  likely to be relevant to any normal use, but may be noticed when
  testing the feature).

- A Firefox-style tab bar (use M-x tab-bar-mode or tab_bar_mode(false)
  in your rc) complete with site icons.

- Completion of JavaScript expressions typed into the M-: prompt.

- Basic (but sufficient) support for adding SSL certificate exceptions
  and opening the SSL certificate manager.  Use M-x ssl-add-exception to
  add an exception and use M-x ssl-certificate-manager to open the
  certificate manager dialog.

I am currently working on a proper download manager.  If you have other
feature suggestions that you have not already told me about, please feel
free to do so, either using this mailing list, or on the IRC channel.
