Update Information:
WebKitGTK+ 1.1.8 contains many bug-fixes and updates including spell-checking
support, enhanced error reporting, lots of ATK enhancements, support for copying
images to the clipboard, and a new printing API (since 1.1.5) that allows
applications better control and monitoring of the printing process. Also, a
potential buffer overflow in SVGList::insertItemBefore has been fixed
(CVE-2009-0945); and the JIT compiler is now enabled by default for x86_64
systems. Please see the upstream changelog for the full list of fixes and
