Release notes for 4.0.6rc1:

- Fixed compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10.1
     - OmniWeb crashes on quit (unless you reset your PRAM)
     - Source code editing doesn't work
     - OmniWeb sometimes crashes when closing windows
     - Font metrics aren't correctly processed for some fonts (notably
       Japanese fonts)
     - Images are scaled based on source DPI, rather than being
       displayed at pixel size
- Other fixes
     - Security fix: OmniWeb auto-opens downloaded files, which can be a
       security hazard (for example, this means that .jar files get run
       automatically in 10.1)
         - Implemented a new default,
           OHDownloaderLaunchableApplications, which defines the set of
           applications which we're willing to automatically launch to
           present a downloaded file.  By default the set is empty, so
           we do nothing when the download completes.
     - When OmniWeb fails to parse some CSS, it doesn't render the page
       at all
     - OmniWeb can't be launched from a folder with a slash in it
         - Switched to using @executable_path to reference internal
           frameworks rather than defining a framework search path
     - When Flash would try to read a file, we'd mistakenly treat that
       as a request to display the file (replacing the current page),
       causing problems at pages like www.espn.com
