Brian and Brad are happy to announce Really Simple History 0.6. This release represents many enhancements over 0.4 and many bug-fixes over 0.6 beta. The final, stable version of 0.6 was released on 12.03.2007. For people who downloaded 0.6RC1, the only changes were the inclusion of a minified version of rsh.js and more complete release notes. All other users should upgrade ASAP. Where to get itFor latest stable, packaged-up ZIP files, go to the downloads tab For up-to-the-minute revisions, visit the SVN repo. However, do not use the SVN repo for production code. SVN code is by its nature unstable; the only versions recommended for application development are the packaged-up releases on the downloads tab. How to use itFor basic installation notes, visit the Usage Instructions page. For step-by-step instructions, visit the Usage Examples page. Changelog0.6 Final- Added more complete release notes to the README file.
- Added a minified version of rsh.js using Dojo ShrinkSafe.
0.6 RC 1- Added rock-solid support of Opera up to 9.5 beta for Mac and PC.
- Added rock-solid support of Safari/Mac from 2.03 through 3.03.
- Changed window.onunload event to a modern listener using addEventListener/attachEvent.
- Performed tons of internal refactoring.
- Moved to two-line initialization of dhtmlHistory and historyStorage (as opposed to the previous two init calls in the library and two more in your code).
- Added support for an optional options bundle in the initialization call to trigger debug mode or override default JSON methods.
- Provided better ompatibility with Prototype.js thanks to the aforementioned JSON override capability.
- Added additional choice in JSON parsers; we now ship with a default 2007 JSON parser that alters core object prototypes and an older 2005 version that doesn't.
- Provided better user-agent sniffing that's more resistant to UA spoofing.
- Removed a bug introduced in 0.6 beta that threw an error when you hit a virgin (hashless) page state.
- Added graceful swallowing of errors in non-debug mode.
- Replaced equality operators with JSLint-friendly identity operators where appropriate.
- Cleaned up a little cruft from the 0.4 and 0.6 beta versions.
0.6 Beta- Added support for IE7
- Added support for Opera/Mac and Opera/Win (though some bugs remain)
- Added support for Safari 2/Mac (though some bugs remain)
- Modernized the JSON parser and moved it to a separate file
- Provided bridge methods for JSON calls to make it easier to swap out JSON parsers
- Rebuilt original test pages into a single test page that allows you to peek behind the scenes at hidden, hacked-in DOM elements
- Refactored many private and public methods for better support of more browsers
- Changed name of private historyStorage.init method to historyStorage.setup to avoid confucion with dhtmlHistory.initialize
- Removed unused isInternational() method
- Removed blocks of deprecated, commented-out code

It appears to work with Opera 9.27 and Epiphany 2.22.1.1 on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) also tested on Firefox 3b5 and works with no problems. After a few more test the compatibility list could be updated. Great job on this i was struggling for ages to make something like this work! Richard
