Bug fixes and better compatibility

Workaround for invalid http response headers sent from some of the Akamai servers which Apple uses for their site. This made the Apple site hang for some requests. Reported by Daniel Greve Rose et.al.

Opening the System Preferences Panel is now faster when you have filters with a huge number of rules.

Accept "200 OK" in addition to "204 No content" and "201 Created" when publishing an filter using WebDav. Reported by Cornelius Wilkening.

Does't add the keyword filter by default as Safari 5 doesn't work well with keywords due to address-bar history search.

"application/javascript" is added to the mime-types which is considered javascripts (had application/x-javascript and text/javascript and text/ecmascript)

www.apple.com would sometimes hang because at least one (but far from all) of Akamai's servers sends invalid http headers, and GlimmerBlocker would only use the part of the headers until the first illegal end-of-line marker. GlimmerBlocker can now handle such illegal end-of-line markers. Reported by Daniel Greve Rose.

For filter authors: Add "application/javascript" to the mime-types which is considered javascripts.
