Now 100% Less Weaselly

The big news is that this project is now the Iceraven Browser, winner of the emoji name poll (#111, #110, #121, #126, #36). Thanks to everyone who suggested names, voted, and helped with the rebranding! We have a temporary programmer-art icon that's just itching to be replaced! View some inspirational images and submit your icon today!

Programmer-Art Icon

As part of this, we have a new Application ID: io.github.forkmaintainers.iceraven. As far as Android knows, this is an entirely different app than the last release. There's nothing that attempts to migrate your tabs or settings. Install the new Iceraven and either use a Firefox Account or manually sync over what needs to be moved from the old Iceweasel, then uninstall the old app.

This release still signed with the debug keys.
