Red Hat 9.0.93 Release Notes show that galeon is being replaced by epiphany because Galeon 1.2.<x> series no longer maintained. Since Galeon 1.3.6 was just released, I'm curious why this wasn't included.

From the email announcement:

As usual, tarballs now, binaries later.

1.3.6 "3,735,928,559"

Shiny new galeon release, largely provoked by the release of mozilla 1.4
final, although strangely enough, 1.3.5 is source compatible with 1.4;
the first time that's ever happened since before mozilla 1.0.

As such, you won't see anything spectacularly big in this release; we've
had a lot of bugs fixed with very much appreciated help from Chris Lahey
at Ximian and Crispin Flowerday, and there are some subtle improvements.

- Works with Mozilla 1.3.x, 1.4, 1.5a, and trunk
- Translation sanity.
If you have the appropriate langpack for your locale for mozilla
installed, galeon will switch to it on start up.
- Try and switch to classic theme on start up to get native scrollbars
- Ctrl-Enter in location entry and auto-complete dropdown opens in new
tab/window
- Ctrl-Enter and middle-click opens smartbookmark in new tab
- Toolbar button to toggle fullscreen mode
- Clear History actually works now
- Popup page context menu with Shift-F10
- Unblock an image from its context menu
- Some other bugfixes
- Misc optimisations
