Bug Description
Impact
------
Another bugfix release in the stable 3.22 series. It fixes a crash, some issues with the snapshot service (takes a mini screenshot of the page for the New Tab page), and some issues with recording browser history.

Regression Potential
-------
Low.
The 3.18.10 update introduced a regression where it was impossible to enter text on websites. 3.18 releases are basically only done now for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS's benefit so those get less testing.
To mitigate that regression potential, I have subscribed to epiphany-browser bugs in Launchpad to know about possible regressions sooner. I now specifically test for entering text on websites.
This update is for 3.22 though which is still in use by many distros, such as Debian stretch and the latest Fedora. So it's less likely than 3.18 to have that kind of major regression.
Ubuntu 17.04 already has epiphany 3.24.0 which includes all the fixes in 3.22.7.
