Public bug reported:

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.

Test Case
---------
Browse to some websites.

Do a Google search to make sure that text entry works.

To test one fix from this update, visit https://www.terveystalo.com/ and
click English. With 3.22.6, epiphany crashes. It shouldn't crash after
the update.

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.
