Changes (by godiard):

  * next_action:  diagnose => add to release


Comment:

 I found the following problems:

 * The documents were reloaded many times when not needed, because of
 comparing a filename with a URI.

 * Every time the file was loaded was copied from a xml file to a xhtml
 file, was replaced by doing a symlink.

 * In many scrollbar movements, change-page signals were emited when not
 needed, then the activity looked for bookmarks and highlights and do other
 unneded work.

 * Race conditions loading documents.

 These problems were solved in the gtk3 branch, and the needed changes were
 backported to the gtk2 branch. A activity ready to test is here
