I couldn't get 0.6.6 nor the CVS version of a couple of days ago to compile using tcc under GNU/Linux. http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/ I can post more details if required, but tcc is easy enough to install that it's probably easier for people to experiment with it themselves.

Release candidate 1

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! Finally, after a lot of work, the first release candidate tarball for dillo-0.7.0 is ready. The idea is to test this tarball and if it has no problems, the 0.7.0 release will be made of it (with only minor or cosmetical changes). Once again, I'm specially interested on non GNU/Linux platforms testing (bacause I already tested GNU/Linux). ------------------- Summary of changes: + Included the bookmarks server code inside the main tree (no separate tarball now, it all builds at once) + Added a workaround for nanosleep on Solaris in configure.in + Added a new icon for bookmarks and set ALT+B or ; as shortcuts. (there's also the option of hiding the icon from dillorc). + Made a new splash screen (contents and design). + Made a custom D_SUN_LEN definition to avoid inconsistencies with SUN_LEN, also switched memory clearing to sizeof and defined AF_LOCAL when not present. + Made ~/.dillorc/ have precedence over PATH when searching for plugins. + Added a SIGCHLD handler to avoid zombies when the dpi server is killed manually before dillo exits. + Bound find text to /. Now it works with CTRL+F or / + Added an icon for bookmarks. + Image tooltip now works with "title" instead of "alt". (had mistankenly switched to "text" before...) bm_srv12: + Made the convertion (import) from the old bookmarks format automatic. + Made it work when there's no bm.txt file present, and also when there's a zero sized bm.txt. + Fixed some Solaris compatibility glitches. + Fixed SUN_LEN issues. ------------------- The test emphasis should be on the new features. Please remember first to remove the bookmarks server binary from your ~/.dillo/ directory and killing the server if running, before testing. Now, a simple: ./configure make make install-strip should build and install everything right (it works here!) The plan is to make the official release this Sunday or early on Monday. Please send your feedback to this list. I'll be updating the site in the meanwhile, so please focus on the tarball. Last but not the least, the splash screen includes a link to the text version of an interview I gave to tux.cl magazine. The original is in spanish so I made a quick translation to english so everyone can read it. If you are knowledgeable in english grammar please read/correct it and send me the diffs. That'd be, as always, highly appreciated. Thanks a lot and I'll be expecting your feedback! Jorge.- PS: For those that read this far, here's the tarball: http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/dillo-0.7.0-rc1.tar.gz :-)

Well, if I do the above, I get: $ > cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo cvs checkout: could not open /ext/number/leske/.cvspass: No such file or directory cvs [checkout aborted]: use "cvs login" to log in first $ > cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo login (Logging in to anonymous(a)cvs.auriga.wearlab.de) CVS password: $ > cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo cvs server: Updating dillo U dillo/AUTHORS U dillo/COPYING U dillo/ChangeLog U dillo/ChangeLog.old So I do need to login first. That's with CVS version 1.10.7 , on SuSE7.0 . On a different system, the "checkout without login" works, that's with CVS version 1.11.1p1 . Maybe the "checkout without login" only works in later releases of CVS? (I didn't find anything in the NEWS file, though)

For the project website (http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/) you're probably right here, for the auriga site (where the instructions were copied from, http://auriga.wearlab.de/cvs/?group_id=18) it would be something like admin(a)auriga.wearlab.de (which would be me). > I like the idea of providing some information on how to checkout the CVS > version of dillo, so people without CVS experience can try it out. > > However, the information about CVS given on > http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/cvs.html > is incomplete.

A new directory will > be created with the current CVS version of dillo. Auriga is not sourceforge. when setting up our cvs repositories, we found that it is possible to have anoncvs WITHOUT login, and it seemed a very good idea to use that, because the additional login step only confuses users. just as the dillo homepage says, you 'Just:' just to show that the password was not read from there: user@host[/tmp]$ mv ~/.cvspass ~/.cvspass_bak user@host[/tmp]$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo cvs checkout: failed to open /home/user/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory cvs server: Updating dillo U dillo/AUTHORS U dillo/COPYING without login. are you SURE you need login for it to work? we haven't heard of any problems with this before. > Greetings and keep up the good work on Dillo! > S.Leske Greetings, Thorben Thuermer (r00t(a)wearlab.de)

Website improvement / CVS page

by Sebastian Leske

Hi, as I could not find some webmaster contact address at the website at http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/ , I'm posting to this list. I like the idea of providing some information on how to checkout the CVS version of dillo, so people without CVS experience can try it out. However, the information about CVS given on http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/cvs.html is incomplete. The page give the command to to a checkout, but it neglects to mention that you first have to do a login with an empty password. I'd propose you change the page to read: Check out from our server at wearLab! Just run these two commands: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo When prompted for a password, just press Return. A new directory will be created with the current CVS version of dillo. Greetings and keep up the good work on Dillo! S.Leske PS: Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed.

Be sure that you use the new CVS server (at auriga.wearlab.de), the one at CIPSGA is not used anymore. See <http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/cvs.html> for more info. Sebastian

As far as I have understood, this option is useful when dillo is called from a mail user agent (at least I use it this way). So, since MUA's do not send HTTP headers (and SpamSafe is not applied to further requests by intend), this is indeed not an important issue. > I do not consider this a serious issue, but for consistency I would have > expected Dillo to show me the redirection error page with the target URL. The > target URL being clickable and also retaining the SpamSafe mode. As said, this > is not a high priority issue, it is rather a consistency issue. Since HTTP redirects may also applied on content types other than HTML, it would have to be handles in another way (e.g. by a message window, or an other additional GUI element within the browser window). Actually, HTTP redirects are the task of the cache, which should not care about the content (and type), and so may not create the appropriate HTML. (META-reqresh is handled by the HTML parser.)
