version tests on automake and autoconf
by robert w hall Nov. 2, 2003

Nov. 2, 2003

I believe Dillo 7.2 tests for v1.7 of autoconf and, if configure.in is patched, for 1.7 of automake. A couple of us are interested in porting uptodate ssl-enabled versions of dillo to the playstation2, where the base distro is rather ancient (Redhat 5 -era :-)) Dillo 7.1.2 with Andreas' ssl-patch compiled fine, but didn't require these recent versions of automake & autoconf. Are these recent versions _in fact_ required or can the tests for them be safely disabled? Bob -- robert w hall

Workaround for bugs 396 & 445 (entities display)
by Nikita V. Borodikhin June 9, 2003

June 9, 2003

Hello, all Dillo developers ! As mentioned in HTML 4.01 spec what should be done when html renderer cannot display a symbol is up to renderer. Current code renders all characters with code 0..255 but skip all the others silently. I prefer lynx/links approach to this problem. If they should display symbol which cannot be displayed properly in current locale they render ascii-only representation of this symbol, e.g. "α" -> "a", "Χ" -> "X", "&lowast;" -> "*". Included small patch does that for all entities mentioned in html.c and this table is much more compact than links' one and does not allow transliteration of foreign language as links does. I believe that this patch is a temporary solution for this problem and when dillo migrates on GTK2 and this problem will be solved mush more reliable and elegant way by using standard symbol fonts via fontsets. I should mention also that if your encodings is not ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) then you should probably use Russian patch http://stuphead.asplinux.ru/dillo/index.html for localization. It shall be updated soon to translate entities to your encoding and show representations for others. Yours, Nikita

Hi there, I've been using John Grantham's icons for a while, and wonder whether to make them the default. So this poll is open! (but closed to dillo-dev) Cheers Jorge.-

I just got a Zaurus SL-5500 and was wondering if anyone has built Dillo for that. I'm running Open Zaurus 3.2. Where would I begin? Sorry for such a newb question! Todd

Kosta, > Hi Jorge, Hi! > I apologize to send you an email( you probably very > busy). Thanks. Please use the mailing list for consecutive emails, that way other developers could also respond and help. > I try to do an animated GIF in dillo and I could not > make it. I couldn't draw the consecutive frames and to > show them with gtk+ functions( I'm not familiar with > gtk+). Go to our [links] section and download the GTK+ docs. That will help a lot. > I will appreciate if you give me a clue or tell me is > that implemented in some dillo version( I'm using > 0.7.1). OK. Don't use 0.7.1, get 0.7.2. No, we haven't implemented animated GIFS. I think gtk's timeout functions are a good choice for triggering the frame display change. I'd start there. Note that some of us are *very* happy without animated gifs, so a dillorc option to disable animation is a must! Cheers Jorge.-

by Melvin Hadasht May 30, 2003

May 30, 2003

Hi, I want just to announce that Sylpheed-Claws (email client), as of the released version 0.9.0claws, officially supports Dillo as its embedded HTML mail viewer, in the form of a loadable plugin. I would like to thank Jorge for integrating and improving the necessary patches. I would also like to thank him and all other contributors to Dillo for their work and for providing such a fast/small/useable/useful browser. Keep on the good work! Best regards. -- Melvin Hadasht

Stefan, > Hi! Hi. > First of all: Thanks! Thanks for giving me Dillo! You're welcome. > I've got two questions: > > 1. In the dpi text a hello_world plugin is mentioned. Where can I find it? Hold on a bit, we're working with Ferdi on a new plugin manager that will ease a lot the making of new plugins. (if you can't hold your breath, drop me a note and I'll send it to you). > 2. I'd like to see some things in future releases. Where can I post suggestions? You said 'dont brainstorm to the mailing list'. First, think a lot of suggestions before posting them. That's the idea. We have little manpower and a lot to do, so we focus on the most important issues only. > What I'd like to see: Incremental full text search like in the latest Mozilla version. Just typing in the main window starts a search over the whole displayed Page. Prefix letters (configurable!) restrict search, e.g. > > '/' -> search only within link text > '\' -> search only within link target > ':' -> search only within plain text > '#' -> search only within current frame > '*' -> use regexp search (okay, this one's really advanced) > > ESC -> stops old search, starts new > TAB -> jump to next match > > So, '#\foo.com<TAB>' would find the second occurence of a link in the current frame which is coded as <a herf='www.foo.com/list.html'>link</a> I wouldn't go for something so specific at this time, but if you like, you can start studying the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm in findtext.c, and evaluate from there.

XFT Patch
by Nicola Girardi May 30, 2003

May 30, 2003

I updated my patch (which was derived from another patch I don't remember from who) for current CVS, and added an autoconf check to add the necessary compiler and linker flags automatically. I hope it's useful for someone, and I hope that it actually creeps in. Such a small effort for such a nice feature. :-) Attached (it's small)!

<form> parsing

If you visit http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?zip=13676&dist=100&submit1…, you'll find that the download form is missing. Under [details] there should be a checkbox and the label "download". There should be a submit image before the line that says "Travel Bug". This is present in 0.7.2. Interestingly, if I save the HTML from inside Galeon, and load it in Dillo, the form is present. -- --My blog is at angry-economist.russnelson.com | "I have officially heard Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | every excuse for being 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | assigned a single room at Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | FGC." --Liz Perch
