[Dillo-dev]Dillo is five years old!

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there, It's our project's birthday number 5! What else can I say? Ah, yes, I just set a link and a page that talks about it. :-) Developers will certainly find very encouraging words and some soul comfort by reading the email compilation link. Go to the home page, and it'll be clear where to follow! -- Cheers, Cheers, Cheers, Cheers, Cheers! Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]BUG#340 reproducible?

by Matthias Franz

Hi everybody, I've had a look at BUG#340, but I cannot reproduce it. Can anyone else? If not, one could delete it from the bug list. 340 Impact: soft error At: run time Type: misbehaviour Comments: Dillo doesn't keep www.yahoo.com in the history when going to the "advanced search" link. HTReproduce: Open a new copy of dillo. Go to www.yahoo.com. Click "advanced search". Wait for the page to load, and click the back button. Instead of going to www.yahoo.com, dillo will go to the dillo splash screen. WorkedBy: nobody All the best, -- Matthias Franz Section de Mathématiques, Université de Genève, Suisse

[Dillo-dev]new file server dpi in CVS.

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi Dieter, I just finished the first prototype for the two-threads-only file server dpi. I've had this in mind for sometime because the old one, despite solving a deadlock race, used too much threads when the page requested too much different files (one per file). This can cause some problems on restricted environments as PDAs or uclibc for instance. I hope this solves the issues you told me on your LP64 machine. Ah, the CVS also has a lot more fixes of -Wconversion warnings. Urbi et orbi: please test these new dpis because the current CVS is very close to becoming dillo 0.8.4! How: dpidc stop make make install-strip (this avoids the upgrading problems with running dpis/dpid). ============ Have great hollydays and enjoy as much as you can! -- Cheers Jorge.- PS: Dieter: are you subscribed to dillo-dev?

Agreed. > Does anyone know better about umask's effects in depth? W. Richard Stevens, for one, so I followed up every reference to umask() in "Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment". The only effect mentioned is that it modifies the file permissions mask passed to open() or creat(). The book also recommends umask(0) for daemons, but since we don't want to allow other processes to see dillo's internals I would still say umask(0077) is right for dpid. Cheers, Jeremy

[Dillo-dev]website: task list and more.

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi Jörgen, Sometime ago we considered with Sebastian moving the "Current Plans" section of the home page into its own page (with a link in the left column). Please build this page with the info in: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2004-November/002414.html Note that the first two tasks are already done and commited to CVS (To be marked as [D]. i.e., done). Ah, it'd be also good to have the information posted by Livio referenced somewhere where you see it fits. This is: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2004-December/002474.html Last but not the least: Please add Matthias Franz to the contributors section in the authors page. TIA. -- Cheers Jorge.-
