[patch]: use the dlib dStr* functions everywhere
by onepoint＠starurchin.org 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

This is a small consistency cleanup. Most of the Dillo source uses dlib's dStr* functions for string operations. This patch fixes the few places that do not. Jeremy Henty

Best wishes for 2009!

Hi there, Please receive my best wishes for this new year 2009! We've come a long way since dillo restarted, and progress in several fronts has improved the browser a lot. Thanks to you all for the good work!!! > Amyway, it looks like 2009 will be an exciting year for Dillo. In the hope of it coming true, I just sent Johannes an image handling patch series for CSS to work properly with stylesheet loading. Just wait for his signal after he commits to download and enjoy the new code. Note: I'm still working on it, but it's quite usable "as is". -- Cheers Jorge.- ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

[patch]: fix dialog callback
by onepoint＠starurchin.org 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Dialog_user_password_cb() should not use VOIDP2INT, because the (void *) argument was originally an (int *), not an int or long. This bug makes the dialog always call its callback even when the user presses the Cancel button. As a result it is futile to cancel the Basic Authentication dialog: the page reloads and the dialog pops up again. Patch attached. Jeremy Henty

This patch implements a previous suggestion to break up Auth_parse_auth_basic() into smaller functions and eliminate gotos. Please comment. Jeremy Henty

We have competition!

Linux Weekly News covers Hv3, a Tcl-based lightweight browser. http://lwn.net/Articles/311823/ They refer to Dillo as "perhaps the best known minimalist browser"! It's worth reading the comments to see what people want to see in a lightweight browser and what they don't miss if it's not there. They certainly appreciate the speed. Hv3 claims to support CSS, but I'm not seeing it: Slashdot and the BBC look almost exactly the same as they do in Dillo. Mind you, I'm running it from the latest CVS and getting plagued with Tcl errors too, so maybe it's just temporarily broken. Hv3 is also supposed to support Javascript through SEE, but the SEE site is not responding right now so I can't try it out (and comments suggest that getting it into a source build is broken). Maybe SEE would be a way to support JavaScript in Dillo? Amyway, it looks like 2009 will be an exciting year for Dillo. Jeremy
