perhaps an iterator bug
by corvid＠lavabit.com Sept. 3, 2009

Sept. 3, 2009

I was trying the new search functionality a bit more and found this (it's also present in my Dec 2008 dillo*). With the page: <table> <tr><td>no close-tr <tr><td>has a close-tr</tr> <tr><td>here's another line</tr> </table> if I search for "rh", it finds one instance of it split between the second and third table rows. * My older dillos were lost in a tragic "I don't think I need my CVS stuff anymore" accident.

[patch] Improving keyboard shortcuts for tab navigation
by tim.nieradzik＠gmx.de June 13, 2009

June 13, 2009

This patch adds keyboard shortcuts for the tabs 0 - 9. You can reach them by pressing Ctrl concurrently with the number number of the tab you would like to see. Thus, for the first tab this is Ctrl-0. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl-Home. To get to the last tab, simply press Ctrl-End. In addition the modifier for moving left and right between tabs has been changed from Shift to Ctrl because it makes sense to have an unified modifier for all tab movement operations. --Tim

experimental patch: Re: dillo2 wrapping Chinese
by corvid＠lavabit.com June 6, 2009

June 6, 2009

dillo people: It turns out that dillo handles Chinese quite badly because the text doesn't contain whitespace (BUG 827). It looks like Japanese is that way as well. 1) People using East Asian languages: Does this do roughly the right thing? I've read that there are picky rules about certain individual characters, but I just mean in general here. 2) Thoughts on optimization are welcomed. littlebat: For some reason, I was thinking that whitespace was required between words in dillo, but I misremembered. littlebat wrote: > Hi, > Thanks for the work on Dillo. > > I think it isn't a good idea to resolve long chinese line wrapping > problem by inserting space after punctuation mark("?" or "?" or "?", > etc..). > > Here is a "Dillo2 Wrap Long Chinese Line Test" page: > http://www.learndiary.com/en/dillo2-wrap-long-chinese-line-test.htm . > Open it with Firefox or IE, then open it with Dillo2, You will see the > different of wrapping long chinese line between them. > > Note, unlike english, there is no space between Chinese characters.

google login redirect
by furaisanjin＠gmail.com March 26, 2009

March 26, 2009

Hi all. I have noticed that google login redirect is something like this. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url='http://www.google.com/ .....> So generated redirect template looks like <table width='100%'><tr><td bgcolor='#ee0000'>Warning:</td> <td bgcolor='#8899aa' width='100%'> This page uses the NON-STANDARD meta refresh tag.<br> The HTML 4.01 SPEC (sec 7.4.4) recommends explicitly to avoid it.</td></tr> <tr><td bgcolor='#a0a0a0' colspan='2'>The author wanted you to go <a href=''http://www.google.com/ ... So dillo just navigates to the same page. This is the reason why we can't login. Regards, furaisanjin

Ohloh does not accept http://hg.dillo.org/dillo as Enlistment for the Dillo browser.

Hi. Thanks for working on Dillo. I tried to update the Dillo Project Page on Ohloh, but the the repository failed on the id command. ...$hd id http://hg.dillo.org/dillo abort: cannot look up remote revision; remote repository does not support the 'lookup' capability! Which Mercurial version is used to serve dillo? -- By by ... Detlef

My valgrind logs, for all to see.
by onepoint＠starurchin.org March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

For your information. http://starurchin.org/dillo/valgrind.html It lists the valgrind errors from my most recent Dillo sessions. It's just one big static HTML page at the moment. Feel free to suggest how it could be more useful. You can see we're still getting lots of small leaks from the CSS parser, though the big ones have been fixed by recent commits.

Holiday week
by jcid＠dillo.org March 11, 2009

March 11, 2009

Hi there, I happen to be enjoying a much needed holiday week! :-) The plan is to come back around near wednesday 25. In the meanwhile, I leave you with the following issues lurking in my list to be considered. Maybe all of them can be left to the release after 2.1, but maybe not: [ ] https dialog bombing issue. BUG#868 When enabled, multiple https requests to the same site result in dialog bombing. The https dpi is disabled by default in Dillo. Anyway, in Debian, there's a security warning against dillo for not checking certificates (I don't know what version of dillo they use, nor why they enable https.) [ ] Jump to #anchor doesn't work correctly. The idle timeout doesn't work reliably (an old bug). [ ] Implement @import statement in STYLE element. [ ] What will we do with xhtml? FF doesn't validate. BUG#732 This would be interesting to define. (already suggested as discussion material in another thread). [ ] "-fno-rtti -fno-exceptions" gcc: 64KB less. Enabling this switches reduces the binary size. [ ] dpi for "view page source" (it re-uses search capability). Waiting since a long time... [-] BUG#892 prefs bg_color is not working Johannes was working on related things... [ ] META refresh: "instant client-side redirect". [ ] META refresh: URL='<URI>' case. I plan to implement both when I'm back (and to include them in dillo-2.1). BTW, I want to welcome Tim Nieradzik as a new developer and to tell Joao that the bug in the find-text iterator is not that much important. Just focus on something more urgent. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Attached is a minimal standalone example based on the "Lexical scanner" from the appendix of the CSS 2.1 spec. To compile it use: flex cssscanner.l gcc -o cssscanner lex.yy.c -lfl It reads from stdin. Cheers, Johannes

patches, bundles, etc
by dillo-dev＠toykeeper.net March 2, 2009

March 2, 2009

BTW, what's the policy on submitting sizable changes with multiple revisions, such as the configurable keybindings? Is it okay to send a changeset bundle, or do the changes need to be flattened into a single patch? It probably doesn't matter for small changes, but it might be nice to include the history for large changes. -- Scott

[patch]: remove the workaround for FLTK bug #2084.
by onepoint＠starurchin.org March 2, 2009

March 2, 2009

The dillo source includes a workaround for FLTK bug #2084[1] which was fixed in revision 6507. We currently recommend[2] revision 6525 or later. There's no need to include this workaround any more, so let's remove it. Regards, Jeremy Henty [1] http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2084 [2] http://www.dillo.org/source.html
