Hi, OK, rc1 for dillo-2.2.1 is here: http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-2.2.1-rc1.tar.bz2 Please download, build, test and report how it works in your OS. If we're lucky it will become dillo-2.2.1. TIA -- Cheers Jorge.-

I would simply give a known good revision of fltk2. Nevertheless we should let the fltk guys know about the incompatible changes. Cheers, Johannes

Hi there, Please report your OS/platform for dillo3 if not already listed in the compatibility page. TIA. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Hi, OK, does anybody see anything pending before packing dillo-2.2.1-rc1? (Yes, there're some web site updates pending, I mean just inside the tarball). -- Cheers Jorge.-

I think most projects automatically use the system library if present, and fall back on the included one otherwise. We might take that a step further: use the system library if it's present and a sane version, otherwise fall back on our own. I forgot to mention, I'm running r7725 with a couple of my own patches on Windows (and have been for some time now), without problems. I could probably put together an updated FLTK "release" for the tarball, using that + working file dialogs from an older revision, if anyone's interested. ~Benjamin

I can't argue this one. FLTK has made their bed on this. :-/ >If the distributions wish to change things, that's their prerogative; I >mean, Debian's constitutionally incapable of leaving upstream code >unmolested, and I'm sure anyone else who maintains an ebuild/RPM/BSD port >can figure out how to patch it back to do things their own way.

I was thinking of providing a --use-static-fltk configure option or something. This way, when things do get stable, a distro can chose to build with external libs. >~Benjamin

I also added a download link since older fltk-2.0 revisions are no longer available from fltk.org. BTW, the recipe to build dillo in our web site was also updated: http://www.dillo.org/source.html -- Cheers Jorge.-
