patch: save bookmark segfault when dpis not found

by corvid＠lavabit.com

A new one seen in the bugtracker... a_Bookmarks_chat_add() sets URL to NULL, so it needs to be handled. Anyway, the reason this is interesting is that I had always figured the URL_*() macros were protecting against a NULL URL, when really they protect against NULL fields in URLs.

It seems to work ok. I have also tried the patch which makes text wrapping work in textareas ( http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2009-April/006267.html ). The text does wrap but it doesn't automatically scroll down. Maybe the patch could be committed with some adjustments? -- Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. - A. Bierce

[PATCH] warning: ignoring return value of ‘int chdir(const char*)’

by newman.x＠gmail.com

gcc-4.4.0-4.i586 HG tip: newman src $ make | grep -i warning [...] paths.cc: In static member function ?static void Paths::init()?: paths.cc:38: warning: ignoring return value of ?int chdir(const char*)?, declared with attribute warn_unused_result With the patch dillo-guard-chdir.patch no warning. But this patch alone won't have any effect, all MSG(...) from Paths::init() won't write anything to output due to prefs.show_msg not being set to TRUE at that moment. Patch dillo-use-MSG-asap.patch moves a_Prefs_init() before Paths::init() is called. Hope it's not breaking anything. Tested - setting non-existing directory instead of /tmp - Dillo won't crash on start, basic browsing works -- Regards, Michal Nowak

patch: viewport keybindings

by corvid＠lavabit.com

Here is an idea for viewport keybindings. It just builds a SimpleVector once and lets all of the viewports point to it, which I think goes against the dillo/dw boundary rules, but we'll see how the general idea goes over...

Does anyone know what the contemporary way is to show the information in Plans.html? I remember ball.gif being ubiquitous in html in 1995 -- in stratigraphy it is regarded as a valuable 'index fossil', often found together with a variety of brightly-colored line.gifs and blink tags -- but I don't know what to do about it.

BTW, I am using > pretty new LCD display and still find it hard to read. OK, we also had readability concerns but we agreed that it was enough. OTOH some people bashed the old design as prehistoric! After all it's a matter of taste. Usability is a different thing. Maybe you need higher contrast to see clearly (I suffer with white backgrounds). Do you find this one better to read [1]? What do other people think about the new web design? Aesthetically and from a readability point of view. Please comment. [1] http://www.dillo.org/test/website/dillo2.2.html -- Cheers Jorge.-

You surely refer to the 1.3 series because FLTK2 is quite stalled. e.g. (nov 2008 version against current) diff -pru fltk-2.0.x-r6525 fltk-2.0.x-r6786|less /* Only whitespace and an email address change here! */ FLTK-1.3 is the active one (a fact recognized by Bill Spitzak). > > I understand that my proposal won't be popular but switching from > FLTK2 is necessary - we hardly have FLTK2 in distributions (read: no > Dillo-2 in distribution) and that's shortening our user base. I agree on the shortened user base, but the proposal to switch to FLTK-1.3 is the probable course of action. > How hard it would be to rewrite/port Dillo-2 to FLTK-1.3? > > (I see that the speed of v1.3 development is nothing exciting, but > from what I read months ago they at least plan to have a release > ever.) This branch has advanced a lot. It has less open bugs than FLTK-2.0 [1], an active set of developers, and they've devoted plenty of time to good documentation. > While looking at the devel cycle of Dillo - two releases per year - > I believe this porting should be mid-term goal. Unless we wanna > spend another year out of mainstream distributions. (And frankly: > even with Dillo-2 based on FLTK-1.3 we are quite far from Dillo-2 > in distribution...) Some months ago I had long emails with FLTK developers regarding this point. FLTK-1.3 may have a release in the middle of 2009 and they may even consider a compatibility layer for FLTK-2.0 apps (for them, it would be a most appealing assset to have FLTK-2.0 apps. compile with FLTK-1.3 painlessly). Now, given the effort estimation by corvid, I'd go with a native port as soon as FLTK-1.3 is released (unless the compatibility layer is there, or porting turns out to be a major endeavour). If they succeed in an official release, chances are we'll have FLTK-1.3 in distros when we finish our port. BTW, their advice is to wait for the first release and then decide what to do.

That way you can easily tell an in-memory link from one that's yet to be downloaded. This is very useful when switching from online to offline mode (e.g. dialup). IOW those links are rendered as visited because they're cached. In the same page (answers section), unvisited links are rendered as such. -- Cheers Jorge.-
