I had set it to YES because it seemed less surprising for the people who aren't like me and don't page through dotfiles when trying software. (My aging screen is dimming and no longer capable of displaying a white background anyway.) In other news, I was just starting to play with the mangleme fuzzer that Justus mentioned some months back. It has quickly shown that something is wrong with html->Stash (e.g. *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08204d28 ***), but I haven't looked into the problem yet.

Committed. I also set panel_size=large for function visibility and standard_widget_colors=NO (it looks nicer). BTW, my preference is allow_white_bg=NO, but left it as is (YES), waiting for your opinions. > Also, I remember Jorge once saying that maybe it should be > named dillo2rc instead of dillorc2. I think so too. Done. Please don't forget to rename your rc file: mv ~/.dillo/dillorc2 ~/.dillo/dillo2rc With regard to the menu bar, it was reimplemented using a more ortodox way (MenuBar instead of PopupMenu). It works and looks better now! -- Cheers Jorge.-

The proposal here is to have everything commented out in the rc by default, and show what the default settings are so that people don't have to spend as much time experimenting when they want to configure their nifty superbrowser. When resolving inconsistencies, I generally picked the rc setting when uncommented, and the prefs one otherwise. Figured it would be a fair approximation of what Jorge might accept... Also, I remember Jorge once saying that maybe it should be named dillo2rc instead of dillorc2. I think so too.

Should we make proper builds and guides for them? No. I'd prefer them to test the next release. Once it's made, packages are welcomed. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Please add it in the page. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Now that you mention it, I believe making it gradually looks like a good idea. Just stick a note that we're updating the site for the next release (late Sep or early Aug), and let's work on it. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Do you think it's time yet to update the parts of What is Dillo on the main page that have changed (and rip out the Dillo is frozen), or should that wait until release is very close?
