I was visiting osnews.com which I regularly visit with dillo 0.80. Using pre 0.8.1 I saw the first two text boxes render and then all stopped. The console said: Dns_server [1]: www.newmobilecomputing.com is 112488 Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) serial 8039 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0 visiting my own website at http://carduus.chanet.de yields the same problem, the first text lines appear and then: Dns_server [0]: carduus.chanet.de is 112598 Connecting to 217.110.112.61 Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) serial 4012 error_code 8 request_code 72 minor_code 0 Unfortunatly, I installed the new dillo over the old one so I cannot test the old anzmroe, but I bet it wasn't so bad. Now I can't visit any site at all basically. I will test other platforms. -Riccardo

Hi,Jorge, Thank you for your reply. FLTK need X, so I need to port microwindows at least. Why no let dillo's render engine more scalable? And I think that few desktop system have FLTK.

[Dillo-dev]dillo-0.8.1-pre1.tar.bz2

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there, It took a long time to prepare the pre1 tarball for the next release. Mainly because complex problems were discovered in the last minute. For instance, a race condition in the dpi chain that produced segfaults (it took three days to find and fix), and several problems with the downloads server (it had troubles when saving unnamed pages as "index.html" when the file already existed, it was also not renaming those pages, etc). The "pre1" tarball can be found at: http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-0.8.1-pre1.tar.bz2 When testing it, please pay special attention to the new detection routine for socklen_t (at ./configure time), and give the downloads server a hard test. Feedback is very important now, because I want to remove the "alpha software" label from dillo and name it as stable (beta). Thanks in advance Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]is anyone planning to add SpiderMonkey (JavaScript-C) Engine to Dillo?

by Miernik

Is any work going on to add SpiderMonkey (JavaScript-C) Engine to Dillo? http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/ I once saw a post of somebody who planned to do something like that, but heard of no progress later. I would be very interested in such implementation. -- Miernik _________________________ xmpp:miernik@amessage.info ___________________/__ tel: +48888299997 __/ mailto:miernik@ctnet.pl http://www.miernik.ctnet.pl/

[Dillo-dev]dillo interface and motif, athena etc

by Riccardo Mottola

Hello. I have never looked at dillo's source code directly, so I am asking some general questions here I have always liked dillo's speed and use of system resources because it brings back the fun of browsing and works on older workstations too, as every browser should. But I never liked dillo's interface too much. I'd like to make it a proper interface, more like other browsers have, taking inspiration for example from Mosaic's bar and bookmarks, from chimera's simplicity, from HotJava cutsomization, etc. Also, I dislike GTK: they are slow and don't work well on 256 color screens. I would use Motif for writing the interface with having an eye on LessTif of course. Motif/Lesstif is extremely fast and works like a charm on my old 20Mhz IBM RS6k witha 256 color card. Also, most free OS users have one of the either installed too, to run stuff like the excellent NEdit. Being able to install dillo on AIX, Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX without having to install an additional toolkit would just be nice. Athena is also present everywhere, but let's say it is a bit primitve. Of course, super-fast :) So I ask: how much of dillo's code is GTK dependent and how difficult would it be to port it to another toolkit? I have quite little experience with toolkits and since I don't know GTK it seems impossible to me alone. One of the nicest things, IMHO, would be a toolkit-independent dillo. Have a look at what the excellet GVIM does or at what amaya does (or, at least, did). Choose your toolkit! I don't know how they structured their code and their graphic drawing, but it would be interesting to investigate. -Riccardo

[Dillo-dev]GTK FLTK and other Render

by shuishuila

Hi, dillo-dev， I want to port dillo to set-top box as menu(OSD). But it don't have X11,GTK. How many work need to do if I have to write widget myself? I think it's a pity that dillo combine tightly with glib/gtk, so it is hard to port to X,FrameBuffer,DirectFB etc. If dillo have it's own widget and event handle, it is a excellent broswer for embedded system.

Re: [Dillo-dev]Re: Test for socklen_t in configure.in

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi, Sorry, I just realized that a "pre" tarball is required to test the socklen_t detection (else it depends on the local machine's installed auto* tools). I'm preparing it, stay tuned. Cheers Jorge.-
