Big changes in DPI framework and API

by jcid＠dillo.org

Hi, Today the big work on DPI/DPIP was committed! The new framework and API is easier to use and more powerful. Lots of bugs and constraints were removed in the process. It was a lot of work but now is easier to fix and implement new things. After all the DPI framework was growing as new needs arose and it needed a rewrite since long ago. There're still pending patches and docs. Details are in the Changelog and Mercurial repo (hg log -v|less). One of them is the new select() based file dpi. It should be faster and use less resources (all happens in a single process now). Note: currently the code uses Internet Domain sockets instead of Unix domain sockets. This was initially meant for MINIX, but in the process several bugs were fixed, the code restructured, added more error handling and improved in general. In the future we may go back to UDS, but the cleanup gains will remain. Please test and enjoy. ...and remember to "dpidc stop" before "make install-strip". -- Cheers Jorge.-

patch: jpegs and cmyk color space

by corvid＠lavabit.com

Here's one page that links to some CMYK jpgs and pretty much fits with what I've been able to learn: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21659 Everything I find on the web about this shows roughly the same amount of uncertainty.

arbitrary keysyms in keysrc

by corvid＠lavabit.com

What would you think of allowing arbitrary keysyms to be specified in keysrc using their hex values?

Firefox seems to follow the original behaviour consistently :( I'm shocked by this because ff surely does whatever ms does, and so people must actually see all of those underlined spaces. It seems to me that if they saw them, they'd take them out. So I'll undo it.

In this case, the easy solution is to look what Firefox does. For instance try the attached test page. -- Cheers Jorge.-

If you can come up with a 100% solution it'd be great. I think it'll be a matter of what we want to define the solution as, for instance, whether there is a clear enough choice for <a ...>word </a><s> word</s>. If I put a space inside the A, I might want it, and I might not. I'm probably more likely to want it if it's a matter of U, S, or overline, and less likely to want it if it's from an A, but maybe that's too detailed and picky.

I remember thinkering on this bug several times. That's why I'm happy this is getting a cleanup! > I could look at the possible spaces and select the one with > the least-decorated style, perhaps. Now that you have this part of the code in your short-term memory cells ;), please try to make a good link-underline test page. If you can come up with a 100% solution it'd be great. -- Cheers Jorge.-

We had lots of cases of "<a ...> word </a> word" that underlined the space following the link. Now we have some "word <a ....> word</a>" that underline the space preceding the link. I could look at the possible spaces and select the one with the least-decorated style, perhaps.

Latest whitespace handling patches

by jcid＠dillo.org

Hi, The latest cleanups and whitespace handling patches have come like a fresh breeze removing unnecessary code. They're good for better code clarity. One of the few regressions I've noticed is extra underlining of links (the space before the first word's letter). As in: http://www.dwheeler.com/blog/2009/10/27/#dod-oss-2009 BTW, I'm close to commiting the DPIP changes. Hopefully near this month's end. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Re: NULL for default tag close?

I'd be surprised if the gain is more than 0.1%. BTW, today in one part of the DPIP code I found that avoiding thousands of read() calls made no noticeable difference. With write() it was a different story though. Most probably gcc optimizes out empty functions too. -- Cheers Jorge.-
