dillo-0.8.0-pre
by Jorge Arellano Cid Aug. 8, 2003

Aug. 8, 2003

Hi there! It took a lot of time and effort, but finally the base for the next release (aka. 0.8.0-pre) is in the CVS now. It comes with lots of changes and some rough edges. Check the ChangeLog for a summary. This is not polished, nor your good ole' CVS snapshot, it is more intended for people interested in playing with the new dpi stuff. The dpid (dpi daemon) still requires a manual launch, and there're several things to improve (commented inside the code). As for the new dpis: FTP: It works OK, but is silent. This means it will not tell you what is doing until it's done. This is simple to fix and is a matter of capturing the stderr from wget and sending back some messages to dillo. You can download with the downloads plugin (right click on the link and "save as"). Downloads: It uses wget in a separate process (if dillo crashes, the download will survive). It can handle multiple downloads at the same time. It's also silent by now, but there's a guy that's working on a nice GUI that will provide all the necessary interfacing (aka Bells and Whistles). I'll ask him to share the code when it gets to a more advanced stage. Https: Unfortunately it doesn't work well (only for single, trivial, documents {with no image links} or single images). The problem is not within the plugin but with internal buffering inside dillo's core. I'll look at it when I have more time. There's an interesting discussion about suitability of UDS for HTTPS. Read the comments inside the code for more details. Hello: Just an example. This is the one you're supposed to play hard with if you want to develop a new dpi! Mailto: inexistent, but quite easy to develop. Just make the bindings and fork your favorite MUA. Cookies: Still need to be made a dpi (ported). That will solve our one-instance-only restriction. Read the docs! Ah, copy all the dpis to your ~/.dillo (we haven't defined where to place them yet). You'll also need a "dpidrc" in your ~/.dillo directory. Mine looks like: <q> /home/jcid/.dillo/bookmarks.dpi 0 /home/jcid/.dillo/downloads.dpi 0 /home/jcid/.dillo/ftp.dpi 1 /home/jcid/.dillo/https.dpi 1 /home/jcid/.dillo/hello.dpi 1 </q> Don't forget to launch dpid! That's all folks. Time to pause, recess, repose, break, rest ... Cheers Jorge.-

re: Anti-aliasing patch for dillo-0.7.3 available
by Reid Fleming Aug. 8, 2003

Aug. 8, 2003

> Please, could you also tell us what you have changed besides > adapting the patch to 0.7.3? There were almost no changes from your patch, aside from "src/Makefile.in" where I changed LIBS = @LIBS@ to LIBS = @LIBS@ -lXft2 -lXrender -lfontconfig so that it would correctly link on my machine. There might have been an additional instance of gdk_text_width that I changed to gdk_text_width_xft but that's it. Thanks again for your patch. Will this make it in to the next version of dillo ?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 23:05:56 PDT From: Dmnz <dmnz(a)x-bit.org> To: jcid <jcid(a)softhome.net> Subject: Thanks for dillo! Jorge, Just wanted to extend thanks for coding dillo. All I have at the moment are two tadpole sparcbook 3gx's. Dillo is the only browser I can use on them with any speed. It runs off the openbsd sparbook and displays on the solaris one with 16bbp color. For us poor folks dillo is great! Thanks for your time and efforts to make a great lightweight browser!

Dillo RPM/build on SuSE 8.1
by Kelson Vibber Aug. 8, 2003

Aug. 8, 2003

Patrick, From what you sent me it looks like the problem with the binary RPM is over new libpng and glibc versions. Here's what I've gotten from SuSE's FTP site as far as library versions: SuSE 8.1: glibc 2.2 libpng 1.2.4 SuSE 8.2: glibc 2.3 libpng 1.2.5 So the glibc version conflict is explained. The libpng conflict is strange, though, because I would expect those to be the same generation of libpng. What version does "rpm -qi libpng" report? I did some digging through the mailing list archives, and came across the thread in which you were having problems compiling 0.7.2 from source. I had forgotten that the source needed to be patched to compile it on SuSE 8.1 ( http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-April/000532.html ) Does the 0.7.3 source RPM build, or does it give you the same libpng errors as 0.7.2? Can you compile 0.7.3 from source? If not, does it work after applying the patch? If so, I'll add it to the SRPM and apply it for SuSE <= 8.1 (or better yet, if I can figure out a way to do it, only on versions of libpng that need it). I'll try to find time soon to install a copy of SuSE 8.1 so I can do my own testing & building. I'm not too fond of SuSE's FTP-based installation, but the rant would be way off-topic. For now, I've renamed the SuSE RPM to make it clear it will only work on 8.2. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Refresh shortcut?
by Ralph Slooten Aug. 8, 2003

Aug. 8, 2003

Hi there all, Just a small question: Are there any plans to implicate a keyboard shortcut for refreshing? I know the rest of them, and unless I'm mistaken, the only one missing is refresh ;-) I use dillo mainly on my laptop, and try do as much possible with keyboard shortcuts, and when using forums, the refresh is neccissary to see which posts have / have not been viewed. Many thanks Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"

Greetings, Some time ago Nicola Girardi posted an anti-aliasing patch for 0.7.1 or 0.7.2 (thanks Nicola!). Based on that patch, I have created a patch to dillo-0.7.3. This patch has only been tested on a Redhat 8.0 system. You will need to install freetype-devel, fontconfig-devel, and Xft-devel if not already installed. The patch is available at: http://www.bigredrockeater.com/dillo/dillo-0.7.3xft.diff

Hi there! It took a lot of time, but finally, dillo-0.7.3 is out! I just finished updating the web site and submitting the announcement to freshmeat (it usually takes some minutes to show in the fm's front page). This message is for those that haven't noticed yet. Or that have noticed too much failed attempts! :-) Enjoy Jorge.-
