Dillo 2.2 from a web designer's perspective
by strenholme.usenet＠gmail.com Feb. 24, 2010

Feb. 24, 2010

I have always had a soft spot for the Dillo web browser. It is the only graphical browser I am able to get to run on an old Gateway Handbook I have lurking around. Dillo is a browser which runs nicely on Windows 3.11 era machines while any other current browser plain simply does not run on a computer from that era. So, I like to keep up to date with what's happening with Dillo. Well, poking around I noticed Dillo 2.2 with CSS support was release just over a week ago. Indeed, most web pages look nicer with the limited CSS Dillo 2.2 supports than with no CSS at how. Naturally, I tested how Dillo 2.2 renders CSS. Which means going to the Acid2 test at http://acid2.acidtests.org/ This is what I got: http://www.samiam.org/dillo/Dillo-2.2-acid2test.png Now, I understand that it's going to take a lot of time and effort from you developers to get a smiley face on this page. I don't expect a Dillo 2.3 to be released tomorrow with a nice smiley face when taking the Acid 2 test. However, what I think is important to do is to have it so web designers who care about Dillo compatibility have a way of hiding CSS which doesn't look good in Dillo while having their pages look fine in other browsers. So, I've found a hack to hide CSS from Dillo: @media all Here's an example from the CSS for http://samiam.org/ @media all { #htext { margin-left: 80px; } } #htext { font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; color: white; } [...] @media all { .t1 { background: #d1e2f2; height: 1px; font-size: 0px; border-right: 1px solid #5a6173; } } @media all { .t2 { background: #d1e2f2; height: 1px; display: block !important; display: none; border-right: 2px solid #5a6173; } } @media all { .t3 { background: #acc6e6; border-left: 2px solid #d1e2f2; height: 2px; font-size: 0px; border-right: 2px solid #5a6173; } } [etc] This works quite nicely with Dillo 2.2; @media all (an old hack used for ancient versions of Opera with CSS problems) hides the CSS from Dillo 2.2 while keeping the CSS visible in Internet Explorer 6 and all other web browsers I know of. I was able to use it to have my page look reasonable in Dillo 2.2. So, I have a request: Please do not "fix" the @media all "bug" in Dillo's CSS support until http://acid2.acidtests.org gives us the entire smiling face. This way, web designers can continue to keep their sites looking reasonably nice in Dillo. Thank you for the excellent browser and allowing people with 386s and 486s to still browse the Internet. - Sam

View source
by jcid＠dillo.org Feb. 22, 2010

Feb. 22, 2010

Hi there, Just committed a patch for "view source" as a filter dpi. The source is simple and is well commented. There're three modes: plain text, numbered plain text, numbered html. The latter one is the default. Just give the source a look to change modes. It is very simple to tweak and improve. I remember somebody asked for "view source" in a favorite editor. From the dpi is simple. e.g. save to /tmp/source.txt and execl your editor. Comments, patches, cool styles, etc are welcomed. Enjoy! -- Cheers Jorge.-

fltk font issue
by corvid＠lavabit.com Feb. 21, 2010

Feb. 21, 2010

A few weeks ago, bug 940 was added. A segfault. The submitter gets it with Tiny Core. I don't see it with my non-TC setup, so I asked Colin about it. He suspected that it had to do with TC's dearth of fonts. http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2319 was added yesterday, and is about someone with dillo-2.2 getting font crashes. fltk::setfont() calling fontopen(), which gets NULL from XftFontOpen() (as the manpage says can happen). Since this is a fltk2 thing, I think this will fall to us to fix. As for whether we simply want to stick something like if (!xftfont) return; after the fontopen() call, or we want to try harder in some way, I don't know yet.

configure.in and libpng-1.4
by corvid＠lavabit.com Feb. 20, 2010

Feb. 20, 2010

I committed a safe fix for libpng-1.4, but it means that configure.in currently has: dnl Check if the user hasn't set the variable $PNG_CONFIG if test -z "$PNG_CONFIG"; then PNG_CONFIG=`which libpng14-config` if test -z "$PNG_CONFIG"; then PNG_CONFIG=`which libpng12-config` fi if test -z "$PNG_CONFIG"; then PNG_CONFIG=`which libpng-config` fi if test -z "$PNG_CONFIG"; then PNG_CONFIG=`which libpng10-config` fi fi and case $png_version in 1.4.*) AC_MSG_RESULT([$png_version (newer version)]) ;; 1.2.*) AC_MSG_RESULT([$png_version (newer version)]) ;; 1.0.*) AC_MSG_RESULT([$png_version (older version)]) ;; *) AC_MSG_RESULT([ERROR]) ;; esac I would strongly prefer to rip out most of that `which` stuff and just look for libpng-config. Does anyone know that this would be a bad idea? Whatever libpng-config is symlinked to is presumably what the user wants us to use...

BLFS Dillo page
by onepoint＠starurchin.org Feb. 14, 2010

Feb. 14, 2010

I just updated the BLFS dillo2 Wiki page to reflect release 2.2. Is there anything else that should be changed? Eg. it doesn't say anything about CSS configuration files. http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dillo2 Regards, Jeremy Henty

dillo-2.2 has been released!
by corvid＠lavabit.com Feb. 12, 2010

Feb. 12, 2010

Get it at http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-2.2.tar.bz2 Some highlights of this release are: - a major overhaul of the cookies subsystem - a reimplementation of the Dillo Plugin (DPI) API - a configurable connection limit - various CSS improvements Anyone using cookies should definitely upgrade, as important security fixes were made in the process of rewriting the cookies module. Pretty much all of the changes that would be of interest to users are mentioned in the ChangeLog ( http://hg.dillo.org/dillo/file/tip/ChangeLog ) In configuration files: dillorc has new options http_max_conns and show_help, and the default for no_proxy has changed. keysrc has new options for save and for various motion commands. You can also use keysym values in the rules now. I think I have the website all updated except for the main page, and Jorge will do the freshmeat stuff.

Editable User-Agent
by Hole.destructor＠gmx.de Feb. 11, 2010

Feb. 11, 2010

Dear Dillo Developers, I would like to make a small proposal for another useful option in dillorc: A customizable User-Agent string. I think this might be useful for some users that want to mime another browser in order to avoid vulnerabilities due to zero day security problems or that want to test their website with several browsers and User-Agent strings. Enclosed please find a small patch that adds a new option to dillorc which defines the User-Agent string via http_user_agent="Mozilla/5.0" Kind regards, Alexander Voigt

dillo-2.2-rc3
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Feb. 10, 2010

Feb. 10, 2010

Hello, here comes rc3, which contains a minor addition to the blackhole fix. On some systems processes get a SIGHUP before SIGTERM / SIGKILL on shutdown. To make sure that we cleanup properly in that case, SIGHUP needs to be catched too. http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-2.2-rc3.tar.bz2 SHA1: ec78c1b8a5f3e0199bd6ac0912edeabfd18ae35f If no issues come up this will become dillo-2.2. I want to release 2.2 tomorrow. We can wait with the freshmeat announcement until packages are available, but I don't want to delay the official release of the 2.2 sources any further. Cheers, Johannes
