Yes, this is the new HTML5's "transparent" mode. A is a transparent container, which is not yet handled by dillo. Let me think it a bit... -- Cheers Jorge.-

A fltk.org page gave the warning "...<small> must have been closed before </td>..." and it wasn't clear what that meant. The src has <td><small>some text</td> and in that case "<small> must be closed before </td>" sounds right to me.

Hi there, This is an important patchset that's just been committed. There're plenty of details in the hg comments (hg log -v). This are changes that affect the way dillo copes with Tag Soup (i.e. bad formed HTML). The idea is to create a valid doc tree before passing it to Dw for rendering, so yes, rendering may change. Please check the comments, then browse your regular sites and give it a test drive, then send some feedback. At least in my case there were nice surprises! -- Cheers Jorge.-

I realized this is an exceedingly trivial concern when compared with the fact that distributions have configured dillo with --enable-ssl for years despite the state of the old dpi and our all-caps warnings, thereby causing users to trust something they shouldn't.

Excellent. I like mbedtls (formerly known as PolarSSL). The code looks much saner to me than openssl. Cheers, Johannes

an experiment using mbed TLS

> What's the main point/difference in using mbedtls vs OpenSSL? OpenSSL is such a notorious nightmare--one gets the distinct impression that the developers have not taken their responsibility seriously--that I was curious to try a different one that is supposed to be more comprehensible. mbed tls had been on my mind as something I might want to try someday after they implement OCSP stapling, but then I was just in the mood for it the other day. As for how practical it would ever be to have this code in the real dillo someday, I think that comes down to: How good are distributions at making security updates available for their more obscure packages? > > That said, it looks like netsurf uses curl, and curl can use any > > tls library you care to mention.

I was thinking how if someone did get the idea in their head that they wanted a small browser that works with mbed tls, dillo might not be the first choice.
