Version 8 of tab+frame patch: smallproblemwithwhitespaceinmultilength
by Frank de Lange Aug. 13, 2003

Aug. 13, 2003

Hi'all, I just noticed that the current version of my tab+frames patch does not handle multilengths with whitespace correctly. I already fixed it in my version, will include the fix in the next version of the patch. If you encounter framesets which look weird, it may be caused by this problem. As the multilength parser was based on the one found in html.c, this problem is also present in anything which uses Html_parse_multi_length_list(), or which feeds length strings with leading whitespace to Html_parse_length_or_multi_length(). So, a multilength like "*,*" works fine, as does "* ,*", but "*. *" does not work correctly. As far as I can see, these functions are used in tables and embedded widgets. My fix in gtkframeset.c was to rewrite the parser into something slightly more robust (using g_strsplit and g_strstrip). Something similar is needed for html.c. I might include this in my patch, but unpatched Dillo also needs a fix so it is better solved in CVS.

[PATCH] Version 8 of tab+frame patch is out
by Frank de Lange Aug. 13, 2003

Aug. 13, 2003

Hi'all, The next version (8) of my tab patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). Frameset support has been upgraded to an 'almost usable' level. The major missing feature is manual frame resize support, which will come in a later version. Frameset (and iframe) support is enabled by default, it can be disabled using the configure option --enable-xhtml-dtd=strict. You can also use --enable-xhtml-dtd=transitional, which will give you iframe but no frameset support. The default option, --enable-xhtml-dtd=frameset, gives both iframe and frameset support. As usual, tab support can be disabled using --disable-tabs. Other new features (since the last version): - CTRL-R will reload a page (or frameset) Of course, the patch also fixes some bugs (and possibly introduces new ones). Please, test this patch and tell me what breaks. Or what works. Or whatever. More on frame/iframe support ============================ Frameset support is based on a new widget (GtkFrameset) which implements <frameset> as specified in xhtml-dtd-frameset. This widget is not Dillo-specific, so it can in theory be used in any GTK program. It is a pure GTK widget, not rooted in Dw. It does not provide any special support for Dw-specific features (eg. the full-screen-off-button is not displayed in the widget). I might make a special version for Dillo, which does implement these features. What works: - loading (nested) framesets, displaying frames at their appropriate location and appropriate size, including margin width/height. - loading (nested) iframes, displaying iframes at their appropriate location and with (mostly) appropriate size and alignment. - all frame-related menu options (in the popup menu). Frame menus can be accessed using the 'This Frame...' button in the popup menu, nested framesets have their own 'This Frameset...' menu. This way, Dillo allows you to limit actions to a subset of a framed document, eg. you can search for text in just one frame/iframe/frameset. Top-level menu options usually refer to the whole document (the frameset). An exception to this is the 'Jump To' option, which refers to the frame in which the menu was opened (question: should this contain the anchors for all frames?). Use the 'Show only this Frame' option in the Frame Options menu to get a full-page view of a frame. Same for 'Show only this Frameset'. What does not work yet: - the full_screen_off_button is not shown in frame documents. Use double-click instead to toggle the full screen setting... - manual frame resize is not supported yet. - the noresize and scrolling attributes are not supported yet Tabs, Frames and browser bloat ============================== 0.7.3 unpatched: 285152 bytes Patched, no tabs, no frames: 289356 bytes Patched, no tabs, with frames: 303052 bytes Patched, with tabs, no frames: 297100 bytes Patched, with tabs and frames: 310828 bytes The frameset implementation has grown about 10 Kb since the last patch. This is mainly due to the implementation of frame size support and the shift to a new widget (which has to be included in the binary, as it is not part of GTK (yet?)). Anyway, tabs alone cost about 12 Kb, frameset alone approximately 18 Kb, both together about 25 Kb. Bear in mind that the code has not been optimized for size yet. Download instructions ===================== There are now two versions of the patch, one for Dillo 0.7.3 (release) and one for Dillo 0.8.0-pre (CVS). Make sure to download the correct version for the Dillo source you want to patch! If you patch the CVS source, do not forget to run ./autogen.sh after applying the patch. The CVS patch is made against 20030813 CVS, while the 0.7.3 patch is made against Dillo-0.7.3.tar.bz2 (the source tarball on the main Dillo website). Both versions of the patch can be downloaded from the usual (ad-happy, but...)

[patch] Remote Control
by Melvin Hadasht Aug. 13, 2003

Aug. 13, 2003

Hi, I just made a patch to add remote control for Dillo. 1. Summary: 1.1 Why? To be able to command Dillo from another process. E.g.: if Dillo is used as a help doc browser of a program, the program can implement context sensitive help and associate to each widget a help URL. The same Dillo instance can then be used to show the differents help docs. Other example, which also was the motivation of this patch: Sylpheed-Claws uses Dillo to render HTML mail, but currently it has to run a new instance each time the user views an HTML mail. Having only one instance is more efficient and improve responsiveness. 1.2. HowTo To be remote controlled, a Dillo instance must be explicitly started with a special command line option (-s, --server NAME), e.g.: dillo -s server A client instance sends commands to this server by referencing it and by using the -c, --command options, e.g.: a. dillo -s server -c "open(http://www.google.com)" -c "new-window(www.av.com)" b. dillo -s server http://www.google.com amounts to: dillo -s server -c "new-window(http://www.google.com)" Hence, running dillo -s server -c "open(URL)" mutliple times will launch only one instance of dillo at the first time, and the subsequent calls will just hand the arguments to the server. This is more practical than Mozilla's current behaviour where the user has to use two different commands to start and to control a server. The list of currently known commands is provided by the -H, --help-commands option: dillo -H Commands that can be used with the -c, --command option: open(URL) Open URL in current window. new-window(URL) Open URL in a new window. Exit() Terminate browsing session and exit. Command names are case insensitive. It is allowed to have more than one command option. New commands can be added, the syntax being: command(.*) 2. Ressources In dillorc: server_socket_path by default, it is "/tmp". It is used to create the socket name which is: $server_socket_path/dillo-$USER-$NAME. where $NAME is the server name from the -s, --server NAME option. E.g.: /tmp/dillo-john-help 3. Caveat If gtk specific command lines arguments are given, arguments are messed around, due to the fact that the patch delays gtk_init() after private arguments parsing, This will be fixed in the next version If a Dillo server does not quit cleanly, the socket corresponding to the server is not removed. Subsequent attempts to run a server with the same name will fail until the socket is removed (by default: /tmp/dillo-$USER-$SERVER_NAME). A solution is currently searched. The -c "exit()" works only when used from the client side The -c commands are currently ignored if no -s option is given. Any comments are welcome. Especially use cases for the remote control. 4. Details 4.1. Becoming a server Communication between server and client is done via UNIX domain socket. The advantage between this and FIFO being that a separate connection is made for each client, so communcation are guaranteed to not mixup. FIFO, on the other hand, can mixup communication of multiple clients if the messages are larger than some value (PIPE_BUF). This patch uses dynamic allocation for the messages received by the server. When the -s, --server NAME option is given, dillo checks wether a socket correspondig to that name is available and responding. If yes, it will hand any -c, --command CMD and any URL|FILE it finds in its command line options to that running server. URL|FILE are interpreted as "-c new-window(URL|FILE)". If no server socket is responding, it turns it self into a server by creating that socket. After that, it handles the -c, --command CMD and the URL|FILE options itself. 4.2. GUI initialisation The gtk_init() function is now called after dillo options parsing to speed up client execution. Indeed, a client instance does not need to initialise the GUI. This introduces the problem of messed up args if gtk args are given. This could affect the URL|FILE arguments. A solution would be to save them in a separate list for later processing. Another solution would be to interprete the URL|FILE arguments as -c open(URL|FILE) at an early stage. This will also help fixing the problem of the -c commands being ignored if no -s option is given. 4.3. Commands Commands are simple of the form: command(arg..). Arguments are parsed by the shell, so the user must take care that the command is interpreted as a single argument by the shell. Arguments should not contain unescaped parenthesis or spaces. Therefore, the following example is incorrect: dillo -s server -c open(file:///home/user/My documents) because: 1. the shell interprets the parenthesis, and 2. there is a space in the argument. This should be escaped in the following manner by using quotes: dillo -s server -c "open(file:///home/user/My documents)" It is easy to add new commands. -- Melvin Hadasht

Recovering health.
by Jorge Arellano Cid Aug. 12, 2003

Aug. 12, 2003

Hi there, Sorry about being absent from the list the past few days. I caught what here's called "rotavirus", it starts with stomach problems and when you recover, it knocks you with a heavy cold! That's several days, staying in bed, etc... (I'm now recovering from the cold). What we were doing? Ah yes, trying to make the 0.7.3 release. Well, as the bug discovered requires an extensive revision of the incremental resize mechanism, we decided to tag current CVS as 0.7.3-pre and upload 0.8.0-pre there and to continue as if it was released. Once there's a patch that fixes the bug, 0.7.3 will be released to the public, but in the meanwhile we'll be working on 0.8.0-pre. I updated the dpi1 spec (to be commited after this email), and hope to upload my 0.8.0-pre tarball before Sunday. Thorben: I sent a couple of emails to your auriga address, but got no answer. Maybe they were filtered as SPAM (some servers filter softhome, and I don't blame them!). That's why I'm writing to you here. Did you receive them? How is the email accounts enabling process at auriga going on? Ah, and I received a couple of SPAM rejection notes from external servers for SPAM delivered by our list. Is it possible to hook SpamAssassin to dillo-dev so it filters out SPAM? Best Jorge.-

When I launch Dillo, the content part of the window is not focused so I have to click on the content to focus it and then I can page through it using the keyboard.

Question about frames (have them working, but...)
by Frank de Lange Aug. 9, 2003

Aug. 9, 2003

Hi'all, The next version (7) of my tab patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). Most notable change is that it now also contains an experimental, not-really-ready-but-quite-entertaining implementation of frame/iframe support. The not-quite-ready part has to do with the sizing of frames (more on this later). Frame support, like tab support, is optional. It is enabled by default, but you can disable it using (frames) --disable-frames and (tabs) --disable-tabs during configure. Other new features: - title of window/tab set to url if file has no title (this can be disabled with the preference 'document_title_use_url=NO', default enabled) - navigation buttons (back, forward, stop, reload) in popup menu (can be disabled with preference 'show_popup_navigation=NO', default enabled) - duplicate page (open current page in new window, keyboard ALT-N) and, if tab support is enabled, duplicate tab (open current page in new tab, keyboard ALT-T) options in popup menu. Of course, the patch also fixes some bugs (and possibly introduces new ones). I had to back out my stopgap fix for the Gdk-CRITICAL warnings, which caused more problems than it solved. Instead, I patched dw_widget. The warnings were generated from within Dw_widget_mouse_event(dw_widget:729) when it tried to set a cursor on a non-existing window. I added a NULL-check, and made the widget generate a debug message (set DEBUG_LEVEL to 10 to see the warning). More on frame/iframe support ============================ What works: - loading (nested) framesets, displaying frames at their appropriate location (but not at their appropriate size... yet...) - loading (nested) iframes, displaying iframes at their appropriate location and with (mostly) appropriate size and alignment. - all frame-related menu options (in the popup menu). Frame menus can be accessed using the 'This Frame...' button in the popup menu, nested framesets have their own 'This Frameset...' menu. This way, Dillo allows you to limit actions to a subset of a framed document, eg. you can search for text in just one frame/iframe/frameset. Top-level menu options usually refer to the whole document (the frameset). An exception to this is the 'Jump To' option, which refers to the frame in which the menu was opened (question: should this contain the anchors for all frames?). Use the 'Show only this Frame' option in the Frame Options menu to get a full-page view of a frame (which is what you'd get with an unpatched version of Dillo). What does not work yet: - obeying frameset proportions. Currently all frames are allocated a default size. I have the appropriate sizes for the frames at hand, but GTK does not provide a means to size multiple widgets in a container relative to the size of that container. The 'gtk_widget_set_usize()' (or GTK2's gtk_widget_set_size_request() replacement function) are not suitable for this purpose, although they can be used to set a minimum or absolute size for rows/columns which have been specified that way (frameset rows=100,100,* is easy, frameset rows=100,20%,3*,* is not...). - the full_screen_off_button is not shown in frame documents. Use double-click instead to toggle the full screen setting... These problems can be solved by creating a new widget for the frameset, but that might be overkill. DwTable provides some of the needed features, but is is overcomplicated for the task at hand (no colspan or rowspan in framesets, etc) and lacks direct control over the height of table cells. If anyone has any bright ideas on how to assign widgets sizes which are relative to their container, speak up... Or, if anyone has already created (or at least thought about creating) a 'frameset' widget, please let me know. No need to re-invent the wheel... If I get no response, I will probably create a new widget based on GtkTable, with some built-in sizing magic. I chose GtkTable over DwTable because the former seems to be more suitable for the purpose than the latter. I might be wrong, please tell me... Tabs, frames and browser bloat ============================== For those who wonder if all this will add much to the size of Dillo, rest assured that it does not. I did some size comparisons between CVS Dillo (unpatched) and several configurations with the patch applied. The main results are (compiled with gcc 3.2.2, binutils 2.13.90.0.18 for x86, optimisation -Os, stripped binary) CVS unpatched: 285024 bytes Patched, no tabs, no frames: 289884 bytes Patched, no tabs, with frames: 294076 bytes Patched, with tabs, no frames: 297596 bytes Patched, with tabs and frames: 301692 bytes So, some 15 Kb for tabs and frames together, bearing in mind the patch has not been optimised for size yet (premature optimisation is... well, a bad idea). Not too bad, I think. Download instructions ===================== The patch is made against 20030804 CVS. It can be downloaded from the usual (ad-happy, but...)

Refresh tag patch...
by Tom Lisjac Aug. 9, 2003

Aug. 9, 2003

Last Spring we deployed Dillo 7.2 for use in library lookup stations at a local elementary school. Dillo ran beautifully in our LTSP lab and on 4 CD booted, diskless P-120's with 64 megabytes of ram: http://otero.harrison.k12.co.us/Linux/lab.html For catalog searches, the librarians, teachers and kids love Dillo and prefer it to Mozilla on Linux or IE on Win98. We would like to install diskless Linux lookup stations in all the school libraries... which would replace 200+ Windows 98 installs. The *only* problem is that the card catalog server (Accent) uses sessions that require periodic client refresh. If the sessions time out, the server produces an error message that confuses the kids and frequently requires teacher intervention. I understand and respect the reasons for not supporting the refresh tag... but I was wondering if someone may have had this problem and developed a patch or some other technique to make it work. Best regards, Tom Lisjac http://theseus.sourceforge.net

Dillo 0.7.3 is not rendering the "trade mark" HTML entity, although it is in the entity table in "src/html.c". You can see this behaviour by viewing this page: http://www.forum.nokia.com/nds_for_j2me.html You can see some strangeness by going to http://www.metafilter.com and scrolling down to the entry that begins: Canada's Supreme Court Trashes Citizens' Property Rights. where Dillo is rendering '"' sometimes as a circumflex accent.

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.-

> 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 ?

Best Regards, B. Stevens dmnz(a)x-bit.org ... Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a tagline writer.

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"

Anti-aliasing patch for dillo-0.7.3 available
by Reid Fleming Aug. 7, 2003

Aug. 7, 2003

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

dillo-0.7.3.tar.bz2
by Jorge Arellano Cid Aug. 7, 2003

Aug. 7, 2003

Hi there! Yesterday I posted an email about 0.7.3 but forgot to mention the most important part: the URL! :-) There's a tarball of 0.7.3 at: http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-0.7.3.tar.bz2 The plan was to test it yesterday (it already passed my tests and Seb's too) and to announce it on Wednesday while letting our packagers some time to update them for announce time. So there it is, and will be announced on Thursday. Please get it and give it some hard testing. Kelson, Phil, Oliver: please make update your packages with it. Sorry for the mistake. Cheers Jorge.- Frank: after I upload 0.8.0-pre I'll have some time to look in your work. Now that 0.7.3 release is almost done, I guess Sebastian will have some time too (we were working on a plan for CSS, and then Sebastian had to make a detailed review of the incremental resizing mechanism because of some discovered bugs. I was working on 0.8.0-pre (plugins) and on the release). All this explanation is to state that it is not lack of interest, but lack of manpower. You'd be amazed to know all of the things I'm working in parallel. PS: the above note applies to all of you waiting for an answer from my side...

AFAIR, nobody has reported how to do it yet, but I think it is possible with the required expertise. I mean it involves not only knowing Dillo internals, but also about the porting state of the libraries it depends upon: mainly glib, GTK+ and pthread. It seems that if Dillo is upgraded to use GTK+2 the task gets a bit simpler (and we have plans to do it so). This link may help: (and an email to its author) https://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2003-March/015973.html Finally, if you work for a company interested enough to sponsor the port, you can contact us to make a plan.

The specs say something like this: Use the <frameset> tag in lieu of a <body> tag in the frame document. You may not include any other content except valid <head> and <frameset> content in a frame document. Combining frames with a conventional document containing <body> may result in unpredictable browser behavior. So, again (this is to the list), should Dillo follow the specs - and thus produce unwanted results - or try to work around the cruft some sites serve? Fixing this would be relatively easy, and the fix can be optional (--enable-pedantic or --enable-quirks or whatever...) By the way, some sites check the browser string to decide what type of content to send, these may also send non-frames content. Same goes for sites which use Javascript to test for browser versions. So even if Dillo has full frame support one day, it can still happen that a site does not serve it (functional) frame documents...

Frame support in tab patch, found a bug...
by Frank de Lange Aug. 5, 2003

Aug. 5, 2003

Hi'all, I just noted an interesting typo in the frame support code, which makes some framed sites look really weird. I'll fix in in the next patch, but (as it is a very simple thing to change) you might want to fix your copy asap. in html.c, in the function Html_tag_open_frameset():1971 change: gint col = *frame_number / html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; gint row = *frame_number % html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; to: gint col = *frame_number % html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; gint row = *frame_number / html->stack[html->stack_top].frameset_cols; So, in essence, switch the '/' and '%' operators. It will still make a mess of the layout as it does not obey frame sizing, but at least it is a geometrically correct mess...

dillo-0.7.3-rc2
by Jorge Arellano Cid Aug. 3, 2003

Aug. 3, 2003

Hi there! Today I was decided to upload 0.8.0-pre but found some problems with one plugin. At the same time Sebastian sent me a fix for the bug that delays 0.7.3 (very simple), so most probably our current CVS holds the final 0.7.3! Please give it a hard test. If everything goes fine, it'll be released by Tuesday or Wednesday. With regard to 0.8.0-pre, please expect it to be in CVS at announce time. I know I have delayed it a lot, but it comes with much more than what was anticipated (and I believe you'd prefer it to be working right! :). Cheers Jorge.- PS: Phil, Kelson: Please be prepared to upgrade your packages before 0.7.3 is announced. That is, if testing don't say otherwise! I'll let you know one or two days before the announcement.

[PATCH] <Q> quotations
by Johan Hilding July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

Hi! I've patched Dillo-CVS to do quotes, just like described in HTML 4.01 Spec. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.2.2) but w/o the cite argument. The reason why there is no cite argument is 1) because i don't know how to parse/access an argument (no big problem, i'll just learn) 2) i don't know how to display it. I find the whole quotation being an anchor a bit annoying, so i'd like you to give me feedback on the patch and how to show the cite-argument.

RPM for Mandrake 9.1 PPC
by Kelson Vibber July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

I figured out what I was doing wrong with the installer, and I got Mandrake set up. I didn't have to make any changes to dillo.spec for once - all I had to do was install some devel pacakges that Mandrake includes, but doesn't install by default. An RPM for Mandrake 9.1 PowerPC is now available. http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ After the frustration of trying to get this installed in the first place, and a slightly better understanding of BootX which suggests that booting multiple versions of Linux on the same system will be inconvenient at best, I think I'm going to wait a while before I tackle anything else. This was the only PPC version I'd actually gotten a request for, after all. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

RPM for Mandrake 8.2, fixed SRPM for older distributions
by Kelson Vibber July 29, 2003

July 29, 2003

I actually posted the files last Thursday, but I didn't get around to announcing it. I now have an RPM suitable for Mandrake 8.2 (and presumably Mandrake 8.1 and 8.0, but I don't have those to test it.) http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ In the process, I discovered a bug that prevented the SRPM from building on older versions of RPM. To handle the various menu structures, I used nested %if statements like "if Mandrake then X; else if SuSe then Y; else Z." RPM used to have problems with this. It's been fixed in recent releases, and it looks like it was backported for the version in SuSE 8.2, but Mandrake 8.2 (and probably older Red Hat and SuSE versions) would not be able to rebuild the SRPM. I've fixed that, so the SRPM should work on more systems now. If you were trying to use it and got errors about boolean expressions returning -1, try it again and let me know if it's still broken. I mentioned a while back that I might be able to add a few PPC distributions. That's turning out to be a problem, since I can't seem to install anything on the machine (a PowerBase Mac clone running Mac OS 8.5). I've tried Mandrake PPC 9.1 and Yellow Dog 2.3 so far. Mandrake's script for configuring BootX to run the installer won't work, and the docs for setting it up manually are sparse, so it's all trial and error. Yellow Dog sets up BootX fine, but the installer keeps crashing in the middle of installing glibc. Latest RPM Download Statistics (July) 270 Red Hat 9 avg 9.6/day 161 Mandrake 9 avg 5.8/day 120 Source RPM avg 4.3/day 107 Red Hat 7 avg 3.8/day 100 Red Hat 8 avg 3.6/day 82 SuSE 8 avg 2.9/day 7 Mandrake 8 avg 1.8/day (only available for 4 days) RH 9 is still the top download, but Mdk 9 has displaced the SRPM as #2. I do still wonder about the people grabbing the SRPMs. I haven't gotten many responses to the survey, and most of those were useless. People would select "Other" and then not say what distribution they wanted it for, or they would select "Older Mandrake Linux" but not say what version. Filter out all of those and anything applying to Mandrake 8, and only 3 requests remain: 1 each for SuSE 7, Red Hat 6, and Mandrake 9 PPC. Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

[PATCH] version 6 of Dillo tab patch now available!
by Frank de Lange July 27, 2003

July 27, 2003

Hej! I have released version 6 of my tabs patch for Dillo. Head for the patch website (geocities... start your junkbusters and privoxies...) and grab it while it is fresh. The patch was made against 20030723 CVS. Notable improvements include: - the mystery of the disappearing full_screen_off_button is solved, it now stays put. Turns out the dw_gtk_scrolled_window does not show (or raise?) the button when needed. (Sebastian, can you confirm this?). Solved it by hiding, then showing the button explicitly. - worked around (what I consider to be) a bug in dw_gtk_scrolled_window which caused a Gdk-CRITICAL warning about a non-existing window (the widget should check if the window exists/has been mapped before it tries to set a cursor for it. Or am I wrong?). The workaround consists of an explicit gtk_widget_map() call on the docwin in commands.c:480 - backspace now goes back ONE step in history, as it should... No known issues this time... Please... test this patch, and tell me what works/what does not/what you want to see changed... The patch does not just give Dillo tab functionality, it also provides a framework for implementing frames (no pun intended) by separating 'document' from 'interface' code. So, the sooner it is in CVS, the better... As always, you can disable the tab functionality with --disable-tabs. You'll still gain the focus improvements and the shift-click functionality, as well as the document/interface separation.

I understand. BTW, I gave a hand at trying to hunt the bug, and reduced the HTML page to reproduce it (attached), but it also requires a customized slow.c (also attached; it sends by bytes instead of chunks and allows changing the speed). A simple: ...slow?/tmp/b2.html will do. The bug has to do with the new way of handling NOWRAP.

It also needs polishing before end users can play with it. One way to solve this problem is to tag current CVS as 0.7.3-rc1, and then upload the truckload of changes that 0.8.0-pre has. Then you can freely work on fixing the bug on 0.7.3-rc1, and when that's done we release 0.7.3 to the public. That way, I can finally let our developers play with 0.8.0-pre from CVS. You get out of the release pressure, and the only thing to be done after 0.7.3 is ready, is to forward port the fixes to CVS (currently 0.8.0-pre is up to date with 0.7.3 CVS). The other goodie that comes from making a 0.7.3 release is that as a long time has passed since our last release, not making this intermediate one would put a lot of pressure on 0.8.0's timeline. Sounds good for you? Best Jorge.-

Hi All, Is there any speculation on when Dillo will be frame ready? I would love to use Dillo for Squirrelmail. Thanks, -- ~~~Pete~~~ http://milneweb.com http://nomorevirus.com

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 18:12:36 +0000 From: d4RK <darkiron(a)tiscali.fr> To: Jorge <jcid(a)softhome.net> Subject: Excellent work... Dillo: the ***fast*** browser I was awaiting for ... No boring stuff like other browsers, all is so simple and easy-to-use! I just come to compile the last version (0.7.2) with a customized toolbar (pixmaps.jg.h), this is now PERFECT :) I don't find u really have to add something (even if I need Javascript for online shopping sometimes, & I've to launch another browser ;) POST-IT: just a remark about the PNG support, and the alpha channel: once the browser has loaded the picture, if it's used again -on a different zone- the background (which should be 'transparent') remains with the first background color...a cache pb? LAST WORD: Thank u !!!!

I've got a 486 DX4 75Mhz , 24Mo RAM, 3Go HD, on a 640x480 TFT display with Debian Sid. Under Xfree 3.3.6 with the fluxbox window manager, Dillo is what i use to see the web because it's really fast even on my old laptop. I know links and lynx, but i prefer see the web with colors fonts and pictures. Dillo widgets seem to be based on GTK1.2, it's slower than lesstif but reasonnably responsive, and good looking. [...]
