Hi,
Now that dillo 0.8.1 is done, I want to clarify what happened with the Tabs/Frames/KeybNav patch. Sometime has passed since, but at the time we decided to not stir an already ungrateful situation.
I'm very sorry to read this thread. It has this "deja vue". Something that comes on and on in open source software. Splits and forks. If by one side the reason may be evident, on the other side the effect is that resources spread and many projects either die or remain understaffed for the potential they have. I often hope that addition could be worked in into the main tree and maybe chosen at configure time (I'm thinking again of a motif or other backend like Amaya or VIM did) or they could be 'officially' forked, like mozilla, firefox and camino. This can ensure a tigher collaboration, like in the case of those three browsers, the core engine updates I don't think dillo should have tabbed browsing and I see keyboard navigation as a secondary feature, but Frames is something that is needed for serious navigation. Not that I like frames, but they happen to be popluar and in some circumstances they can be smart even for minimalist webdesign. That is my 2cents. Riccardo
