Hi, dillo-0.8.1-pre2.tar.bz2 works nice here on DragonFly-BSD. The new handling of unknown MIME types is really a great addition. Just one little thing: When canceling from the save dialog, the stop-button stays clickable. Shouldn't it get greyed out?

Hi there!
It took a long time, but finally, dillo-0.8.1-pre2.tar.bz2 is ready for download.
The problem was that the patch for the problem of left-clicking an unhandled MIME type involved changes, inside the cache module, that were not trivial.
I pondered the situation carefully trying to decide whether to make the patch and delay the next release, or leave it for 0.8.2. After studying the situation and developing a patch, important changes were made in the cache (for instance all the cached URLs use new code now, and the main scheduler was also changed, and the posibility of deleting an active URL-transfer was made possible).
After all that, it only remained to offer a download dialog for the aborted transfer, and as the patch was already major, I went ahead and the result was one of those improvements you can't leave out.
What does it do? well, now you can left-click on any URL; if it happens to be of an unhandled MIME type, the transfer is aborted, and a download dialog appears to offer the possibility of saving the resource locally. Simple and clean. Now you can click carelessly on those fake-download links from SF until you reach the real source ;).
The tradeoff: the possibility of labelling this release as "beta stable" is not as clear as before. This tarball requires plenty of testing, so please download it and give it a hard time!
Any use of the browser serves, specially testing the new download feature and multiple windows at the same time.
Get it from:

and report back to dillo-dev.
Cheers Jorge.-
PS: Kudos are also welcome! ;)
