Point taken.
I'll get in contact with them.
The background is: they've changed plans several times. We got in very close contact before going with F2, and they said it was to be released real soon (as now with F1.3 and F3). Five years later F2 is dead and we're out of distros.
At some point they reached consensus and decided to push F1.3 forward, and it's being moving at good pace. Hopefully with a release in this quarter.
I agree that having F3 with F2's API would be the best. The doubt is when will this happen if ever.
At this point I'm half-tempted to throw together an API wrapper myself, just so we can have something and save ourselves the trouble of rewriting Dillo (again). As an aside, I wish just one of the major toolkits would get its act together; we all know about GTK+, and I'm still using Qt 3 because 4.x is such a mess. It's sad when coding directly against native APIs -- Win32, Cocoa, pure Xlib -- is almost the more attractive option. ~Benjamin
