How do I tell exactly which sub-version of Dillo is running? I was running Dillo 0.7.1 and it crashed when I tried to save a bookmark. I wanted to be sure I had the latest Dillo before reporting the problem. I see that Dillo 0.7.1 has two sub-versions, 0.7.1.1 anmd 0.7.1.2. When I downloaded and extracted the latest tarball the resulting executable only shows 0.7.1 for the --version option.
My requests are both based on my experience with the Opera browser. First, is it difficult to change Dillo so that I can copy-and-paste text from the browser window? I find it very handy to copy text from a web page to paste into a document, or an email, or whatever. Second, I really find Opera's mouse gestures for going forward and back very handy. To go to the previous page (back) you hold down the right mouse button and click the left button. To go forward you hold down the left mouse button and click the right button. With a little practice you can move back and forth between pages very quickly.
I'm not sure how to find the exact subversion, but the difference between 0.7.1.1 and 0.7.1.2 is apparently only a few lines. I have never had dillo crash with bookmarks, but my bookmarks are still unreliable - as dillo matures this will get better (I hope - I am not a developer ;) ). As for cut & paste, I have never used a version of dillo, but there is a cut & paste patch against CVS (Or, it is already in CVS?) In summary, The bookmarks problem exists in the actual bm server (afaik), and cut & paste is comming. As for mouse gestures, I can't see that happening soon... I'd rather see ftp support and frames :).
