Progress on porting to FLTK2?
Hello, I became interested in Dillo a while back and even made some small contributions and helped fix some bugs, but I was eventually disuaded by the fact that Dillo uses GTK+. I was happy when I heard that Dillo would be ported to FLTK. Has there been any progress on this? I would like to start contributing again, but I have not seen anything other than a few mailing list posts in the archive and a mention of it on the "Current Plans" page. -Roberto -- Roberto C.

hi, i'm having trouble getting cookies to work for me. the trouble i'm having is that i just can't stay logged into some forums in which i participate. for example, i have "ubuntuforums.org ACCEPT" in my cookiesrc file. if i go do something else in that smae instance of dillo and then come back to ubuntu, again in that smae instance of dillo, i find myself no longer logged in to ubuntu forums. how can i solve this? thanks, mike

In terms of cookies, "ubuntuforums.org" is not the same as ".ubuntuforums.org". If that doesn't make a difference, share precisely which version of dillo you use, and precisely which url you access, and there'll be a better chance of reproducing the problem.

The port to FLTK is advancing. Slowly, but advancing. The main problem is lack of funds -> lack of time. I've received requests/questions from several enterprises, but they still haven't commited to help us with funds. Except for the notable exception of Time of Mind Marketing Ltd. We're considering options with Sebastian, and maybe a dual license scheme could raise some funds. Who knows? We have little time left to try it though. The source tree is still not ready for CVS, and I hope that day to come. If we can't find a way to fund the project I'll have no other option than to leave the project. -- Cheers Jorge.-

I can not help with funds, but i can adduce a part of mi time. [...]

I want to help, with my limited coding skills, to get the code ready for CVS. How can i do that?

At this point, it is mainly deeply complex matters in Dillo Widget (dw) and FLTK2 interaction, that are in development process (and after that, their related bindings) is what keeps Dillo from CVS. One thing that's independent and that you can help us with is with a preferences file parser. At some point we'll get rid of glib so the parser needs a rewrite. A very simple parser, not as complex as the current. This is roughly: variable=<string-value> pairs and e.g. url=http://foo.bar/here title="Hi there" // Double quoted font_factor=1.2 // let conversion later #<comments> with some spelling error checking. Another one is to replace the g_string_* functions, but I have some code for that. Just need to search my harddisk! ;) -- Cheers Jorge.-

Ok, i have see that code yet for a preferences.dpi(it must show and allow changes in rc files with a html UI when finished, the code is too dirty to show now) that i write when i have time and mood. Rewrite parser seems easy to me.

variable=<string-value> pairs and e.g. url=http://foo.bar/here title="Hi there" // Double quoted font_factor=1.2 // let conversion later

I think i can do that too, pass me the code if you want :)
