Dillo web browser
===================
-Dillo-3.0 is the first release of the newest branch, which is
-based on the already released fltk-1.3 toolkit. This is big news
-because it clears the way for Dillo to return to those
-distributions which had excluded Dillo2 due to FLTK2 never
-being officially released.
+Dillo is a multi-platform graphical web browser, known for its
+speed and small footprint, that is developed with a focus on
+personal security and privacy.
-The development effort shifted to the dillo-3.x branch long ago,
-and it became the active one; dillo-2.x received less and less
-attention, and dillo-2.2.1 became the last of its series.
+The dillo3 series uses version 1.3.x of the FLTK GUI toolkit
+(http://fltk.org).
-The core team will focus on implementing the CSS feature of
-floating elements. This will greatly improve dillo's web page
-rendering since many sites have adopted floats instead of tables.

-The new dillo3 has shown excellent stability.
+The core team currently plans to focus on implementing the CSS
+feature of floating elements. This will greatly improve
+dillo's web page rendering since many sites have adopted floats
+instead of tables.
The core team welcomes developers willing to join our workforce.
NOTE: With FLTK-1.3, when running on X with Xft enabled (the
-default), font naming is more restricted than it was with FLTK2.
-If your font_* preferences are no longer working well, please try
-the fc-list command as given in dillorc.
