The code underwent a major rewrite: significant +parts of the codebase were ported to C++, and the rendering +engine now uses the FLTK2 library instead of GTK1. + + With regard to Dillo 0.8.6, dillo-f15f has some advantages (as +antialiasing and utf-8), and some disadvantages. The problems are +simple to solve and only need some man months to complete. When +we're there, dillo-f15f will be easily regarded as better than +the former series. + + This is release should be regarded as alpha. + + + Here's a list of some well known problems: + + * no iteration inside simple lists + * image links haven't been hooked yet + * you may experience crashes from "assert" statements from + unfinished code. + * the scrolling position is not yet updated (when following a + link, the former scroll position is kept). + * viewport scrolling is not yet optimized (takes lots of CPU) + * context menus are not yet completely hooked or activated + + * no FRAMES rendering + * no https -- read the FAQ to enable a protoype. + + +------------ +Dpi programs +------------ + + These are installed by "make install". If you don't have root +access, copy "dillo" and "dpid" to some directory in your path +and install the dpis by running "./install-dpi-local" from the +top directory (they will be installed under ~/.dillo). + + +---- +*BSD +---- + + Dillo may compile on *BSD systems; please report on this. +Please note that you'll need GNU make. + + From OpenBSD >= 3.3, gethost* calls are not thread safe. If +your dillo crashes or locks at times, just use: + + ./configure --disable-threaded-dns + + so dillo uses a single thread for name resolving. + + +------- +Solaris +------- + + Dillo may compile and run OK on Solaris but (please report): + + * use gmake (a symbolic link make -> gmake works OK) + + Solaris is very inconsistent so you may need to add/remove: + + -lrt -lposix4 + + at link time. + + +Jorge.- +(jcid@dillo.org) +Sep 30, 2007 |
