+
+Hi!
+
+Just a few words: The most important task is now to make 0.4.0
+stable, but in future there will also be a few enhancements, in speed
+and code structure (both esp. in dw_page.c).
+
+Livio, I tried to answer your question, but my mail got lost twice:

+
+There are the signal functions "enter_notify" and "leave_notify"
+which should be used for this. Just insert your code into
+Dw_image_enter_notify and Dw_image_leave_notify.
+
+Sebastian
+
+PS: Bugs No. 1002 and 1003 are no segfaults, I just forgot to change
+the menus in the form.

+Er, just one, really. How will it actually be easier to implement tables and
+frames with the changes than without?

+
+Hi there!
+
+
+It's been a long time without any posts, but dillo has
+continued evolving silently!
+
+The good news is that finally the new widget set (DwWidget),
+by Sebastian, is available from CVS. It is not yet the main
+branch, but we're strongly working to that goal. Just review the
+updated web site and you'll find the details.
+
+We need all our developing efforts concentrated in making this
+new branch, as stable and featured as dillo-0.3.1 in order to
+make a new release based upon it.
+
+The new DwWidget will be the base for TABLE and FRAME support.
+
+
+Any questions?, just ask!
+

+
+Yes, documentation is a big need because it constitutes

+it will be the right moment to try the integration.

+
+Well, my plan for the integration/polishing process is to
+freeze dillo development into a bux-fixing state (no new-feature
+additions), and try to work out the new Dw until it supports the
+same functionallity (or more) of the 0.3.1 release.
+
+Obviously we need the new-Dw to be potentially capable of
+undertaking all the required functionallity before we start
+merging.
+
+The idea behind this is to keep a single development branch (we
+have little manpower and past experiences had shown that is
+better to keep focused on a single tree...), and to emerge with a
+new source tree that includes the new-Dw and also provides the
+older features with at least the same stability degree that 0.3.1
+has now (that's the way I replaced the whole IO engine, the whole
+cache system, and also the way the new internal layers got into
+the code!).
+
+Once we start with this, we'll all be working the CVS tree
+(You and I with write access), and you reviewing the patches (if
+you accept, of course).
+
+On the coordination effort, I can easily set a new bug-track
+for the CVS branch, so once we finish producing the 0.4.0 release
+we can get back into the older one.
+
+Up to this point, the key questions are:
+
+Is the new Dw able to handle all the current functionallity?
+Is the new-Dw potentially able to handle tables and frames?
+Is it faster or slower than the current one?
+Do you foresee any problems if we start now?
+Is the documentation ready?
+Do you feel like taking responsibility for patch reviewing and
+integration for Dw related code, at least at this integration
+stage?
+
+
+Needless to say, I feel very motivated with this effort and I
+only hope that our scarce, but very appreciated developers join
+us in this big step!
+
+
+Sincerely
+Jorge.-

+[Dillo-dev]New bug-track
+
+From: Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid@em...> - 2001-01-10 23:36
+
+Hi,
+
+I just finished porting the bug-track to python and moving it
+to sourceforge; I hope this results in better response times for
+everyone.
+
+You may experiment some problems due to intermediate network
+caches. If you receive a message saying that the requested url
+doesn't exist (for a cgi), a simple reload of the previous page
+solves it! i.e. a single reload of the three links in Dbugtrack
+will solve the problem forever.
+
+Unfortunately, dillo does not perform end-to-end reload
+(BUG-64), so you'll need lynx or anyother to do the reloads. Once
+this is done you can keep using dillo.
+
+BTW: Bug-64 is very easy to hack-fix (a few sprinkled lines),
+but the plan is to fix the URL data-passing scheme with a view to
+have the required basis to solve a bunch of related problems
+(We are working with Livio on it).
+
+
+Jorge.-

+
+Hi there!
+
+
+I hope you had enjoyed your Christmas and New year festivities.
+For those of us that remeain tuned (not on vacation yet), I would
+like to remind that dillo-0.3.1 was released and that its ready
+for download at the regular place.
+
+Well, it seems that this 2001 year has troubled computers a bit
+more than the so publicited Y2k. Some servers are working partly
+and frankly I don't know if our mailing list is up. BTW: I
+haven't received mail from developers since Dec 2000...
+Particularly, I want to contact Sebastian (I wrote hime twice
+before this mailing-list-try).
+
+Sourceforge still has problems with hit counters (page and
+downloads), but everything else seems fine.
+
+
+Cheers
