It's a 98%-new + thread-based (pthreads), non-blocking stable design. The good news is + that it allows gdb debugging and compatibility with libc5 systems; two + major features that were missing with the former scheme. </li> + + <li> Designed a <A href="NC_design.html">Naming&Coding standard</A> + for the project. </li> + + <li> Introduced an interactive bug-track engine at the Web site. It allows + developers and testers to coordinate their efforts, and also serves as + an information center on project status. </li> + + <li> Introduced other interactive pages that helped to coordinate particular + tasks (as stage 1 of the Naming&Coding effort).</li> + + <li> Introduced the layered Naming&Coding design into the the source + tree (up to stage 1).<br> It helps developers to easily understand + Dillo's internal function calls, and to figure it out quickly where + they came from. It also provides a two layer ADT (Abstract Data Type) + that serves as an all around lib (when prefixed 'a_') and as a module + lib (when prefixed with the module name).<br> It also provides a + framework that supports concurrent developing. + <!-- <br> You can check stage 1 log <a href="Dname.html">here</a>. --> </li> + + <li> Completed stage 2 of the Naming&Coding effort.

(dpi). + <li>Wrote a dpi-program for bookmarks. + <li>Implemented Copy&Paste! (aka. Text selection) + + <li>Introduced a new way of handling dillo plugins! Now the + communications and managing is done by a daemon: dpid. + This comes with a lot of advantages described in Dpid.txt. + <li>Developed a plugin for downloads. It uses wget and can handle + several connections at the same time. + <li>Developed a plugin for FTP. + <li>Made an example plugin (hello), and + started developing the https plugin. + <li>Adapted the generic parser to make HTML error detection, providing + the line number and a hint (expected tag) in the error message! + -- this feature is also known as the <em>bug meter</em>. + <li>Added a context sensitive popup menu for images. + <li>Made even more portability enhancements. + <li>Made significant improvements to the HTML parser.
