Current Changelog looks like this: + +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +dillo-0.2.2 [July ?, 2000] + +- * Added a gtk_window_set_wmclass to all windows to prevent dialogs +from having the same size as the main window. (Ex: with Sawfish) +Patch Jörgen Viksell <vsksga@ho...> +- * Fixed a segfault when calling "about:" method +Patch: Dominic Wong <lwong@ch...> +- * Added an option to force dillorc-defined colors (Try it with slashdot!) +* Fixed display of encoded-URL-links on the status bar +Patches: Adam Sampson <azz@gn...> +- * Removed several compiler dependencies +(detected with lcc on a 64 bit machine) +* Modified mime.c and Url.c to use list.h, and eliminated hdlr.c +* Standarized unsigned types to glib all around the code +* Added some includes for libc5 compatibility +* Modified IO_callback to avoid a CPU-hog (it happened in some systems). +* Fixed a bug that added a trailing ampersand to GET and POST queries. +* FIxed attribute parsing. It had nasty side effects; as providing +wrong attribute values to POST and GET methods. +* Joined Url.c and url.c into a single module. +* Reimplemented URL resolving functions. +* Implemented a new parser for "file:" URLs (Try "file:" & "file:."). +Patches: Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid@ma...> +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + +If you read it carefully, you'll notice several improvements, +most notably: + +- POST & GET work better (google search is working!). +- "file:" URLs got better handled. +- slashdot is readable. +- The code got more "portable" and stable. + + +I'd like to include Jörgen patches too (if they get finished): + +> I have been working on getting checkbuttons and radiobuttons to render +> properly, and it works now. Strangely enough it works when you call +> gtk_toggle_button_set_mode(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(widget), FALSE), even though +> this is supposed to be set by default... + +Maybe due to a lack of a window for the button widget. +This happened with the horizontal ruler, and the first attempt +to fix it, by packing it into an event box, worked OK. +I'm not sure though, just a thing to check. + +> What bugs me now is that radio buttons appears as squares instead of +> diamond-shaped. +> I also worked on the SELECT stuff (width and height of the clist widget) +> which now seems to work. + +If you finish them please let me know. + + +- o - + +Dominic asks: + +> I have some questions about dillo. I find one dillo task in the task list +> when open nothing. But if I open a web page, one more dillo appear in my task +> list. Thus, two dillo in the task list. With top, I find both of them +> consume the same memory size. Could you tell me why? Since netscape becomes 4 +> when a web page is opened, and I wonder why it happened. + +Well, that's due to threaded code (pthreads). +When dillo starts, there's just a single thread running (the +main thread). When another thread is spawned for the first time, +(due to a DNS, or local file request), TWO more threads get +running, one for the thread scheduler and other for the spawned +process. When the spawned one finishes, the thread manager +remains; if you 'ps aux | grep dillo', you'll see two processes +that consume the same memory size but THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! +Pthreads are light weight processes that run using the same +memory space as the father (one of the advantages over fork). + + +- o - + +CscHTML: + +Certainly to be taken into account. +When I first downloaded it, found almost no documentation for +it, appart from 350Kb of code and library dependencies. + +Haven't tested the speed yet. + +The biggest concern is the cost of making the widget change, +and the loose of control over the rendering. Currently we have a +widget set that needs moderate work to start handling tables (and +that's lean, fast and already integrated to our browser). + +I think if we manage to provide a basic TABLE facility with Dw, +developers will start to work together improving it. The +advantage of having small, documented code is a nicer learning +curve that lets developers jump-in quickly. +BTW our main documentation fault is on Dw (dillo widget); any +contribution will be highly appreciated. :-) + +On the other hand, if we fail to improve Dw, the change is +almost forced (if possible). + +This remains an open issue. + + +Jorge.- + +Ps: Thanks for reading this far. +Ps2: Jörgen, I'll send you an email to your hotmail address, at +the same time I send this one to the list, please let me +know if you receive it (I've had problems with hotmail.com). + + + +[Dillo-dev]CSCHTML widget + +From: <bigdaddy@ll...> - 2000-06-26 18:00 + +Check this out +http://www.cscmail.net/cschtml/ + +this appears to be a GTK widget with _all_ html tags. I haven't done +extensive research into this, but this could be huge.
