<h1>Dillo release 3.1.0-rc1</h1>
<i>Updated on 2024-04-11</i>
<h2>Summary of changes</h2>
<p><em><b>Note:</b> The 3.1.0-rc1 is a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_candidate">release
candidate version</a> intended for early testers.
The stable release 3.1.0 will be released in a few weeks if there are no
more issues.
</em></p>
<p>Since the last release 3.0.5 from 2015 a lot of things have happened to the
Dillo project. Here is a short timeline to put things into perspective:</p>
<ul>

<li>On 2017, the development stopped.</li>
<li>On 2019, the last email from Jorge Arellano Cid, the lead
developer of Dillo,
<a href="https://groups.google.com/g/dillo/c/UQ1nWyMa3yo/m/07qhu9KqAgAJ">was
recorded by the mailing list</a>.</li>
<li>On 2022, the domain <code>dillo.org</code> <a href="dillo.org.html">was
lost</a>.</li>
<li>On 2024, an
<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38847613">attempt to
resurrect the project</a> began by Rodrigo
Arias Mallo.</li>
</ul>
<p>This release contains a lot of changes accumulated from the 2015-2017 period,
as well as fixes and small features introduced in 2024. Here is a summary:
<ul>
<li>Add support for floating HTML elements, which involved a big redesign.</li>
<li>Add support for OpenSSL, LibreSSL and mbed TLS for HTTPS.</li>
<li>Add a CI pipeline to build Dillo on Ubuntu, MacOS, FreeBSD and
Windows (via cygwin).</li>
