Hi,
Any idea of when we can expect to see an initial release? From your
description it sounds like we're ready for at least an alpha release.
Not a
lot of regular users like using SVN (I say this because I'm one of
them).
Well I sort of expected such a question, but first of all SWK will
currently compile only against SVN GNUstep, this is why I didn't
release any beta tarballs to people, since it won't compile.
Also there are still some problems because on some platforms I have I
get bad crashes but not on others.
If you don't run SVN you can run nightly tarballs, You find both core
and dev-libs, were simplewebkit is.
All in all, this is great! Even if SWK does not load CSS and JS, at
least
we can now browse the internet using native GNUstep apps. I once
spent a
really long time using Dillo, seems SWK is where it's rendering
engine is,
which is just great!
As much as I am a fan of it, I can't use it for regular browsing
myself. We lacked history up to yesterday (and I couldn't test it yet
on GNUstep for some silly reasons probably). But maybe the other
limiting factor is lack of form action handling, you can't use any
search engine because of that...
I will make a Vespucci release only when there is a SWK release.
Either can be "beta" but it needs a bit more polish. You can't imagine
how much people complain even for the silliest things, even if it is
stated that everything is just little more than a technology preview.
