Please test the latest build
Hello, Please could you test the latest builds (5377 or later) from: https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/ Particularly please test the Amiga OS4 and RISC OS builds as we have updated the versions of 3rd party libraries that we build against. Amiga OS4 builds have had about 3 years worth of updates and RISC OS builds about 1.5 years. In addition we have patched the version of libcurl we build against which should make HTTPS connections much faster for the RISC OS and Amiga OS4 builds.

The star is a hotlist/bookmarks/favorites toggle.
The favicon is either a website-specific icon, or if none is provided,
the NetSurf content icon should be used as a fallback:

Re: Dragging from URL icon
This is all getting very confusing. For what it's worth, this is the target behaviour that NetSurf's aiming for, note it varies depending on whether the version of RISC OS supports text selection / C in writable icons: RISC OS with text selection support === RISC OS Versions: * RISC OS 4/6 from 4.37 onward (I think, it's been a while.) * RISC OS 5 from 5.28 onward Dragging the URL text should perform text selection, and you should be able to cut/copy/paste the text with Ctrl+X/C/V. Dragging the favicon should drag-save the whole URL. RISC OS without text selection support == RISC OS Versions: * RISC OS 2/3/4 up to 4.37 * RISC OS 5 up to 5.28. Dragging the favicon or the actual URL text should drag-save the whole URL. If that's not happening, it's not as intended, however, we'll need a RISC OS developer to fix it for us.

Not completely. Ideally if you're on a version of the OS that supports text selection in writable icons, a URL drag should select text. It needs a RISC OS developer to make any sense of it, however.

Yes, exactly. It's a way to make conditionalise the application of groups of CSS rules. So you can give elements different CSS properties depending on, for example, the width of the window. Here's a trivial example. It will show "large", "medium", or "small" depending on the width of the page. http://test.netsurf-browser.org/html/mq.test.html Note, in NetSurf we don't support dynamic changes to the computed style yet, so as you change the width of the window, you'll need to click reload to see the effect.

Please try the latest build
Hello, Could people please test build #4403 or later? (Or build from latest master, if you compile from source.) https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/ We are close to making a release, and would like to check that nothing is broken. I am particularly interested to hear from anyone who can run the following platforms: - Amiga - Atari - Haiku - RISC OS - Windows We have just changed the way that HTTP authentication works, so I would be grateful if people could check that anything that requires an HTTP basic auth login still works with the latest build. If you don't know any sites which use HTTP authentication, you can use: https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/foo/bar (Where "foo" is the username, and "bar" is the password, and you can change the "correct" username and password by changing the URL.) However, testing with real-world sites is better. Please try entering the incorrect credentials, the correct credentials, and canceling the login, by closing the login window. Note: the Windows build doesn't yet support HTTP auth, so for that platform, I'm just looking for a general indication of whether the browser functions.

It's because of this SVG being used as a tiled background on the HTML element: http://php.net/images/bg-texture-00.svg Since its an SVG it bypasses all the optimisations we have for tiled bitmap redraw. It also isn't a filled rectangle, its just strokes, so it doesn't get "knocked out" by our normal rendering optimisations. Finally it uses opacity, which wouldn't help either, although I think we ignore that anyway for now. It could potentially be optimised by pre-rendering it once to a bitmap, but it would be a fair amount of effort for what is a pretty uncommon case. For now, I'd try just toggling background images off in the menu for that window, and forcing a redraw (F12, Return). http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/guide.html#BrowserWindowMenuDisplayImages Hope that helps, -- Michael Drake https://www.codethink.co.uk/

I'm wondering if Netsurf CSS supports these commands (if that's the

Supported: display:table

The min-content value for width is just at editors draft stage.
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-3/
So it's subject to change, and not standardized yet. As the
mozilla documentation says, it shouldn't be used in production
code.
The third idea uses table:caption; caption-side:bottom; -- again,
does Netsurf support it? In my attempts the caption lands at the
right of the picture, not beneath it. (See "tablecaption-X.html".)
NetSurf doesn't support table captions.
As for how I'd do it, I think there would be more mileage in
constraining the outer figure element with image dimensions,
rather than the image.
Something like (untested, and requiring polish):
figure {
display: block;
width: 33%;
max-width: 400px;
min-width: 100px;
}
figure.left {
float: left;
}
figure.right {
float: right;
}
figure > img {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
figure > figcaption {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
Then you'd have e.g.

Finally, I don't think it's OK to override the value
to *_SET and not set appropriate values for length and unit
at the same time. When the computed value is set to *_AUTO
in the cascade it doesn't clear any values for length and
unit. So we should be them up for 0px where we override
min_height.

Otherwise it gets a bit disconcerting when you go to reopen your history/hotlist and there are only two or three entries visible, due to a search you carried out earlier and have long since finished with - particularly as the icon in question doesn't have the input focus when the window reopens, I agree, it would be better to cancel the search when the window is closed. Unfortunately the core doesn't know when the front end closes the window at the moment, so it's not straightforward to change that just yet. and clearing the old search string is a pain! Once the search field has focus, either ESC or CTRL+U should clear it. Cheers, -- Michael Drake http://www.codethink.co.uk/

Experimental treeview search feature
Hello, An experimental search feature has been added to the following: 1. Hotlist viewer (bookmarks) 2. Global history viewer 3. Cookie manager window To use it, click in the area next to the search icon at the top of the window, and start typing. It has currently only been tried under the GTK front end. It would be helpful if people could put it thoroughly through its paces. Any feedback gratefully received. Cheers, -- Michael Drake http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

Codethink sponsored work on NetSurf
Over the past few weeks I've been able to spend time contributing to open-source projects at work. Codethink [1] values open-source software, and so I was approved to work on NetSurf and related components while I was between projects. I'd like to thank Codethink for this opportunity, which I very much value and appreciate. What follows is a summary of the development I've been able to accomplish during this time. [1] http://www.codethink.co.uk/ LibCSS (CSS parsing and selection library) == * Added parsing and selection support for the CSS3 box-sizing property. NetSurf === Core: HTML layout engine * Added support for the CSS3 box-sizing property. This helps us assign element widths and heights as the web page author intended. * Extended :after pseudo element handling to cover the table display type. This improves layout of pages that use a variant of the clearfix CSS trick for clearing floats. * Fixed the handling of the CSS min-width and max-width properties to correctly affect the auto-width left and right margins. * Added support for width attribute on HR element. * Fixed use of uninitialised value in CSS presentational hint handling, that had potential to reduce the likelihood of computed style sharing. * Improved layout tree dump, to make debugging layout problems easier. Core: Content handling -- * Improved logging, making it easier to track HTML contents through a session, for debug purposes. * Removed bogus assertion in the HTML object fetch handler, which would sometimes crash the browser. * Fixed bug in content state machine, which made aborted fetches cause their contents to get stuck in the cache. This would happen on JavaScript location assignments. Core: URL handling -- * Improved file: URL handling. * Removed redundant code. * Improved hexadecimal handling. * Improved test suite. Core: Hotlist (bookmarks/favourites) * Added support for saving the hotlist automatically after entries are added or removed. This helps prevent loss of hotlist changes if NetSurf is unable to save the file on exit. * Added support for read-only hotlist mode, which can be selected by frontend code. In this mode, the hotlist file may be read, and the hotlist updated, but changes are never saved to disc. GTK frontend * Fixed bug where different pango layout contexts were used for measuring and painting text, which in some situations caused either lines with overlapping text, or large spaces between bits of text on a line. * Slight optimisation to the text line break handling code. * Rewrote bitmap rendering plotter. The new implementation is many times faster for tiled rendering, such as for repeating background images, and simplifies the handling of scaled plots. RISC OS frontend * Improved handling of external hotlist managers, by setting the core hotlist to read-only mode, when configured to use an external manager. NetSurf's JavaScript engine (Duktape) = NetSurf uses the excellent Duktape JavaScript engine. URL: http://www.duktape.org/ * Updated NetSurf and nsgenbind (our JavaScript binding generator) from Duktape 1.6 to Duktape 2.0. We had been stuck on the 1.X series due to API changes in Duktape 2, and lack of time to make the transition. Duktape 2.0 provides greater performance, amongst many other improvements. * Added support for HTML style comments (ES6 spec) to Duktape and upstreamed it to the Duktape author, Sami Vaarala. This feature had been requested by our users. * Updated NetSurf from Duktape 2.0 to the recently released Duktape 2.1, which gives further performance gains, adds the HTML stlye comment handling, and other improvements. * On the advice of the Duktape author, enabled Duktape's fastint build option, for faster integer arithmetic. LibNSGIF (GIF decoding library) === * Complete rewrite of LZW decompression. The new implementation is both 30% faster and cleaner code. It also now handles LZW codes that span three sub-blocks. (Although these are unlikely to actually appear in the real world.) LibSVGTiny (SVG decoding library) = * Build system improvements to fix warnings about use of gperf-generated code. Cheers, Michael

On 28/04/17 10:51, Michael Drake wrote: In any case, I can make it more robust by consulting the external hotlist option before removing from the hotlist. Actually it already does that, so NetSurf shouldn't be saving the hotlist when the hotlist is edited, when configured to use an external hotlist manager, however, it will still save the hotlist on exit. We could change it not to save the hotlist on exit when an external hotlist manager is used, since that would be a simple change. Adding support for querying the external hotlist about whether it has a URL and removing URLs from external requires more work, and would need a RISC OS developer. If there are any developers interested in working on the RISC OS front end, they would be most welcome. None of NetSurf's core developers use RISC OS, so we have trouble maintaining and supporting it. Cheers,

I don't know, off the top of my head. I'm unfamiliar with the external hotlist option. If I have time tomorrow I could have a look at the code. As far as I can tell there are three differences in behavior when the RISC OS front end's external hotlist option is enabled: 1. Opening the hotlist will Filer_Run the external application, rather than opening the NetSurf hotlist manager window. 2. The hotlist_has_url test always returns false for external hotlists. (Meaning the star in the URL bar will always be an empty outline, rather than filled yellow, even when the current page is in the external hotlist.) 3. When adding pages to the hotlist, NetSurf's core hotlist code isn't informed. This means that the NetSurf won't save the file when adding URLs. So NetSurf won't save the hotlist file when adding pages, and set to use an external hotlist manager. It looks like the RISC OS front end code for removing pages from the hotlist first checks whether the core hotlist has the page, and if it does, it instructs the NetSurf core hotlist to remove it, rather than the external application. The remove from hotlist handling has no code to tell an external hotlist to remove pages. This means that if this code is called, and the the core hotlist had the URL, it will remove it, which will cause NetSurf to save the hotlist file. I can't remember exactly how the RISC OS UI presents the interface for removing pages from the hotlist. It might have been select clicking on a filled URL bar star, or adjust clicking on a URL bar star, or something else. If the former, then because of point 2 above, it would not let the remove page code get called in the first place, so the file wouldn't get saved. In any case, I can make it more robust by consulting the external hotlist option before removing from the hotlist. Cheers,

The first was an assertion (crash) that could occur during HTML layout. The issue stemmed from NetSurf's allowing :before and :after pseudo elements to be generated for replaced elements. This behaviour was unspecified in CSS 2.1, but in CSS 3 it is not permitted. Second was to remove some code which was complicating the status bar updating for HTML contents. Third was to fix the object accounting that is done to keep track of fetches used for additional resources such as images when rendering an HTML content. This accounting went wrong when a fetch for an HTML content was stopped, preventing the content ever reaching the DONE state, and causing misleading status bar messages. 3bee7b7 Layout: Don't generate :before and :after boxes for replaced elements. 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) d4a01d5 HTML: Remove some status bar updating code. 4 files changed, 43 deletions(-) 04e61b7 Fix object accounting for aborted HTML contents. 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) I also did quite a bit of testing, particularly of the JavaScript related code, to ensure that there is nothing major blocking the forthcoming NetSurf 3.4 release. Overall, there were 20 commits to NetSurf through the course of this stint. Overview and thanks --- I was able to get many hours of work done on the NetSurf project over this period. It has been a very nice experience, working on this project at work. Thanks to the work environment, I found myself more focused than I usually am when I'm working on it in my spare time.

Re: Not enough application memory to start Basic
On 14/06/14 13:48, David Pitt wrote: All the NetSurf needs to run its cache is a value for Cache$Dir pointing to the chosen location. Indeed. The original proposal for Cache by Rob Kendrick[1] simply set two variables in its !Run file. These were: Caches$Write - Expands to where you should write new cache data Caches$Path - Expands to where you should read cached data We recently decided to make use of !Cache as we assumed it would be suitable and correct. (None of the core developers are actually using RISC OS at the moment, so we hadn't checked it actually worked.) Looking at the content of the supplied !Cache it seems to contain a lot of extra stuff and unexpected complexity. As shipped, it currently looks like this: !Cache/ !Cache/!Boot,feb !Cache/!Help,feb !Cache/!Run,feb !Cache/!RunImage,ffb !Cache/!Sprites22,ff9 !Cache/!Sprites,ff9 !Cache/Caches !Cache/Caches/Blank !Cache/Caches/Single !Cache/Caches/Single/MimeMan !Cache/Caches/Single/MimeMan/MimeBase,ffd !Cache/Caches/Single/MimeMan/PluginMime,ffd !Cache/Resources !Cache/Resources/MultiError,ffb !Cache/Resources/ResFind,ffb !Cache/Resources/UK !Cache/Resources/UK/Help !Cache/Resources/UK/Messages !Cache/Resources/UK/!Meta !Cache/Resources/UK/Templates,fec While we'd expect something like: !Cache/ !Cache/!Boot,feb !Cache/!Help,feb !Cache/!Run,feb !Cache/!Sprites,ff9 !Cache/!Sprites22,ff9 !Cache/Caches We can either create our own !Caches that behaves as we expect, or we can try to get the upstream !Cache fixed and continue to use that. Although !Cache does seem over-complex; I'm not sure why it needs a !RunImage, for example. Also, whichever we choose, we should move the RUfl cache to the persistent cache, rather than storing it in Scrap.

If you give some clues as to how to test it, some of us may be able to give feedback :-) Thanks, but I think it's already been tested enough to show it doesn't work, as it stands. You should be able to put it in !Boot without it throwing up errors or having other side-effects. Our options are to get Cache from http://www.snowstone.org.uk/riscos/ fixed, and continue using it, or create our own simpler solution. Steve Fryatt: any thoughts on this?

Fixed: BBC Sport overlapping content
At the recent RISC OS show in Wakefield, someone pointed out to me that we were making a mess of the BBC Sport site, and I said I'd post here once I'd got around to fixing it. The problem was that BBC was using the overflow-x property from CSS3 and neither LibCSS or NetSurf supported that. (We only supported the overflow property.) So LibCSS has been updated to support overflow-x and overflow-y, and so has NetSurf. The original overflow property is now a shorthand that sets both overflow-x and overflow-y. Cheers,

CSS selection speedup
Recent development builds now use an updated version of our libcss library. It makes a significant optimisation to the amount of time NetSurf spends applying CSS rules to document elements to discover their style. The improvement is in NetSurf CI builds from #1508 onward. For more details about the change to libcss and profiling results, see this posting: http://vlists.pepperfish.net/pipermail/netsurf-dev-netsurf-browser.org/2013-December/003230.html -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
Summary of recent changes
Here is a brief list of the main changes made to NetSurf's core code since the release of NetSurf 3.0: + Choices behaviour improvement - Now only saves options which differ from the defaults. + about:config improved - Visiting about:config shows which settings were modified by the user. + Textarea undo/redo - Supports keyboard shortcuts to undo/redo changes made in textareas. - The shortcut keys are platform dependent. + Rewritten treeviews [*] - Faster (especially application startup time). - Fixes rendering glitches. - Improved new look. - Nicer behaviour. - Keyboard navigation. - Treeview clients rewritten for new treeview: - Hotlist - Global history - Cookie manager - SSL certificate viewer - Several bugs fixed, e.g. cookie delete. + Hotlist has default folder [*] - New additions go into the default folder, rather than into root. - Default folder has different icon. + Directory listing of file: URLs - Improved sort to fix File1, File10, File2. - Icons shown for folder/file differentiation. + Several leaks squashed - Memory leaks in various places in NetSurf fixed. - Reference counting leaks in LibDOM fixed. + URL bar hotlist indicator [*] - Indicator shows whether current URL is in the Hotlist. - Click to add/remove from hotlist. + LibCSS speedup - Faster handling of CSS selection. [*] Core change also requires front end updates which may or may not have happened for any given platform. I've left out all purely front end developments. Please test the latest development builds and let us know how you get on. Cheers, -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
