Although this message is a reply to Mr Wild *everyone* should read it and understand what I am saying. I will endeavour to be as clear as I can be. If that comes across as overly abrupt I apologise but before any additional misunderstanding occurs I wish to make these points clear. * The Continuous Integration (CI) builds are produced for the NetSurf Developers. * We have chosen to make them publicly available *only* as a courtesy to our users. * The prominent and clear warning in the big orange box [1] is there for a reason, please read what it says. If you disagree its not open for discussion, simply do not use the builds! * The CI builds are *NOT* in any way, whatsoever, at all (can I make this more emphatic?) to be considered a usable release or something stable. If a build happens to work and not explode you are fortunate. * We are happy to accept reports of issues on these builds as long as full and concise information is provided in the report. A patch to fix the problem is more than welcome (do discuss it with the developers first - we may have already fixed it). * Opinion on what steps we should or ought to take to resolve an issue is best kept to yourself, especially if you have not understood the above points. * If these simple guidelines are ignored or argued over we will have to reconsider the open access policy FOR CI BUILDS (before anyone misquotes me). In summary: These builds are a debugging tool for the NetSurf developers which you can choose to use if you wish, as long as you understand they are in no way a release. If you find a bug reporting it clearly and concisely is fine patches very welcome and opinion is not useful. In this case: A report that the additional resources mentioned in the readme were missing (which is now fixed BTW) would have been fine. The exact version used and other information would have been nice to have. That was where it should have been left and now I have clarified the purpose of these builds I assume that in future the issue will not arise again.

front end: RISC OS OS version:5.18 problem: freeze while scrolling through http://www.independent.co.uk/ download file: netsurf-2012-09-28_19-54-37/zip Note that POPstar was not running - so no clash with other fetchers. So far freezes seem to happen after just the slightest scrolling down the page; sometimes after quite lengthy and varied browsing, sometimes, as in this case, on the first page opened (so doubtful if any gc can have taken place). This apparent randomness gives me the hunch that it has something to do with buffers being allocated where they should not be, but maybe such a comment is unhelpful without any evidence.

The following bytes were arranged on 29 Sep 2012 by Michael Drake : It would help us if people could test the new builds and let us know how you get on. I've tried everything suggested in this thread to make this RO5.19 ARMini crash, including fetching email (though with AntiSpam 1.63, not Hermes) and logging into the ROOL site. It stubbornly refused to crash for about two hours, until suddenly the mouse pointer froze after clicking on a Google Groups link (from a list of Google search results). Given that I've also had problems with the previous development version (from the old autobuilder) freezing the ARMini (not so much the Iyonix or RiscPC), I don't think you can read too much into this. + which front end (e.g. RISC OS, Amiga, etc) RISC OS. + which version of the OS 5.19 (16-May-12) + whether there was a problem Infinite loop with interrupts disabled. what was happening when it went wrong Nothing in particular, especially not reported triggers like NewsHound. + what the download file name of the NetSurf version you tried was 2012-09-28_19-54-37 -- __^__ Your pet, our passion. - Purina / _ _ \ Your potential, our passion. - Microsoft, a few months later ( ( |_| ) ) \_ _/ === Martin Bazley ==

It appears this cycle has now gone round for a fourth time. I've never had problems of this scale with any other site. Whatever andyfanton.com does, NetSurf really doesn't like it! In the interests of preventing this regression occurring a fifth time, perhaps 'Jenkins' could be amended to make sure NetSurf can cope with a fetch and display of that specific page?
