Uh-oh. Newer versions might be usable without much trouble - if they are ever released! Mozilla declared some months back they have no intention of continuing to release an embedable version of Gecko at all. That's one of the major reasons that Xiphos just completed moving from Xul to WebKit! There is a wx edition of WebKit, made by a guy who had started with a wx embedding of Gecko before that was given up as futile. If Gecko/Xul ceases being good enough for you or stops updating, that might be a direction worth considering in the future. It's been underway for quite some time, but I have no idea how mature it has ever become. It was originally started by one of the main wxHTML developers who saw that wxHTML was woefully inadequate. --Greg > > Jon > >> >> >> --Greg >> >> On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 10:01 AM, Jonathan Morgan <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Hi all, >> > >> > I have just released BPBible 0.5.
