I think I figured out the reason for those crashes, so I
uploaded a new version
of my webkit-eal webkit engine for the default browser. New features include:
Reimplemented kinetic scrolling, pretty similar to the one in pronvit's 0.0.10
Simple file download functionality, no download manager yet, just a save-as dialog
Improved and better looking engine selector applet
More conservative install scripts that is less likely to cause crashes, but you have to reboot or manually restart tablet-browser-daemon if you install for the first time.
This version of webkit-eal depends on
bundyo's webkit library
. I am also providing a libwebkit package on my site, this is the exact same code as bundyo's latest package but with most optional features such as HTML 5, SVG, local storage, disabled in order to make it smaller. I don't know if there's a noticable difference, both packages will work more or less the same with webkit-eal and Tear.
Of course, there's lots of things missing still, but it's so much more fun to use than microb, and it's good enough to be my default browser engine. Many thanks to bundyo for providing libwebkit and helping me with getting it built, and tso for help with debugging, and of course to pronvit for first showing what what can be done!
