I uploaded a new interim package
to my site
, source code is in the
garage repository
. The new features in 0.0.9.5 are:
Implement tap-and-hold context menu for open-link-in-new-window functionality
Check for connection status on page load and request a connection if necessary
Remember zoom level between sessions
And the accumulated list of changes since pronvit's 0.0.9 release:
Switch to
bundyo's libwebkit package
Re-implement kinetic scrolling
Make Plugins and Javascript switchable via browser UI
Implement simple save-as file download functionality
Make install script less intrusive, but require browser-daemon restart or reboot for first install
Improve browser engine chooser applet
Implement back/forward button popup menu
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out the stop button crashes so far. If you press the stop button
after
the first bytes of a page have been read but before the main resource is fully loaded, the engine is pretty likely to crash. I can't reproduce this with Tear, so it must be something with the webkit-eal code. I'm having a hard time debugging browserd in a meaningful way, any help is greatly appreciated.
Apart from the stop button, the code is pretty stable for me now, so I guess the next release will be a more official 0.0.11. Just remember to restart the browser daemon or reboot your tablet if you upgrade from pronvit's package or get any strange behaviour, and let me know how this is working for you.
