Instead of re-porting Midori (i'm not very proficient with C anyway), I decided to start more tablet oriented and lightweight Web browser based again on WebKit (I'm thinking of implementing cross-engine webkit/gecko) and written in Vala. So far so good - I have an early alpha with only base controls implemented, try it and tell me what you think (especially qole

). I'm not going to put it in Extras yet (too not working

Minor update, 0.1.2 on 01.10.2008:
Release Highlights:

GTK+ accelerators working (Full screen, Escape for back and arrows scroll)
Some menu items now work (namely new window, close one and all and the clipboard operations)
Zoom still not working (the engine in Extras doesn't support it, still trying to compile from SVN)

What it has (not much):

Works with the WebKit in Extras-devel for now.
Multi-windows.
Forward, back, refresh, go buttons, Full screen.
Hardware keys for full screen, Esc for back and arrow scroll.
Hildon interface
About dialog... Ha!

What it doesn't have:
Everything else, history and fully working menus

When you do move it to Extras, the mud-based vala & libgee ports in Extras-devel will need some work. Also, would love to see the code and try hacking on it in Valable.

Maybe it won't compile directly in Extras-devel though, since I needed to tweak the vapi's a little. UIManager wasn't working and WebKit vapi is not updated to the latest nightlies.

I'm planning a more AwesomeBar-like history/bookmark list, I'll release the code after i get this and the hardware buttons working.

Well, I rather like it. That stealth progress bar really snazzes. I suppose you don't really need a feature request/bug list yet... so I won't go on about how the shift in the stylus keyboard seems to lock, or how nice it would be to have a view source option... oops!

Anyway, great work! --this message brought to you by Tear

Another good thing is while I was at it, i ported the Scons create deb script and integrated it into my WAF wscript, so i can now generate a deb directly from WAF

WTF?!? Does anyone know why the GTK+ accelerators need to be enabled by a GConf value in order to be used? Lost some hours to that

That "YAWBFTA", I keep seeing the W, the T, and the F, and the whole thing half-assembles into an obscene backronym, but fortunately some letter always gets in the way and brings me back to the clean proper acronym. I just fear one of these times, a matching backronym is going to materialize, and I'll never be able to think of Tear without thinking of that phrase.

I vote you start a new thread for the next version, without acronyms involving butt-!@#$ in the title.
