figures...

In what way? Did it crash?
yep. or the browser would hang so hard i had to kill browserd to get things going again...

Right, I used the wrong settings property name. As I said, this was a quickie release. I uploaded a fixed version.
will test

From what I could tell, this was caused by the 0.0.10 install (and uninstall) script run by the application manager. Did you by chance have 0.0.10 installed before installing 0.9.3? The uninstall script of the old package would cause the new package to crash, and you'd have to restart the browser daemon to help this.

Of course, it could be something new

what i had installed was your .9.3 from earlier. but i could try a full uninstall and reinstall of webkit-eal, just to see what happens.

the error:
Code:
WEBKITEAL_TRACE:gwebkitengine.c:g_webkit_engine_load_committed:1212:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/browserd: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0003a8c0 ***
browserd[16232]: GLIB CRITICAL ** default - child 16241 died with status 134

Is this webkit useable ?
Does it speed up the javascript engine ?
I have lots of javascript apps which do not require an internet connection (calculators, scrabble, ephemeris) which work excellently on the 'original' MicroB browser.
Which version would you recommend as the most stable 0.0.10 ?
When it does not work, can I uninstall it and restore the browser to its original state ?

It's similar to Tear, although less stable, and it relies on the same libraries. I recommend you try out Tear, and if you like it install webkit-eal.

It's quite a bit faster than microb, but less stable and far from complete. consider it alpha quality. (Update: I'm talking specifically about the webkit the default browser package here, not Webkit itself or Tear).

Which version would you recommend as the most stable 0.0.10 ?
0.0.10 is the last release by pronvit. I don't have the 0.0.10 source code, so I started with 0.0.9 and have re-implemented most of 0.0.10 and added a few things o top, so I'd consider my 0.0.9.* packages the better choice now. I'll release a 0.0.11 package soon to clear things up.

When it does not work, can I uninstall it and restore the browser to its original state ?
You can always switch back to the microb browser engine using the browser engine switcher, and of course you can uninstall the whole package.

Don't get me wrong, but I find the .10 better from tear..

Thank you HNS for continuing the project. Can't wait for your .11 release!

Please, if possible use the 'extras' or 'devel' for the release.

I'll ty Tear.
BTW I have a nice speed test, a big number calculator which can handle numbers of unlimited precision.
It is derived on a class made by a Brazilian guy.

MicroB with its 3.0 alpha JS engine (which on the desktop was speeded up twice by times since then) can't be compared to the latest Squirrelfish (WebKit JS engine).

Simple test using this address:

123456789987654321123123456456789789 x 123456789987654321123123456456789789

took 1.37 seconds in MicroB and 0.34 seconds in WebKit. This makes for about 4x JS speed. Of course JS speed is not only multiplying, but this roughly answers the question
