Does it support cookies ? When I save a cookie in javascript it does not show when the page is next loaded and this does work in MicroB.
Fuurthermore it works excellent.

I'm not sure WebKitGtk didn't support cookies at the time, so pronvit came up with a hack to force CURL to handle them. I didn't had any problems with their support.

I find that tear fails
to display Chinese characters correctly for some Chinese pages. For
example, on www.baidu.com (gb2312), some Chinese characters show up as
squares. but work fine on www.solidot.org(utf-8)

ps:how to build libwebkit for 770? I want to build cross compiler with no-VFP support.

I tested Tear more extensively and came to the following conclusions:

- Excellent rendering

- No cookies (at least they don't work)
- Dashboard is hard to read: when a site is on one of the nine fields, it is in gray on a lighter gray background (low contrast).
On the left of the dashboard there are three hardly readaboe texts which appear as 'History' and 'Bookmarks'
- Bookmarking is not possible . There is no clear user interface item to add a link to the 'bookmarks' tab on the dashboard.
- History items can only be opened from the dashboard when they are web links. Links to local pages (i.e. file://) do not open from the history tab of the dashboars.

So I feel tears when such an excellent rendering and fast javascript browser lacks such basic user interface thins.
I hope these issues will be fixed soon as forthermore it is good work !

there is a star in the tear ui, click it, and you will have a bookmark.

Cookies are working for me (at least itT remembers my account, that is based on cookies, isn't it?)

I plan to build 770 compatible WebKit version soon (if the dependencies can be solved )

I'll try and have a look at updating the mud recipe for Vala tonight. Worse case for the custom VAPIs could be a noddy little package which is in your Build-Depends which updates /usr/share/vala/vapi/.

There've been discussions (on -developers?) about having a third level in addition to extras-devel and extras(-stable). This should mitigate this concern.

Well, the pages following where people have difficulty installing it show otherwise ;-)

I'm sure Jeremiah will help get the other libs in as well.

Everyone should be just plain worried about software in use on their tablets which is not in Extras. As we've seen with pronvit's webkit-eal, developers can start on something interesting and wander off; without any source to rebuild from.

There are also advantages to developers, of course, diablo's Extras repo was seeded with the chinook sources - and it's looking like the same will happen with fremantle.

Incomplete is not the same as dangerous, though.

great! tear will save all 770.

he opened up a garage project before then, and basically warned everyone it could happen as he had a bad habit of doing so...

Except a) the garage project didn't have the up-to-date source for the last released deb (the one including kinetic scrolling) and b) warning about it doesn't help solve it ;-)
