Dillo-3.0 has been released!

In Dillo3, we have shifted from fltk2 to the fltk-1.3 series. The experimental status of fltk2 had kept Dillo2 out of a number of distributions, but fltk-1.3 has already seen an official release, clearing the way for dillo to return to all of these distributions and bring safe lightweight graphical browsing to those users.

Using fltk-1.3 also means that OSX users can run dillo3 on Cocoa.

Some other interesting changes:

• Default binding for close-all changed from Alt-q to Ctrl-q.
• Default binding for close-tab changed from Ctrl-q to Ctrl-w.
• Default binding for left-tab changed to Shift-Ctrl-Tab.
• Rewrote the User Interface: much simpler design and event handling.
• Added on-the-fly panel resize (tiny/small/medium and normal/small icons).
• 'hide-panels' key action now hides the findbar if present, and toggles display of the control panels otherwise.
• Allow multiple search engines to be set in dillorc, with a menu in the web search dialog to select between them.
• Added an optional label to dillorc's search_url.
  Format: "[<label> ]<url>"
• Add right_click_closes_tab preference (default is middle click).
• Allow binding to non-ASCII keys and multimedia keys.
• Avoid a certificate dialog storm on some HTTPS sites (BUG#868).
• Enable line wrapping for <textarea>. (BUG#903)
• Avoid double render after going Back or Forward (it takes half the time now!)
• Implemented a custom tabs handler (to allow fine control of it).
• Rewrote dw's crossing-events dispatcher (avoids redundant events).
• Fixed a years old bug: stamped tooltips when scrolling with keyboard.
• Fixed a border case in URL resolver: empty path + {query|fragment} (BUG#948)
• Cancel the expected URL after offering a download (BUG#982)
• Eliminated a pack of 22 compiler warnings (gcc-4.6.1 amd64)
• Removed 'large' option of panel_size preference.
• Removed --enable-ansi configure option.
• Limit saved cookie size.
• Wrap image alt text.
• Added support for CSS adjacent sibling selectors.
• Fix redraw loops and reenabled limit_text_width dillorc option.
• Collapse parent's and first child's top margin.

Dillo-2.2.1 has been released!

This is the final release of Dillo2, which depends on the moribund FLTK2, and the big news is that Dillo3, a port to FLTK-1.3, is expected to be available in a matter of weeks! FLTK-1.3 is actively developed, and 1.3.0 was released last month.

As for new features, some highlights are: more CSS properties, cookies changes, and handling of page source now uses a DPI (plugin).
