Welcome to the Dillo Project!

What is Dillo?

Dillo is a multi-platform graphical web browser known for its speed and small size.
Dillo is written in C and C++.
Dillo is based on FLTK2, the Fast Light Toolkit (statically-linked by default!).
Dillo is free software made available under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3).
Dillo strives to be friendly both to users and developers.
Dillo helps web authors to comply with web standards by using the bug meter.

Project Objectives:

The democratization of internet information access.
Personal security and privacy.
High software efficiency.

So, you have been using dillo for a while, but have you read about the project objectives? Please give it some time, you'll find some interesting issues there!

Current version

Dillo follows an evolving software model where each new version should be better than the previous one; there's no place for unstable releases, so just keep with the latest one: dillo-2.0.

News

[07-Dec-2008]

Dillo-2.0 received a 115 EUR donation from distrowatch!
Thanks to the people who appreciate Dillo and help us to move it forward.

[14-Oct-2008]

Dillo-2.0 has been released! Today, after a long period of inactivity, a new release was made. It's been a long way and this dillo-2.0 release comes with a boatload of improvements.

In dillo2, you will find: tabbed browsing, antialiasing, different character sets, accepting compressed pages, control over image loading, smaller footprint, near 50% smaller memory usage, fewer dependencies, better table rendering, bugfixes, improved GUI, among others!

If you like what you see in this release, and want to see the Dillo project thrive, please help us. We need developers.

[25-Feb-2007]

The Dillo project is frozen:

Frozen, waiting for funds or sponsorship.
Looking for interested developers that want to work steadily on it.
Both core developers have regular jobs and have almost no spare time.
We have a very advanced port of Dillo to FLTK2.

A web browser is too complex a task to develop on a part time basis, and it also is a fast-moving target. I dedicated seven years full-time to it, and I'm willing to dedicate more. This doesn't depend on me anymore as I had to take a job to pay the bills. We made great achievments with Dillo and it would be easy to quickly push FLTK2-Dillo if we could have both core developers working full time on it. This is a tiny deal for some sponsors (e. Cell phone maker), and we wish it could happen soon. Through this time we've been supported by individual's donations, and we thank them indeed for believing in our project and to help make it grow to what it is.

If you as a reader, or user, or interested party have a good idea, sponsorship or development time to devote, please don't hesitate to contact me to try to arrange for the future of Dillo.

[02-May-2006]

Dillo-0.8.6 was released. This is hopefully the last GTK1-based Dillo.

You'll find plenty of fixes and improvements in this tarball. Most notably on downloads. Just check the Changelog.

OTOH, our FLTK2-based branch is advanced enough to aim on making our next release with it.

When? This depends on funding.
