The year 2008 was very productive, with a renewed workforce that led to the new dillo-2.0 release, with lots of improvements like: tabbed browsing, utf-8, antialiasing, fewer library dependencies, half the memory footprint, control over image loading, translation of character encodings, HTTP compression, better table rendering, etc. In 2009 the development team has continued working to push the project forward, and succeeded in integrating the necessary parts for CSS support. Not 100% yet but quite a bit of it! The next release, dillo-2.1, is scheduled for mid-2009. It will provide basic CSS support, basic authentication, and assorted new features, bugfixes, and cleanups. [Update: 2.1 also has configurable keybindings!] The dillo project has a small codebase (under 50000 SLOC), and it has very good documentation. This allows for quick improvement of the browser, and a smooth learning curve to work on it. If you're a developer and wish to join the project, please don't hesitate to help. We need that extra power to thrive!
If you're a dillo user who enjoys the program, please
write
and let us know what you like most about it and what you want
to see in future releases.
