Archived News[25-Feb-2007]The Dillo project is frozen:
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. [15-Jun-2005]
0.8.5 was released with some minor fixes, most notably a couple of security
fixes. Upgrade if you haven't already! [11-Jan-2005] Today, two and a half months after the former release, the new dillo-0.8.4 was released! It comes with several goodies. The most remarkable is the fix of a memory leak bug that can lead to reduced virtual size memory usage by a factor of 2 to 20 on average! (this depends on usage, pthreads library and OS). The other big improvement is the ortogonalization of the parser. This brings several benefits detailed in the Changelog. Finally, among the usual enhancements and improvements, a security bug was also fixed. Our advice is to upgrade ASAP. [27-Oct-2004] After a long period of work, the new dillo-0.8.3 was released today. It comes with a parser that's able to use W3C's semantics plus some heuristics. This improves the rendering of sites that deliver non-valid HTML. It is expected to provide for better results than the venerable dillo-0.7.3, while keeping the useful diagnostic messages of the bug meter. [09-Jul-2004] Just out of popular demand, a donations link was added. This may give us the opportunity to work full time on Dillo, and thus keep improving it at a much faster pace. All the plans, required knowledge and will is there (i18n, antialiasing, better rendering, frames, https, FLTK, more plugins, ...), but we _need_ to be working on it full-time, to keep with the pace of the evolving technologies. [06-Jul-2004]
The new dillo-0.8.2
was released today. C'mon, go get it! [14-May-2004] 0.8.1 is finally here. After extensive testing on several platforms (see compatibility), it is no longer alpha SW but very stable beta!. This release comes with better HTML rendering, mainly due to the improved html-parser. The bug meter was also enhanced as a direct result from the improved parser. We hope it will serve even better the already satisfied web authors that use it to check and correct the HTML in their sites. --Thanks for the feedback and for adhering the standards. [08-Feb-2004] 0.8.0 has been released! A major milestone that comes with the largest Changelog ever! It has lots of improvements and advances, and also features the new bug meter. Did you know that the Yopy 3700 ships with dillo inside? [07-Aug-2003] 0.7.3 has been released! It comes with improved performance, important bugfixes and a new set of toolbar Icons! [25-Jun-2003] Kyle gently prepared a script to translate your mozilla bookmarks to dillo. [29-Apr-2003] The long awaited 0.7.2 release was made. It comes with Copy&Paste! Dillo is getting into a second stage in its development life. We're very close to doing: HTTPS, FTP, downloads and more! We only need to get some funds, settle the core working group, organize the job, and quick results will feed the line! [10-Mar-2003] A BugFix release was made (0.7.1.2). It solves the problem of dissapearing bookmarks among other things. Please upgrade ASAP. [17-Feb-2003]
Dillo 0.7.0 is finally out! Get it while it's hot!
Dillo plugins (dpi) allow extending the browser without increasing its core size. It even allows using dillo as a GUI! We also made this dillo embeddable! All the rendering and surfing capabilities can be used from another GTK+ application. For instance, check this screenshot from the sylpheed-claws email client. Now dillo does IPv6, highlights found text and uses a plugin program to manage its bookmarks. Some other very nice features and improvements include:
[19-Dec-2002] Dillo has moved again, and is now hosted at wearLab. [8-Nov-2002] A new, updated patch for russian encodings was added to the Links section. [1-Nov-2002] The first dpi-enabled dillo is available for developers! Just follow the CVS link, grab the tarball, read the docs and get started. [15-Aug-2002] Extra! Extra! Read all about it! :-) Dillo has recently been mentioned in this arcticle from LinuxJournal. Plus, we have been collecting other Dillo mentions, articles and reviews. You can check them out in our Press page. [30-May-2002] A new bug-fix release is out. The main fixes were on cookies. Note: Dillo has cookies absolutely disabled by default, so if you want to enable them, go to the help page. [26-Apr-2002] Finally, after a lot of work, Dillo 0.6.5 has been released! Some of the nice changes include:
[19-Apr-2002] We have put together some nice eye-candy for you! The screenshots
page was redone and there are some nice shots of varied ~/.dillo/dillorc options. Also
we have a new Icons section where you can see different
Dillo toolbars, and download a pixmaps.h to add to your Dillo!
