The new dillo-0.8.2 was released today. C'mon, go get it!
Except from the usual bug-fixes and improvements, some new features snuck in. One nifty feature is the save and open file dialogs remembering the last directory opened. Also, a "start_page" option in the preferences so that you may override the splash screen.
Full ChangeLog is available here!

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.

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.

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!

A BugFix release was made (0.7.1.2). It solves the problem of dissapearing bookmarks among other things. Please upgrade ASAP.

Dillo 0.7.0 is finally out! Get it while it's hot!
This release is a major milestone. It features the new plugin framework: a gateway to extend dillo and to interface with external programs. (It is not compatible with other browsers' plugins.)

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:

• Added a simple command line interface, and enabled some options.
• Improved alignment inside tables:
  • LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER, JUSTIFY, CHAR,
  • TOP, BOTTOM, MIDDLE, BASELINE.
• Made dillo embeddable into other GTK+ applications.
• Concomitant Control Chain (CCC):
  • Extended the theory to allow bidirectional message passing.
  • Reimplemented dillo's core with the new chains.
• Input/Output engine (IO):
  • Extended the functionallity with a threaded operation that allows buffered writes of small chunks on the same FD.
  • Created a new IO API, and adapted dillo to it.
• Used the new CCC and IO to implement dillo plugins! (dpi).
• Wrote a dpi-program for bookmarks.
• Added IPv6 support! [./configure --enable-ipv6]
• Rewrote findtext with highlighting and a case-sensitive option.
• Added a tiny warning/handler for meta refresh.
• Lots of other enhancement and fixes. Check out the full ChangeLog!

[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.

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:

• Support for Cookies!
• Improved *BSD detection/configuration code.
• Fixed some leaks and several segfault sources.
• Reimplemented the cache index with a hash.
• Allowed enterpress to submit single text-entry forms.
• Added support for missing Content-Type in HTTP headers (most notable for ebay).
• Added support for rendering adjacent <BR>, Tabs in <PRE>, and linebreak handling.
• Bound the space key to PgDn, and 'b' | 'B' to PgUp.
• Added the following options to dillorc:
  • Fontname selection
  • Force submit on enterpress
  • Generate missing submit buttons
• Lots of other enhancement and fixes. Check out the full ChangeLog!
