Embeddable web view in apps
by Richard Gale
It seems like netsurf is a great candidate for providing HTML based UI in apps. Is this something anyone has tried from a technical point of view?
Does the current licensing support this for paid for apps or is netsurf licensable for such purposes?
Thanks,Richard.

RISC OS Emulator
by Prabhjot Singh
Hi
I am a student developer from New Delhi, India. I just went through the GSoc ideas page of NetSurf and would like to start my contribution journey by submitting a few patches. I went through the list of bugs and I wish to submit a patch to the bug 0002078: Slow shutdown.
Which emulator should I prefer for RISC OS or are there any other solutions as well?

Haiku port broken
by François Revol
Hi,
I noticed the Haiku build fails:
In file included from
/work/netsurf/workspace/netsurf/beos/scaffolding.cpp:55:
/work/netsurf/workspace/netsurf/desktop/browser_history.h:38: parse
error before `new'
Can someone change this argument to "nw" or anything else so I don't
have to do ugly things like #define new new_ #include ... #undef new ?

Well, fundamentally, I don't think we're anywhere near a position where
the Hubbub's ABI can be called stable, regardless of this specific case.
5 years of specification changes will have a great deal of impact. Until
Hubbub is updated, it's almost impossible to know what will change.

The only part of the HTML specification which is relevant to Hubbub is
the chapter on parsing (and anything it references). I'm not going to
quote the section numbers, as that's liable to change as the
specification evolves.
As docs/Updated states, the last time Hubbub matched the specified
behaviour was 2009-03-10. The specification has changed a great deal
since then (and no, we have not done a gap analysis to see where the
differences lie).

Curl threaded resolver
by Chris Young
Hi
I've finally managed to get a working patch for libcurl's threaded DNS
resolver, so I've updated the ppc-amigaos toolchain.
If somebody can give Jenkins a prod so it rebuilds the ppc-amigaos
toolchain that'd be great. :)
Thanks

Hubbub "has_children" tree callback no longer used?
by Ralf Junker
In Hubbub, the "has_children" tree callback is never used.
It is defined in hubbub\include\hubbub\tree.h, line 286.
With that line commented out, Hubbub still compiles fine and tests pass
without error.
Hence I believe that the "has_children" callback could (and should?) be
removed from the hubbub_tree_handler.
What do NetSurf developers think?

Yes, I know. But this is the only way to convince a new (blank) tab
to have new history.
I did have a nose around in the core at the time but it didn't look
like an easy thing to add/fix there (although I forget why not).

I tried to remove it, but it needs desktop/gui.h for the gui_drag_type
typedef.
