3.9 Release
by Vincent Sanders
A lot of features and bug fixes have happened since the 3.8 release so
I am considering producing a 3.9 soon.
The merging of the work to add css media queries has resulted in much
improved rendering on many web sites including making our handling of
CSS length [1] calculations much more sensible especially useful on
higher DPI displays.
The completion of the monkey test frontend harness and associated
infrastructure has resulted in numerous issues being discovered and
resolved especially making the javascript support more robust.
Additional testing also means our handling of some core things like
HTTP headers and basic web authentication has improved and should not
regress in future.
There have also been a great number of resource leaks fixed improving
the browsers overall memory usage.
I had intended to release before now but testing kept revealing
issues, however I now believe that we are ready for a 3.9 release
candidate on Sunday June 16th with the actual release on Saturday June
22nd unless critical bugs are discovered.
If anyone has a reasonable objection to this please let me know as
soon as possible and I will reconsider.

Please could you create an issue on the tracker with some actual
details? or this simply will never be looked at
Futher if you are refering to http://www.torrens.org/ (btw please
consider https, https://letsencrypt.org/ is a brilliant idea) you have
two stylesheet links in the head element
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../http://css.torrens.org/main" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://css.torrens.org/navbar.css" type="text/css">
the first is garbage relative link and all browsers i tried it with
treat it as such and ignore it.

on other pages (i picked cats for an example) the link elements are:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://css.torrens.org/styles1.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://css.torrens.org/navbar.css" type="text/css">
and the styles from both are used in NetSurf causing the header
bar contact, home and search backgrounds to be coloured (for example)
