Iyonix history bitmaps
by Paul Vigay
Ooooooh!
I just downloaded the latest NetSurf (June 15) and was pleased to see that
the little graphical history window appears to work properly. It did work
intermittently before-hand but some pages didn't have a thumbnail, but now,
after a quick bit of testing it does seem to give me a thumbnail for each
page - including my intranet page, which never worked previously.

No new dev versions?
by Dave Higton
What's happened to the development versions of NS? The last one
I can see is June 17th.

Nothing.

That's because the last change made to the main NetSurf tree was on June
17th. We don't automatically build branches, nor do we build other
products that happen to be located in the NetSurf SVN repository. The
logs of recent SVN activity on the NetSurf website are only updated when
the autobuilder performs a build.
A cursory glance at the full SVN history indicates that there have been
98 commits to SVN since the last change to the main tree.

My SARPC, 128MB, RO6.06, NS (17 Jun 2008) r4376, fetched pages 1-12
simultaneously, without any problem. The socket count reduced from 89 to
69, and then returned to 89, when the fetch was complete. NetSurf used
about 10MB of memory. The machine behaved normally throughout.

Halting problem
by Chris Terran
Before reporting this on the tracker, I'd be grateful for confirmation
that it happens on other people's setups. I'm not totally sure it's a
NetSurf problem.
Go to http://www.shutterstock.com/
Enter something in the search box (eg "fruit").
Wait until the page has rendered, then click on "Next".
After 4 or 5 repeats of clicking on "Next" (it varies), the whole
thing grinds to a halt, with fewer and fewer thumbnails being
displayed.
Other network problems also start to appear -- Oregano2 sometimes
won't start, News Ticker freezes, and NS won't display new pages.
Quitting NS seems to reset things.
Other systems here don't appear to have any problems accessing the
site (Firefox under Linux and Windows XP), so I don't think our local
LAN/router are at fault. RISC OS Firefox also seems to cope.
Best, Chris

Pictures all went grey
by Richard Porter
I can't really report this as a bug because I can't provide any
evidence, but all the jpeg images started coming out as grey
rectangles of the correct size. Gifs were OK. I tried the same sites
with Oregano and they were OK. I quit NetSurf and re-ran it, and the
problem disappeared. Very strange. Has this happened to anybody else?

Yes -- "(in branches/adamblokus/netsurf)".
Test builds are only created for trunk/netsurf.

We do not provide binary downloads for any platform other than RISC OS. If
you want to run NetSurf on BeOS, then you will have to compile it from
source.
See http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/develop#Subversion for
how to get the source code.
See http://source.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/netsurf/Docs/BUILDING-BeOS for
build instructions.
I'm not entirely sure if all the changes needed to build NetSurf for BeOS
are currently committed to our SVN repository.
HTH,
John.
