Unknown SSL protocol
by John Williams (address)
Sometime after r8950 - 1st Aug 2009, accessing my French bank results in
this error at the password box appearing stage:
Sorry, NetSurf was unable to display this page
Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to
voscomptesenligne.labanquepostale.fr:443
- so something changed after that version.

NetSurf and Printing
by Dave Symes
Has anyone else had problems printing from the recent releases of NetSurf,
up to and including todays 30 April r10528?
It will print the page, but then Errors out and dies, presenting the usual
Log file (I still have stored).
This happens with the past number of versions, including the 2.5 release.
The 9 Jan r9799 version which I've retained to fall back on, prints the
same pages perfectly okay.

test builds after 2.5
by george
Since the developers have stated that NetSurf 2.5 will be the last
stable RISC OS release, should I continue to download and install test
builds from the RISC OS section of the Downloads area? Presumably, at
a certain point, these will fail due to incompatibility with the
existing RO front end, but when? For the record, I'm running r10528 at
the moment on RO 5.16 (Iyonix), which seems to work fine.

Style sheets
by Richard Torrens (lists)
Reloading a document does not appear to re-load the style-sheet.
Is this intentional, an oversight or a bug?
BTW: the work that is being done is impressive. Especially as it's a
task which can never be finished. Thanks to all involved.

No, they haven't stated this.

Yes. Currently, the RISC OS version is still getting bug fixes via this
route.

You'll know when, as I'd expect the test builds to stop coming out for
RISC OS at that point. If the RISC OS version breaks, it will almost
certainly break as in "won't build", not "won't work".
And, for the record, once things have stabilised following 2.5, I hope
there will still be work done on the RISC OS front-end -- time permitting.
