!Cache management
by cj
Is anyone else finding that the new Cache feature does not seem to
expire its content?
I wondered a few weeks ago why the main harddrive on the Iyonix was
filling up more quickly than I thought it should. I found the Netsurf
cache was close to 10 GB in size. Netsurf was configured for a cache
maximum of 1 GB with expiry set to 10 days. Randomly checking
datestamps of some of the files in the cache showed them to be weeks
and even months old. I had been assuming that (a) old files would be
deleted after the configured expiry time and (b) if the cache size
approached the configured maximum size, then the older files would be
deleted anyway to keep the size under the limit. I deleted the whole
cache at the time, and it is well under 1 GB at the moment, although
checking a few random datestamps, there are certainly files going
back to early August, even with an expiry now set to 7 days.
I checked on the PandaBoard today and lo and behold, the cache
contained more than 8 GB of files. This machine was also configured
for a 1 GB max and 10 days expiry. I have now deleted and disabled
the cache on the PandaRO.
On all my machines I use recent versions of RISC OS 5.21, and recent
development versions of Netsurf.
Am I misunderstanding what the cache settings are?

Server error on Genes Reunited (HTTP 503.0)
by Andrew Pinder
Hi all
I received an email from Genes Reunited containing a link. Clicking
on that gives
HTTP Error 503.0 - Service Unavailable
It lists as "Most likely causes"
An invalid identity in the application pool could cause this error.
The application pool is no longer running because of configuration
or reaching application failure limits.
The concurrent application request limit was reached.
It also tells me that "This error occurs when the worker process was
unable to start."
Accessing the Genes Reunited website from a PC seems to show no
problems so it is possible that NetSurf can't yet handle the link. It
it will be of help I can add it to the bug tracker.
I'm running NetSurf on an ARMini with RO5.20. This error occurs with
both NetSurf 2311 and 2381.
Regards
Andrew

Hotlist and strange mouse behaviour (Atari)
by Peter Slegg
I suspect this is an Atari only issue (build 2369).
When the mouse is over the Netsurf window, pressing F6 does
nothing but move the mouse outside the window and F6 opens
the Hotlist immediately.

I donwloaded 3.3 (Dev) EXPERIMENTAL on 16 November and have used it
since then. So far, there has been one crash, which occurred after I had
launched several urls from Google News. While I was reading one page it
seems that another page,which was still loading,caused the crash. The
log is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/77062274/log.zip
Since then, no problem. I've not noticed any performance difference as
compared to the 'normal' 3.3 builds.

Warning! Crash in recent development builds
by Brian Jordan
I have discovered that attempting to complete forms rendered in 3.3 (Dev
CI #2327) can crash NetSurf and stiff the computer. In particular ists,
where one selects from a list to complete the form, fail to show the list
and everything hangs - here anyway.
Bug report raised (after reverting to an earlier NetSurf to circumvent
this problem on the tracker).

Cannot Save hotlist
by Peter Slegg
Sometimes I have noticed that when exiting Netsurf it
says it cannot save the hotlist.
I have noticed this issue for months but only recently
made a connection.
It only seems to occur whenever I have used the "View source"
option.
It could be that the editor I am using to view the source
is holding a file lock but why would it lock the hotlist ?
Currently using Atari build 2327.

RISC OS Save-as PDF file
by John Williams
I noticed recently (from another posting) that (some) other platforms seem
to still have Save as PDF which was implemented under RISC OS and later
removed.
I was wondering about the status of this, as it seemed like a miracle at
the time.
I know we can still use the Drawfile export and print to a PDF file, but
the direct option seemed so much more elegant!
