within the Netsurf 2.0 zipfile download, the datestamps on all the
internal files have been lost -- everything is stamped 2009-04-22
16:42 (give or take a few seconds).
is that on purpose or a glitch?
this was not so in previous downloads. datestamps usefully indicated
whether items such as Iconv and SharedULib had changed since my last
Netsurf download, ie, whether it's necessary to go through the process
of updating Boot and System.

It is a side effect of how the autobuilder in release mode works, if I
recall. There is nothing to fear, and you certainly shouldn't use
dates to calculate merging; you should always use a whole NetSurf as
you have obtained it.

Bob, is it also recommended to install all the files that come with a
recent build, as you would with a new version. The former I've not
usually done, as I seem to remember someone saying it was not required
with builds to a version.
Thanks to all involved with the new version.
There is one odditly thats been in place since around the version one
introduction, where it wont resolve some pages, reporting 'The document
sent by the server is empty' (i've posted JMB direct on this with logs).

Yes, but you don't need to do the !Boot and !System updates every
time. I work on the basis that if an updated module is required it
will be RMEnsured in the !Run file.

Thanks Richard. Ah I'm ok then, as except for new builds, I dont do the
!Boot and !System, but I do replace the !Netsurf application.
Thanks

As Richard said, if a newer version of a module or resource shipped in
our !Boot and !System patches is needed, NetSurf will complain about
them not being available. But it doesn't hurt to do it anyway, either.
