Hi
I am really impressed with the latest versions of NS. The new skin
looks really nice. The rendering is very much improved - it even does
some stuff better than O2. It is also nice and nippy.
Unfortuanately I have had no success with it on RO 3.1
On my real machines, I can't free enough memory to run it and on VA (+
host internet, I'm on the group) at work it refuses to resolve anything.
The last 26 bit version works fine on the same setup (though I notice I
need to delete the choices when I revert back to it.)
With respect to the memory requirements, could they be reduced by
abstracting the image support to a plugin?
This isn't really sensible. We have the facility to produce a build
without any image support at all, however.
I've uploaded a build without any SSL support (ie https URLs won't work)
to
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~jmb202/riscos/netsurf/ns-nossl.zip
Can you try this and see if it's small enough to run under 3.1?
Cheers,
John.
