Topics
Monkey
Daniel spent time cleaning up nsmonkey and writing an initial wrapper so that
we can begin to explore ways in which we might use nsmonkey to have tests
of the browser as a whole. It's all a little grungy as yet; but it's a start
New logging library
Daniel designed and built a new logging library (libnslog) which is pretty
much feature-complete at this time, though it is known to use a number of naïve
approaches for things like filter checking at this time. What's missing right
now is a bunch of documentation before other parts of the NetSurf project can
start to use it.
New layout
Michael started to look at the new layout engine stuff again, particularly focussed around how the new layout engine will hook into the client for passing events back and forth. He wrote up a document about how it might work and has asked for comments.
Local History / Core Window
Michael and Vince worked through a redraw/flicker bug in local history and core windows. They fixed this and pushed a change.
Vince subsequently managed to move all ancilliary windows to use corewindow and then removed swathes of deprecated APIs.
Frontends
cocoa: has been removed from git but Sven has reappeared recently and we may need to consider a merge.
atari: toolchains are badly in need of a refresh. will be removed if noone wants to maintain it.
kolibrios: branch has been proposed, there remain some issues to cleanup
Daniel and Vince looked at this, but Ashish has a bunch more stuff to do before it's really mergeable
