You are a star 8-)
I'll get to tweaking BookMaker so it no longer blocks save if NetSurf
is running.

Actually it already does that, so NetSurf shouldn't be saving
the hotlist when the hotlist is edited, when configured to
use an external hotlist manager, however, it will still
save the hotlist on exit.
We could change it not to save the hotlist on exit when
an external hotlist manager is used, since that would
be a simple change.
Adding support for querying the external hotlist about
whether it has a URL and removing URLs from external
requires more work, and would need a RISC OS developer.
If there are any developers interested in working on the
RISC OS front end, they would be most welcome. None of
NetSurf's core developers use RISC OS, so we have trouble
maintaining and supporting it.

As far as I can tell there are three differences in behavior when
the RISC OS front end's external hotlist option is enabled:
1. Opening the hotlist will Filer_Run the external application,
rather than opening the NetSurf hotlist manager window.
2. The hotlist_has_url test always returns false for external
hotlists. (Meaning the star in the URL bar will always be
an empty outline, rather than filled yellow, even when the
current page is in the external hotlist.)
3. When adding pages to the hotlist, NetSurf's core hotlist code
isn't informed. This means that the NetSurf won't save the
file when adding URLs.
So NetSurf won't save the hotlist file when adding pages, and
set to use an external hotlist manager.
It looks like the RISC OS front end code for removing pages
from the hotlist first checks whether the core hotlist has
the page, and if it does, it instructs the NetSurf core
hotlist to remove it, rather than the external application.
The remove from hotlist handling has no code to tell an
external hotlist to remove pages.
This means that if this code is called, and the the core
hotlist had the URL, it will remove it, which will cause
NetSurf to save the hotlist file.
I can't remember exactly how the RISC OS UI presents the
interface for removing pages from the hotlist. It might have
been select clicking on a filled URL bar star, or adjust
clicking on a URL bar star, or something else. If the former,
then because of point 2 above, it would not let the remove
page code get called in the first place, so the file wouldn't
get saved.
In any case, I can make it more robust by consulting the
external hotlist option before removing from the hotlist.

Can you just confirm that Netsurf doesn't save the file if there is an
external hotlist manager? I've just had a play with build #4070 and
this seems to be the case, but confirmation would be nice.
If so, I can fix BookMaker to allow saves even if Netsurf is running.

[gccsdk] Building GCCSDK with modern GCC + makeinfo
Hi,
Over the weekend I had a go at building GCCSDK on a fresh install of
Lubuntu 17.04, using the default GCC + makeinfo/texinfo packages (GCC
6.3.0 & makeinfo 6.3).
GCC 6.3 didn't like the version of PPL we're using (it complained about
some classes which contained a "[]" flexible array as the last member). So
I've fixed that by updating to the latest version of PPL (which allows us
to drop some now redundant patches, but also introduces a couple of new
patches because GCC and cloog had bogus PPL version checks). AIUI more
recent versions of GCC have dropped PPL in favour of a different library
("isl"), so I'll leave it to you to decide whether updating the PPL
version is worth it or not (it's possible it's affected code
generation/optimisation, since GCC built with new PPL seems to produce
different binaries compared to other builds of GCC with old PPL)
Meanwhile, makeinfo barfed at a couple of pieces of dodgy syntax in the
GCC docs. Checking against the latest GCC sources shows that they've
changed that part of the docs to use an alternative syntax, which looks
like it should be supported under all the makeinfo versions we support:
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/gcc/doc/gcc.texi?r1=203064&r2=203065&
After patching the above issues I was able to build functioning versions
of the cross-compiler and native compiler. Patches attached.
Cheers,
- Jeffrey

Bug tracker
The NetSurf bug tracker [1] is a Mantis [2] install hosted on a
NetSurf administered system. Recently several critical issues have
been found in Mantis that required an immediate upgrade.
Unfortunately this required updating the version in use from 1.2.19 to
1.3.10 as support for the previous series has been discontinued. This
further required upgrading the hosting operating system, database, web
server and PHP edition.
The upgrade appears to have been successful and no data loss has been
detected. If you use the bug tracker it would be helpful if you can
check your issues and ensure nothing has been lost.
The New Mantis version should also improve the look and feel of the
bug tracker without adversely affecting performance.

"width" of a rule is not one of those things that NetSurf can do,
unfortunately.
If you use a style instead, it does work:

I am having to change my email address and can't get anywhere using the
netsurf site using the "users list" unsubscribe feature. It just says no
address given. Same with FF or Netsurf.
Any ideas?

Horizontal rules in Netsurf 3.5 & 3.6
netsurf-users@netsurf-browser.org
A little problem with the <hr> tag in Netsurf 3.5 and 3.6.
I have a simple html doc. in which horizontal rules are used:
<hr align="center" width="50%"><br />
This displays as expected in Netsurf 3.0 and Firefox but in Netsurf 3.5
and 3.6 it produces a full width rule.
Is it me or Netsurf that has missed something?
Best regards, Philip.

However, given that NetSurf uses an Adjust click for something more than
changing the selected state of the object under the pointer, adding a
different action to Adjust double-click is likely to be problematic from a
technical point of view because RISC OS won't allow the two actions to be
differentiated.
RISC OS sends a single click, followed shortly after by a double-click --
exactly what's required for a selection model like the Filer's.

Adjust double click opens a child/subdirectory and closes the

So often I wish that the "stagger" behaviour would behave more
helpfully, when I have a page of search results and want to follow
several of them.
Adjust-click the first result -- a new Netsurf page opens,
covering the results page. Bring it to the front.
Adjust-click the second result -- a new Netsurf page opens,
covering the results page. Bring it to the front.
Etc.
Perhaps if stagger were configurable, the new pages could open far
enough to the right so that enough of the list of results remains
visible for the next Adjust-click.

I think I've now sussed it. With Stagger off and Copy on it does what
I want. If a link is opened in a new window then the new window is
vertically offset from the parent window, otherwise a new window
that's opened from the icon bar or by double-clicking an html file
opens in the default position.

Window position
After a bit of fiddling I got the default window position to where I
want it - full width, just below the menu bar at the top and just
above the icon bar at the bottom. I've ticked 'Stagger window
position'.
This is fine when you first run NetSurf but I would expect NetSurf to
use the default position whenever the first window is opened
regardless of what went before (i.e. no other windows are open).
It doesn't work like that. You can open a window in the default
position, close it and open another window. This gets staggered up or
down even if there's no window to stagger it from.
I feel a bug report coming on, although it's really only a design
oversight. In the mean time I might be better off with 'stagger
windows' disabled.
