btw I apologise for some of my messages not threading properly.
Whenever I reply to Ole it crashes - looks like the message-id is too
long for this (ten years out of development) mailer, as it sends after
rebooting but with the end of the message-id in In-Reply-To chopped
off.
I'd ditch this mailer but I like the threading capability.
Just in case it was irritating anybody!

Almost yes, this patch is working for spidermonkey 1.7 and probably 1.8

You got this wrong, spidermonkey is just the JavaScript engine, it has
nothing to
do with the DOM binding. That has still to be done. But I think binding
JavaScript to the DOM should be almost the same for 1.7 / 1.8.
But there is also one important type missing within 1.7: c-types.
I guess it will be used by developers quite often, because
HTML5 brings also the ability to create files with javscript and offer
them for download.
On the other side, it's probably not so much work to get c-types API
running with spidermonkey 1.7.

Nick's talking about BookMaker; you're talking about NetSurf's inbuilt
hotlist.

what does it mean ?. With only this small patch its possible to use spidermonky and netsurf can work
at usefull speed on pages that use java script buttons, menus ?. sure 1.7 is from firefox 2.0, but
i guess in java script are not important enhance done, that is need in 98% of web pages.
I think firefox 2 can still show most of webpages today.
If it is so easy, wy it is not implement earlier, before the rewrite in the buildsystem ?. maybe
netsurf can build a libjscript out of this sources automatic.
I guess a working netsurf with java script attract more developers to help on netsurf, because then
it is a full browser that can show most of the pages. currently i guess netsurf can only show 10%
of web pages correct. and even a old java script can boost that maybe to 80%.
If java on netsurf can work this way, i am motivate to try to get the MUI support working with
newest netsurf backend API
But i hope that in Future not many changes in Backend API are need, i have not so much time to do
porting again and again for changed API.

It is not ticked, no Menu of folders arrives, and the URL is added to the
main book.

Git transition mostly done
Hi,
The transition to Git is mostly complete now. There are a few things left to
do, and a few repositories to bring into the main namespace and out of the
import space.
We will not have commit mails for a few days yet, sorry about that. I will
work on getting them done, but it may be next week before they're fully
functional once more.
You can get some instructions on getting started with the code as it is now, at
http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Documentation/GettingCoding and you can find a
rough guide to using git with the code at
http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Documentation/GitCheatSheet if you need it.
Currently outside of temp-import/ is all the repositories necessary to get
NetSurf building natively on GTK Linux and (I believe) for Framebuffer. Of
what is left to transition out of the import tree, the most obvious is the
website. I will work with Michael to help him get that done.
All the repositories apart from the buildsystem one are also hooked into our
CIA bot. I didn't feel the buildsystem repository warranted CIA integration,
so until we have change mails working, remember to let the IRC channel know if
you change anything in there.
I will write a wiki page about administering the Gitano instance later. This
is secondary to getting the functionality finished so that change mails etc
will work.
Please find me on IRC and/or email if anything isn't working well.
