In the meantime I've recompiled it for AmiCygnix and it is now very stable (as far I can see)
Only forms are not working. Hope I can fix this.

That's really impressive.How is the memory footprint over OWB?

NetSurf needs about 17 MB to start. The binaries size is 14 MB.


@tomazkid

Quote:
It can handle css and such though?

Yes - and it renders the pages in a high quality and is much faster than OWB. Only the GTK-GUI is a bit slowlier. Here is a snapshot of the new NetSurf for AmiCygnix:









Here is a feature list:

- HTML 4.01
- XHTML 1.0
- CSS 2.1
- HTTP/1.1
- HTTP Authentication
- PNG and MNG support
- Cookies

Javascript is planned. There is already a library "libdom" under development, but not intergrated in NetSurf.

WOW, looking forward for the release

As this browser is much more stable than my osb-browser, NetSurf will replace osb-browser for sure. Can't say at the moment, when I will make a release...

@CygnusEd

Wow. Really great.

Keep up the good work!

I'm sure people who have complained about the lack of proper standards and CSS support in Amiga browsers will find this really useful... and also just anyone else of course!

I wish I had OS4 in some form to test it for myself but i'm sure others will be able to do that for you.

And again, thanks!

Alex.

Had a look at this program and it sounds very interesting. I've made a quick port using my (buggy) DirectFB/Cygnix port. NetSurf is really very portable and it compiled without any change (Congratulation to the NetSurf team!).

Here is a screenshot:




Awesome! Thanks for running with this idea, this is really cool!

hello,

interesting for AOS3.x with 68k classic amiga:

- Just 16 mo of memory for using.
- More speed than OWB on 68k (as said previously on the thread).

Maybe the program work direclty with old 68k port of SDL ???.

Please consider this possibility, CygnusEd, thanks

Please try and convert the gtk calls to AmigaOS native. I had a look at the source and the code in gtk/ will need rewriting - but you'll need to find out exactly which functions need to be rewritten.

I can't even get it to think about compiling here else I might try it myself

It has no javascript



But it was still nice of you to get an interest to it!

Maybe the javascript interpreter Spidermonkey (OS4Depot) could be integrated somehow?

I might as well remind that AWeb is being reworked to support the KHTML engine. Patience is gold.

I think at the moment OWB is the better program, as it doen't need Cygnix and has javascript. But we must see, that NetSurf is work in progress.

I don't have a working compiler for 68k progs. And because of time reasons I can't make such a port. NetSurf has too many dependencies, which I also have to recompile. Sorry.

Sorry, but I don't have the time to do this. I spend all my free time in developing AmiCygnix.
But if you like, I can send you everything you need to compile it .

I think, it is better to wait for the javascript interpreter, which is in the pipeline of the NetSurf team. I don't have an idea, how I could integrate spidermonkey.

@CygnusEd

How "OS4" is CygniX? Can it be ported to AROS and Classic 3.9?

(If not by you, but by someone capable that you trust with your code?:))

Cheers,
Arnljot

Basically it can be ported to every Amiga like OS. It MUST have a TCP/IP stack and should have the GCC compiler.

The X server has some dependencies to OS4, but nothing that couldn't be solved. The biggest problem for such a port is time. I already had some requests from people, who wanted to make a port. I never heard something from them again, after I gave them the sources. This is not a project for three hours at the weekend.

And hey: I'm writing this on NetSurf Forms are working now.

If someone, seriously, I said seriously, want to continue netsurf for aos3-4 and morphOS, I will offer to him CubicIDE package (if he need the program). Chris_Y maybe ???

very interesting, Chris_Y.

you have edited your post to put the grab ??? A curiousity compilation test, I think.

Thanks to take a look on netsurf and show some things will be possible with netsurf for the amiga, for a talented programmer.
