Software News : Status update for Paihia - new web browser in development |
| posted by jahc on 6-Nov-2005 5:45:50 (7661 reads) |
A status update of the new standards compliant browser Paihia can be found at http://www.paihia.co.uk - Read on!
Quote:
Grande Paihia is a modern, small, fast, and portable web browser. With complete support for XML, HTML 4, CSS 2.1, DOM level 3, and EcmaScript 3, Grande Paihia is more than capable of dealing with most of your internet needs. Grande Paihia is written from the ground up and is not based on any existing web software.
Versions for all the various Amiga systems are planned. Progress is slow but steady. As of November 2005, the CSS engine is all but done and being tested using the W3C test suite - biggest issue to arise from testing is performance. The language parts of EcmaScript are done, the object library isn't. And DOM level 3 is about 20% complete. All of this and the source code for the Paihia web engine is less than 700k uncompressed. Visual Studio compiles the engine to a binary around 300k in size - a tiny fraction the size of anything else in the field!

While Amiga users everywhere have been pining for IBrowse 3.0, smithy has been working hard on his browser for the last year or two, and hopes to release it in 2006! Keep coding, smithy! |

| Interesting, will have to do a search for that one, don't recall ever hearing of it. |
I could be wrong but I believe Netscape invented ECMAScript.
Seeing the popularity of Java they renamed it to Javascript.
Ok. Going back to my happy place now. 
We have no weiners!!! You need a microscope.

| To clarify:
Netscape invented a nifty little client-side scripting language called LiveScript, then stupidly renamed it to JavaScript.
Microsoft came up with their own alternative one called JScript. It was similar but by no means the same ("BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! THAT'LL REALLY PISS THE WEB DEVS OFF!!!!")
The ECMA standardised it into ECMAScript, and now all the browser manufacturers are aiming for conformance with that.
Well, most of them are, anyway. Last edited by gnarly on 07-Nov-2005 at 09:57 AM.

And the company that isn't would be - no, wait, don't tell me...
You've got to love them haven't you? As a web developer I now almost take it as a personal affront that anyone should stick with IE.
