NetSurf 3.11 has been released!

Update...

Responded too quickly. Next time I used that version of NetSurf, I tried Reuters and the mouse pointer disappeared and my system froze up solid. No response to reset key sequences.

I had to power off and on to recover.

First time I have ever gone to Reuters website with any Amiga web browser, so don't know if it is just bad luck or an issue with this version of NetSurf.


Update#2...

Ooookay...

Reuters website also freezes up my system using NetSurf 3.11
I had to power off and on to recover.

Perhaps my ancient system can't handle this website.

I've had a play around with c-ares today. I've added some code to get the DNS servers (which is what I thought the problem was) but it hasn't helped.

I cheated a bit by only opening bsdsocket for this one function - probably it needs to use it throughout the code rather than clib/newlib (especially when it gets linked to curl as that uses bsdsocket directly), but I don't think that's the problem here.

If anybody wants to look at it my fork is here:

OK, I think the problems are all fixed now (mostly thanks to MickJT). I don't have another test build at this time, but all scenarios should be working;
gethostbyname_r crash circumvented
Threaded resolver working without using the above
SSL errors fixed by using AmiSSL

There should be a full new release before the end of the year, and the CI builds will be working imminently.

Thank you very much this is a great news. I'm looking forward to testing the new version of NetSuf and using it as a browser for some things. Thanks again to MickJT for the support

The next build triggered (6769) will have the fixes in it.

Just installed the latest build version #6772 from November 15: works fine!
Including encrypted websites. No crashes so far!
