Did you try http://mail.yandex.ru/lite/ ?

Nope, my post was mean to be as bug-report, not that i can't use it from any other browsers/oses.

Thanks

It looks like it might be Javascript-related, but I don't get anything on a Javascript-enabled build either. I've raised it on the bugtracker but suspect it won't work until the dynamic layout engine is written.

The CI builds are now Javascript-enabled!

@Chris
GREAT! :)

@Chris

Already downloaded, good news

I should probably warn about a forms bug that is currently present. All checkboxes are set to ticked when the form is submitted, whether that is what you want or not. Here it means notification will be activated, amongst other things.

Can somebody who was having problems with slowness due to multiple graphics cards, please try build #1600 and let me know if it is any better.

@Chris

I tested the #1600 (and not the last 1601) it works now with 2 GFX cards.

No more memory allocated on the 2 cards.

What was the problem ?

@zzd10h

YES!

I needed to give Composite a (correct) friend bitmap.

Congratulations and merci !

The proof, no more GFX memory allocated on my 9250 card :

Another "special" test build of NetSurf: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cdyoung/tmp/netsurf_threaded.lha

This one has the threaded DNS resolver enabled (thanks kas1e!). I've been using it for a few days with no problems, but want to give it a wider test before I commit the CI builds to using it.

To use, make sure you have a recentish CI build installed, then extract the NetSurf binary in the above archive over the top of it (create a copy of the current one first if you want both installed for testing).

In Project=>About you should see that it calls itself 3.1 (Dev) without a CI build number, build date 30.01.2014. Anything else and you've somehow managed to run the wrong one!

Any problems which don't show up in CI build 1670 are likely to be the fault of the threaded resolver - please let me know ASAP. Otherwise next weekend or so the CI builds will be moved over.

The JS detection here does not work: http://www.enable-javascript.com/

@Chris

Cool !
Some browsing here and there and for now seems ok

@Elwood

It does here: http://javatester.org/javascript.html

The Javascript support is very primitive at the moment due to the lack of a dynamic layout engine. If it works on any pages at all it is considered a bonus

And, before anybody asks, NetSurf 4. See http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Development_Plan

@Chris

Doh, JS was not enabled by default Now it works.

@Chris,

Netsurf #1677 is very slow on my sam460ex
Anything I could do to improve and make it faster ?

Thanks for your work !

@pseudaxos

Is anything particular slow? Have you tried disabling JavaScript? Is the threaded resolver build above any better?

@Chris,
Yes, I've tried to disable JavaScripts and the threaded resolver build too but there's no speed difference. Loading the soft is very fast, but after, loading pages is very slow
