Unix
Much of Unix's history is rooted in open-source software. The Unix version of Mozilla is an exciting, open source project that encourages all developers to help build the better browser. Mozilla has a cross-platform (XP) architecture using NGLayout and XPToolkit, and the primary UI is implemented with GTK+.

  • Alexander Larsson has contributed a GTK+ widget which can be used to easily embed gecko into any gtk application. (mozilla/webshell/embed/gtk) To build it you need to add the following configure flag to your mozilla build:
      ./configure --enable-gtk-mozilla
    
    this will build the library and 2 sample tests. Many thanks to Alexander Larsson for contribution this very cool widget. (Ramiro)

  • xptcall needs a small bit of assembly code to do some stack magic; Intel, Sparc, and PPC have been done, other processors underway. Any given OS needs to explicitly turn XPConnect on, look in js/src/xpconnect/src/Makefile.in and xpcom/libxpt/xptcall/src/md/unix/Makefile.(John Bandhauer)
  • Ramiro fixed the form submission bug, now we can use bugzilla & stuff.(Ramiro)


  • Top Issues

  • Incremental reflow needs work, unnecessary redraws are slowing Unix rendering down quite a bit.
  • Rendering efficiency improvements(ramiro)
  • Decent font support (erik, mcafee)
