WebKit Welcome Page
by Timothy Hatcher 08 Jan '06

08 Jan '06

One item we have been talking about adding to the nightly builds is a page that loads on launch. This page would thank you for testing WebKit and give you links for certain tasks to help us. This is my concept for the page. Feedback and suggestions to improve this are welcomed. http://colloquy.info/webkit-page.png — Timothy Hatcher

Tree is closed
by Maciej Stachowiak 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

We have measured a performance regression this morning so Darin has decided that the tree is closed to new commits until we have identified and resolved the regression. I thought I'd pass on the message here for the benefit of non-Apple committers. There's no need to stop coding and submitting patches, of course. Regards, Maciej

OK, that's a help -- now I'm just trying to figure out how to get the right corresponding WebCore and JavaScriptCore that corresponds to "WebKit-412~7" tag in WebKit. Any suggestions? (A typical file in WebCore has ~400 tags). I do notice some tags that all 3 repositories have, like "Safari-1-2- branch" and "Safari-412~0~1" but it's not clear which one might correspond to any particular release. Anybody have any other suggestions for how to figure out how to get a particular official, stable release? Dan Wood

Opera 9 Technology Preview 1 Available
by Dan Udey 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

For those who haven't caught it yet, TP1 of Opera 9 is out and about now, you can grab it at the normal site: http://snapshot.opera.com/ Among other things, the keyboard shortcuts are fixed (Cmd-N is New Window, Cmd-D is Add Bookmark, and Cmd-T is New Tab, etc.), and the Aqua theme resembles Aqua. Initial reports say that it is much faster than previous versions (Linux), and also that it is much slower (Windows), but so far, it doesn't seem noticeably different to me. Oh well. A lot of fixes, but it's still Opera. ;) Dan Udey

Clear colour
by André-John Mas 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Hi, I am creating a web site designed to be used by a Kiosk, in a dark environment. The problem I have is because I use frames page loading seems to bit slower and so the white colour that is used to clear the page before a redraw is very apparent. Since Safari does not allow me to change this colour, I am planning on making a custom build of WebKit. For this reason I would appreciate it if someone knows offhand which file I should be looking at to save me a bit of time. André-John

cvs.opensource.apple.com upgrade
by Kevin Van Vechten 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

WebKit Committers, I will be performing a system upgrade on cvs.opensource.apple.com this afternoon at 3pm PDT which will requiring taking it offline for about 15-20 minutes. I'll be disabling logins, and ensuring all pending CVS commits are flushed prior to taking it offline This will not affect anoncvs.opensource.apple.com, so anonymous CVS checkouts will continue to work during this time. Thanks, Kevin

Re: [webkit-changes] cvs commit: JavaScriptCore/kjs date_object.cpp
by George Staikos 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

I'm guessing that this fixes the case of adding a value to a date and crossing the DST boundary. At least prior to this patch it would be off by an hour. I posted a possible fix which seems to fix it for me and has been applied to KJS. It's portable, and this is not. Any reason why the portable one wasn't used, and is it possible to commit it also? (assuming that this patch does what I think..)

Strange Compile Error in HashMap/HashSet
by Justin Haygood 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Apparently, Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 doesn't like HashMap: {snip}\JavaScriptCore\kxmlcore\HashMap.h(46) : error C2440: 'specialization' : cannot convert from 'T1::first_type (__cdecl *)(const T1 &)' to 'KXMLCore::HashMap<Key,Mapped,HashFunctions,KeyTraits,MappedTraits>::KeyType (__cdecl *)(const KXMLCore::HashMap<Key,Mapped,HashFunctions,KeyTraits,MappedTraits>::ValueType &)' None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type This error is fired in 2 cases: different calling conventions (not the case here, both using cdecl) or something I don't particularly understand (something along the lines like casting from a TemplateType<Bla> to a TemplateType). Any clues as to what its not liking? Relevant code: private: typedef HashTable<KeyType, ValueType, extractFirst<ValueType>, HashFunctions, ValueTraits> ImplType; I highly believe its the extractFirst<ValueType> that's causing the failure, which is defined as: template<typename PairType> inline typename PairType::first_type extractFirst(const PairType& value) { return value.first; } Thanks, Justin Haygood
