I'm not happy with the code organization here. XMLTokenizer now has tons of ifdefs and two separate implementations. It's fine to have a QXmlStream implementation, but the two implementations should be in separate files, side by side, as we do in the platform layer. Or the XML parser should be abstracted out so we have a single XMLTokenizer built on a single parser abstraction. I think this is also the type of patch that should be reviewed by at least one person other than the folks concentrating on the Qt port. With the huge number of check-ins today, I'm sure there are other interesting things like this that I missed. -- Darin

get the bits of the complete page
by zaheer ahmad 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

hi, iam working on the gtk port of webkit and have a need to get the bitmap of the entire page without actually rendering it. Is there an easy way to get in the current implementation. one of the ways i thought was to create a cairo surface over a memory buffer (instead of the drawing window in webkit_page_expose_event) and pass it to the scrollview::paint with a complete rectangle. Not sure if this is the right track to solve this issue (also this could be performance/memory intensive) Any inputs would be greatly helpful. thanks, Zaheer

win32 Build Issue
by Brent Fulgham 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, I just managed to get a current SVN build of WebKit to build. The instructions on the website are great, but I ran into a problem because I chose to land my working sources on my D: drive (/cygdrive/d/Development/WebKit) rather than in the suggested home directory. In this configuration, I got a number of path errors: "wtk/Platforms.h: No such file or directory". I suspect that one or more of the bash scripts assumes $HOME or ~ path resulting in the error. As soon as I moved the source tree to my home directory "~/WebKit" everything built properly. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks, -Brent

Webkit flash resizing problem - Leopard
by Mugdha Jain 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Hi Everyone, I have an offscreen flash window and a bitmap representation on the screen. When I resize the window using the setContentSize function, the window is resized but the flash contents displayed don't scale with it. I have been doing the same in Tiger it works, but not in Leopard. If I call reload on the webView the flash is displayed according to the updated size but I lose the flash status. Can someone please guide me what could be the reason and how I can resolve the problem. Thanks in advance! Mugdha

Apple's feature and performance goals for WebKit
by Maciej Stachowiak 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

In the spirit of greater openness, here are some of the general areas where Apple is interested in improvement in the near to mid term, in no particular order: - Major JavaScript performance improvements. JavaScriptCore improved a lot since the Safari-3-stable branch; we think this is an important area for continuing improvement. We've already had a lot of non-Apple contribution here and welcome more. - Support for offline web applications. We have local SQL storage now. We're also interested in many of the other evolving HTML 5 and Web API features for this. - Better compliance to specifications including CSS 2.1, XMLHttpRequest, and so forth. - Improvements to rich media integration (you can see this with the recent HTML5 <video> and <audio> support). - Improvements to graphics, including more complete support for SVG and for new <canvas> features from HTML5 and other browsers. - Continuing to push the envelope with CSS, with experimental support for advanced CSS features. - HTML5 support generally, as the spec becomes more complete. - Support for features of interest to web developers. - Memory footprint improvements. - Support for more advanced Web API specs of interest, such as possibly Selectors API or XMLHttpRequest v2. - Continuing web compatibility improvements. - Additional performance improvements to page load speed. We may post more details about some of these soon. I'm curious what is of interest to other WebKit contributors. I'm especially interested in areas where particular organizations or individuals might be interested in directly contributing. It might be worth collecting this kind of data on a wiki page. Regards, Maciej

planet.webkit.org update
by Adam Roben 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hey everyone- I'm in the process of setting up planet.webkit.org, and thought I'd send along a quick update: First, thanks to our kind (and speedy!) server administrator, we've got the domain all ready to go. Don't get too excited -- it's just a blank page for now. Second, my plan is to get things configured and working on the server, then check in everything to Subversion. That way it'll be easy just as easy to modify planet.webkit.org as it is to modify webkit.org. I'm particularly hoping someone will come up with a nice stylesheet for it. Third, I wanted to propose a few simple guidelines for planet.webkit.org: 1. No feed will be added without the owner's consent. 2. Only feeds belonging to WebKit contributors will be aggregated. 3. Feeds that are proposed to be added to planet.webkit.org should either be WebKit-specific, or contain a high proportion of WebKit-related content. 4. If a feed is found to contain a high proportion of non-WebKit-related content, the feed's owner will be asked to provide a WebKit-specific feed. If the owner fails to do so, the feed may be removed. My hope is that these guidelines will help us to make planet.webkit.org friendly, informative, and relevant to WebKit development. I'll send out another email when the site is up. Thanks! -Adam

Calling all WebKit bloggers
by Adam Roben 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hey everyone- I'm starting to work on setting up a blog aggregator at <http://planet.webkit.org/> and am looking for a set of blogs to seed it with. If you have a blog that you'd like included, please send me an email at <aroben(a)apple.com> with the URL of the feed you want aggregated. WebKit-specific category feeds are preferred over general ones. Thanks! -Adam

Re: ProjectVision
by Alp Toker 29 Nov '07

http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/ProjectVision?action=diff&versi… Please revert this change until the topic has been discussed on the mailing list or bug tracker. You can't just make up a project vision like that. It would be great if the Qt developers could also make more use of the bug tracker and allow for peer review from the wider WebKit team. Unilateral commits by Qt guys have broken other builds recently wasting everyone's time. Thanks

platform/ reorganization
by Nikolas Zimmermann 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Good evening WebKit folks, at some point we decided to break up platform/ into several subdirectories. I started with 'graphics', since then quite some other subdirs evoled ('network', 'posix' etc. just to name a few). Since I'm about to start some novel work on fonts (in the process of adding SVG fonts support), I'd like to continue this for text/font. I'm yet unsure wheter we should have platform/text, platform/fonts, platform/bidi - or just a single directory platform/text and like to hear some opinions about that. I'm trying to group files by categories for now: platform/bidi: BidiContext.cpp BidiContext.h BidiResolver.h UnicodeRange.cpp UnicodeRange.h platform/font: Font.cpp Font.h FontCache.cpp FontCache.h FontData.cpp FontData.h FontDescription.h FontFallbackList.cpp FontFallbackList.h FontFamily.cpp FontFamily.h FontSelector.h GlyphBuffer.h GlyphPageTreeNode.cpp GlyphPageTreeNode.h GlyphWidthMap.cpp GlyphWidthMap.h platform/text: TextBoundaries.h TextBoundariesICU.cpp TextBreakIterator.h TextBreakIteratorICU.cpp TextBreakIteratorInternalICU.h TextCodec.cpp TextCodec.h TextCodecICU.cpp TextCodecICU.h TextCodecLatin1.cpp TextCodecLatin1.h TextCodecUTF16.cpp TextCodecUTF16.h TextCodecUserDefined.cpp TextCodecUserDefined.h TextDecoder.cpp TextDecoder.h TextDirection.h TextEncoding.cpp TextEncoding.h TextEncodingRegistry.cpp TextEncodingRegistry.h TextStream.cpp TextStream.h TextStyle.h I'd actually vote for a single directory platform/text, containing all of the above files. Though if anyone has better suggestions, please speak up. I'd volunteer for doing the move, as well as changing all project files / includes for all ports. Greetings, Niko
