rodarima··on Show HN: Resurrecting the Dillo browser
Thanks!

> What's the minimum compiler you target?

I didn't defined any (yet), but shouldn't be too hard to add to the CI.

> Any big long term plans?

First preventing it from dying and getting removed from distros. Then it depends of how much free time I can dedicate to it, but at least maintaining it.

> Fuzzing?

I would say first adding some of the other browser tests suites. That should catch a lot of rendering issues. But yeah, fuzzing would be interesting, specially for the custom HTML and CSS parsers.

> Moving to 'modern' build system like CMake?

Yes, I had to modify the configure.ac and that was very painful, specially targeting a lot of platforms. It is also broken for cross compilation. I have to check also how is the support for cmake in other systems, so we can safely remove Automake and friends. But I didn't want to introduce any big changes before 3.1 is released.

Generally not great, as Dillo doesn't support Javascript and most modern sites are using it to create content. But if the site degrades well without JS it should render reasonably well.
