Oops, I forgot to change it in the README ! ^^ It's OK, now. Here is the link if you want : https://github.com/DNADNL/NetScript/raw/master/NetSurf_3.6dev_AmigaOS3_2016-08-05.tar

@utri007:
i alway spoke about the latest beta version from here:
http://cy2.uk/netsurfos3
that is the link available from chris page.

@chris:
 you were correct, it seems your latests version can now run on vampire.
thanks a lot for this.

@dnadnl:
thanks for the new build, i'll test it and report. i'm sure others will do so as well.

i have to report something i noticed though,
netsurf is slow to render,
and then slow to scroll even local pages with no javascript and minimal css.
i'm  not bashing, just telling. i think that even if local pages are slow to  render like that, there must be a real problem in the code.
maybe at least the scrolling could be made better with some buffering of the whole page once it is loaded ?

anyway, it is getting better and better and that's great.
keep up the good work

Welcome to the Nineties ! XD This wonderful time when to load a web page, you had to wait every square to be desplayed, and you could see them appear, square by square,from top/left to bottom/right ! ^^

@utri, thanks for your precision, I'm glad to read that.

Hello guys !
About the rainbow pictures issue, for me the problem has been solved by one of the NetSurf developers (I use AGA), so I can't really help you, sorry.

I tried to contact the NetSurf developers via their mailing list but this doesn't work "you are not allowed to post to this mailing list". How can I join them to talk about the DukTape issue, so ? Do you have an idea ?

[DNADNL]

Make sure you're subscribed to it under the email address you're sending from.

OK, I subscribed with a gmail address (I don't know why, but it didn't accept my personal email address). Now I wait the confirmation mail.

EDIT : OK, I can now re-send the mail.

EDIT 2 : Ah, also, I released a new NetScript version, more user-friendly ! Now, you can easily compile NetSurf for AmigaOS3 with your own modifications.
There is also a QUICK MODE, which is useful if you only want to recompile the netsurf folder quickly (~30 sec-1 min).
Finally, there is also a LOG file created, in case you reach the bad ending.

I looked for every files which could contain js in NetSurf but I didn't find the cause of the issue. I don't have any news about the developers (using the netsurf-dev mail list), do you have an idea about or another way to contact them ?

EDIT : @chris I can see the libnsutils compilation doesn't work (so the NetSurf one too)... Do you think it could be due to the changes you've done on it ?

[DNADNL]

The other way is IRC, which is often better ('m not a fan, but it's likely you'll get a response if somebody is on)

I'll see, for the moment I don't have any response since yesterday...

Yeah, I broke it, sorry  Fixed now.

OK ! Thanks !

Incidentally I'd be interested to hear if you have timer issues - ie. pages which refuse to finish loading, the browser just giving up loading pages after a while, etc - see http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum/viewtopic.php?post_id=103107#forumpost103107

I'm going to check this out. Do you have a typical website which could have this kind of behaviors ? I tried to launch twitch.tv on NetSurf windows (it's the only version available in my computer, currently, I'll test this on AmiKit later) but the page doesn't want to load totally, I guess : http://puu.sh/qxFWG/ed4bc8abae.jpg

[DNADNL]

Yes, the Sourceforge page linked to in the first post...

I don't have access to it (Error 403), so I can't test... sry ! :-(

I'm about to commit a fix based on Georg's comments which are looking good so far, so I'm confident this might be fixed.  But if you spot it behaving weirdly there's a load of logging I can enable now

OK, please tell me when you did it, as I can launch NetScript to compile NetSurf for me again and test it on AmiKit.

I've copied up a new build for OS3 with the fixed scheduler (unfortunately doesn't appear to be the inadvertent cause of Duktape problems)

We can't always kill two birds with a stone ! ^^

In fact, if you need some help for a french translasion, I'll be glad to help you ! ^^

EDIT : Ah, also, I corrected some JS mistakes, mostly in the netsurf/test/javascript HTML files (I thought this was the cause of the DukTape Issue). If you want, I can give them to you.

Hello World !

@chris
I would like to activate the Debug commands (DUK_D, DUK_DD, DUK_DDD, DUK_DPRINT...), but what I tried didn't work. Could you please tell me how to do ?

[DNADNL]

yes i'm using uae at the moment,
this week i will switch to a600 + vampire (i'm waiting for parts)

i have mungwall, enforcer and sashimi running in the background.
when i quit netsurf, i get the crash, but nothing from those tools is reported.
whereas for the previous build that was direct p96 on rtg,
i had gfx corruption, but no crashs on exit.
i can reproduce this everytime.

I have the same kind of issue on Happiga for Raspberry Pi (the 8000-0004 Issue), even if I use Picasso 96 ; and the same issue comes sometimes to AmiKit. I think It's a memory leak here, as the RPi has "only" 1GB (and 8 MB allocated to The Amiga System), and AmiKit has 8 GB I think.

[DNADNL]

i installed smartcrash, does this info helps ?

edit: i have 128mb allocated to amiga

I can't really help you on that point, sry !.
Did you use SnoopDOS, also ? This can log the whole activity done on your computer (for example, when you launch NetSurf), and you can obtain a TXT file, then, much easier to read ^^

[DNADNL]

i don't think it will be useful for this but, here is the snoopdoslog:
http://paste.debian.net/789741/

Well, it doesn't seem to be useful, yeah... Maybe chris will have an idea with all your files.

[DNADNL]

Add the following at the top of duk_custom.h:

Code: [Select]

#define DUK_USE_DEBUG 1
#define DUK_USE_DEBUG_LEVEL 2
#define DUK_USE_DPRINT 1
#define DUK_USE_DDPRINT 1

You might want to fiddle with the value of DEBUG_LEVEL, and either add DDDPRINT or remove DDPRINT.  The debug defines don't seem to work entirely as documented.

OK, I did this, but it seems nothing appears between the famous rows "Creating new duktape javascript context" and FATAL 56... is it normal ?

Here is what I wrote in duk_config.h :

Code: [Select]

//DNADNL DEBUG
#define DUK_USE_DEBUG 1
#define DUK_USE_DEBUG_LEVEL 2
#define DUK_USE_DPRINT 1
#define DUK_USE_DDPRINT 1
#define DUK_USE_DDDPRINT 1


[DNADNL]

duk_custom.h, not duk_config.h
It works here, that's all I can say.

Woops ! Misreading, Sorry ! ^^'
