Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [842] | The reason that I'm always reluctant to answer this question is that everyone wants to hear something else |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [843x3] | eg. chickenfoot in Firefox |
printing .. eg ghostscript | |
and Rebol of course | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [846x2] | Events for our events system are being added to our browser. Never had that question yet :-) |
Ghostscript: check | |
Rebolek 15-Jun-2007 [848] | I want to hear that Syllable support low-latency audio ;) |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [849x2] | REBOL: in the works |
ORCA: check | |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [851] | what is the state of orca? still in development? |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [852x2] | Lower latency than Linux: check (not perfect yet) |
We have a new audio framework in userspace, but our scheduler still needs to be improved | |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [854] | postgresql or mysql also pretty much required |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [855x2] | ORCA is dormant, but in use, so development will wake up again one day |
No bigger databases yet. Someone tried PostreSQL and we ran into a porting snag for the moment being | |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [857x2] | Anyone porting Firefox? |
the thing is ... the browser is becoming the dominant platform now | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [859x2] | Been tried, but too difficult for the moment being. It's humongous |
We need to do this step by step | |
Rebolek 15-Jun-2007 [861] | Kaj that's great to hear about audio. I'm going to check Syllable again once my new GFX card arives (it's not working my my old one). |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [862x2] | But we have an announcement in that direction, too :-) |
Still not working with your card? | |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [864] | is the Syllable LivePC being updated? |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [865] | What was it, again? |
Rebolek 15-Jun-2007 [866x2] | it was matrox millenium 2mb, I'm probably the last one still using it ;) |
but I should have a new one next week | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [868] | The LivePC, forgot about that one already. It's contributed, so I guess not. We are releasing a VMWare image ourselves, now, though |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [869] | Is javascript fully supported in the browser? |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [870x3] | As far as I know, yes |
But, announcement next week :-) | |
(There are always snags with parts of browser functionality) | |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [873x2] | no antivirus software? |
clam AV? | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [875] | We don't have viruses :-) |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [876] | KHTML browser should be easier to port. |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [877] | Such as Linux anti-virus would probably not be hard to port |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [878] | No, you may not have viruses, but you also don't want to send attachments that do ... |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [879] | I wonder about your comment - REBOL in the works, Orca (check). What do you mean by that? Isn't Orca the only Rebol awailable to you? |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [880] | Our browser has been based on KHTML for six or seven years - years before Apple did it |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [881x2] | wait for next week |
LOL | |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [883] | Graham - it surely can't come with everything from the very beginning :-) |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [884] | Come to the conference. I can bring you Autumn to listen :-) |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [885x2] | I'm getting a status report! |
conference is in Dutch? | |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [887] | Autumn to listen? Don't understand, sorry :-) |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [888] | I guess we'll speak English |
Graham 15-Jun-2007 [889] | takes advantage of multicore processors? |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [890x2] | Gathering, Autumn |
Yes, SMP design from the beginning, and we fixed the implementation last year | |
