Nice work – I don’t know what it is but it seems a bit more polished to me. I was going to give you 10/10 but you lost a last minute mark because this reply box I’m typing in now doesn’t have a line on the right hand edge.

Thanks Michael and to all those supporting the RISC OS specific elements.

Downloaded, installed and working including the ScrollWheel elements brought in via the latest ROOL beta ROM’s.

Great work, many thanks for continuing to support RISC OS.

A jawdropping huge list of changes, Well I just had to go back to my Iyonix and try a post.
Edit: Hmmm, the re-editing is very snappy.

I was going to give you 10/10 but you lost a last minute mark because this reply box I’m typing in now doesn’t have a line on the right hand edge.

When typing a single long line which just reaches the right side, the last character is only partially visible as if 5-6 pixels of the textarea are covered by right part of the page. The cursor behind that character remains visible though.

The same happens when you type enough text to cause a vertical scrolbar to appear. The scrollbar is only half visible.

Please report all bugs via the Mantis bug tracker, which is fully useable from NetSurf on RISC OS.

I was having several crashes with 3.9 on certain sites (including the Netsurf Browser site!) but so far no problems with 3.10—it seems a bit faster too. Thanks for all the work you and the rest of the team do to keep it going on RISC OS.

OK, so I wondered why I couldn’t see the padlock on the left of the URL bar in 3.10 but could get the information on the status by mouse selecting on what appeared a blank section and then I realised I had a set of themes installed and was using the Cute theme and the sprites for secure status are missing from it.

So I downloaed the NSTheme manager and extracted the Sprites required from standard Aletheia Netsurf theme and merged them with the Cute ones and then changed themes.

I did get a Netsurf crash at that stage but on restarting I now get a unlock/padlock as required.

I’ll go through the other themes now as well and update their sprites.

NetSurf is my preferred browser on RISC OS and only use Otter, Iris or Qupzilla if NetSurf can’t manage the page. So NetSurf developers, thanks for the upgrade.

Add in edit: Just realised this might discourage developers of the other browsers. I need these browsers too. So always look forward to upgrades when they come.
